He said of Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti: "What a piece of shit he is, a fucking f*g."

He called Magglio Ordonez "another Venezuelan motherfucker."

Friday morning on a radio show, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen unleashed another profanity-laced outburst after the host questioned why starting catcher A.J. Pierzynski wasn't in the lineup for the interleague opener against the Cubs.

Pierzynski had been on the show earlier, saying he was disappointed to be left out of the lineup as the White Sox started backup catcher Toby Hall.

"Ozzie called up and after he swore the first time, I asked him nicely to take it easy. He swore again and that's when it blew up," WSCR-AM host Mike North said.

The two-minute interview began with North asking: "How you doing, Ozzie?" and the manager replying: "Oh, shut the [bleep] up."

Guillen thought both players used bad judgment by going public with their comments.

"No matter what the reason is, who is right, who is wrong, to me, both were wrong," Guillen said Monday. "If this thing continues like that, 'If you want to fight, the locker room is going to be empty, you'll get it done and we move on.' Because they are going to be together for a long time. They're pitcher and catcher and I don't think there is going to be any reason to do that. Hopefully everything is cleared after today."
