I don't follow baseball too closely but how exactly did he get an extension (and such a long one) when his team is the second-worst in baseball? Do they have a ton of injuries or something?

Not really, the only starter down at the moment is Joe Crede. I guess Kenny isn't being results oriented and likes how Ozzie is handling the job. I haven't heard a peep in the Chicago media about firing Ozzie either. The collective wisdom in Chicago is that the team is just unlucky this year.

bummer

Ozzie amuses me
He sucks as a manager, but is an outspoken idiot
He fits Chicago perfectly

It's like having the Ditka of baseball managers

Smart people predicted them to be awful this year. They were right. There's no unluckiness about it, they have by far the worst run differential in the majors.

Pretty much sums up my opinion of White Sox fans.

in fairness, Southern Chicagoland is an economically deprived area that doesn't have the benefit of good schools and social systems that embrace intelligence

Can't fault Ozzie for what Kenny put on the field.

Ozzie is fine. He does a lot of stupid things, but most managers do. He seems to manage his personnel well enough and does fine with the pitchers. You can't ask for a lot more. Just because he's an outspoken idiot and swears a lot isn't a valid reason to think he sucks as a manager.
