Guillen-Peavy: Jake Peavy levels more criticism at Ozzie Guillen - chicagotribune.com

Nothing new, really.

Taking his repeated offseason criticism of his former manager even further, pitcher Jake Peavy wondered "who quit on who" during an interview Saturday on WSCR-AM 670.

It's no secret Peavy and Ozzie Guillen didn't end the season as friends, especially after Guillen was left out of a decision to shut down the $16-million pitcher after Sept. 6.

During a Tribune interview in December, Peavy said Guillen's departure "needed to happen, for both sides. … Things needed to change with the way we did things. We're all to blame. It wasn't just Ozzie."

Saturday, he said, "I know he had a hard time, saying I quit on him, which couldn't be further from the truth," Peavy said. "I would never quit on a team. … Ozzie didn't finish the season with us the last (two) games. So I don't know who quit on who."

The tension between Peavy and Guillen started well before the decision of general manager Ken Williams and pitching coach Don Cooper to shut down the starter. Guillen wasn't in on the matter — perhaps signaling his subsequent move to the Marlins — and was clearly upset.

"At the end of the day, Ozzie didn't really know what goes on, (about the decision)" Peavy said.

Agreed. If a player is willing to go this far, then a big number of players on the team feel a lot more strongly than that.

divided clubhouse?

mark buehrle, sergio santos, CQ, frasor, omar etc could have been on one side and some of the others could have been against him. we will never know what happened behind closed doors.

Wow, a ****** talking about a ******.

It's like an episode of Jersey shore. Who cares?

Sure, Ozzie is a ******, but the last person I want to hear from about the Sox locker room is the biggest ****** of all, Jake Peavy.

God damn, I wish this baseball season was already over.

Good insight.

Didn't Vizquel say something regarding the locker room being a mess or something sometime during the last few weeks of the season?

Something I'll have to look up.

I would have to believe Peavy. Ozzie is a headcase and a first-class asshole. I hope Peavy can give the Sox some quality starts this year.

I'm glad Peavy came out to say this, a lot of people I know don't think Ozzie is a jerk and I wish they would realize it so maybe hearing it from a big name player will help

:lol: why do you say that Saber

He's just as big of an assbag as Ozzie is; the pot calling the kettle black. But, that has nothing to do with how I feel about him as a pitcher. I hope he can finish the season without his arm falling off and get the Sox some wins. He's 31, which is typically when pitchers peak. His stuff is still pretty good. So, I'm hoping can bring it in 2012.

I gotcha. I agree as well. If Peavy could pitch as well as he criticized, he'd be an All-Star. Hope he gets on track this year.

I guess Peavy kind of took a shot at Ozzie..but I didn't really feel he was ripping him. I read it more as Ozzie was kind of being forced out anyways. Peavy is a meathead so if on one side he knows Ozzie was being forced out by Kenny down teh stretch then how can Peavy really say Ozzie "quit" on the team when the management basically cut Ozzie's balls off on player decisions. Ozzie is a dick or whatever but not sure I understand Peavy's point here.
