My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
  1. Toledo Rockets
And so it begins. He'll probably go manage in Japan, or the minors, or something.

Brad Ausmus told MLB.com's Brian McTaggart (via Twitter) that he enjoyed meeting with the Astros but has withdrawn his name from consideration for their managerial job. The former catcher may also be a candidate for the Marlins if they move on from Ozzie Guillen.

Mike Lowell also discussed as a possible replacement. Seems weird to be leaking this right now especially with the size of the contract and the trade that happened to get Ozzie to Miami, but I guess they have some money to burn and need some quick fixes.

Firing him would be a good business move, PR move and baseball move.

As the rumors about Guillen's status build, a source said that the owner has not reached a conclusion. If Loria had decided to retain Guillen, then he most likely would have said something this weekend as he did with Beinfest and the rest of the front office. Several sources have said that there is a "60 percent" chance that Guillen won't be back.
Guillen’s status also could be impacted by some other candidates. For example, if the Marlins could convince Mike Lowell to take the job, then Guillen could be out. However, sources told Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald yesterday that Lowell won't be considered for the job.
