Ozzie Guillen Respect Quotations

I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.

People thought I was going to be jumping around my players. I have to respect the opposite team. It went through my mind to say, 'I'm so glad to see my boys, my players jumping back and forth and celebrating this.' Because it was an amazing feeling seeing them like little kids.

This is a tough issue. We have to respect them because they kicked our butt last night. If we think they're doing something different, then we have to change the signs, location, whatever.

I'm not going to change him because he's struggling right now. The way you are, I respect that.

I have to respect the other manager of the other team, and when your job is manager, I let the guys enjoy themselves and celebrate with the winning.

They are the type of team you don't want in the playoff because they can get hot and kill you. I don't want to say it's a great feeling because I respect the manager and the players over there, but I have been worried about them all summer.

They get along because they have to, ... No matter what country, what religion, what you believe, we have a team. I respect people's religion. I respect people's race. I respect the way they grow up. ... They might not hang together in the street, but when they're in the ballpark they've got to fight for one reason.
