Ozzie Guillen has set his closer for the all-star game:
Mariano Rivera worked the ninth inning last night, and White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen announced earlier that he plans to use Rivera as his closer in the All-Star Game ahead of his own closer, Bobby Jenks.
"Mariano Rivera is a Hall of Famer and this is maybe his last All-Star Game," Guillen told reporters in Chicago. "What this guy has done in baseball ... he should be my closer."
Not a huge Guillen fan, but I definitely appreciate the sentiment here.
