Marlins' Guillen Says He's Through With Twitter

ATLANTA (AP) — Ozzie Guillen has bad news for his 230,927 Twitter followers. He says he has posted his final tweet.

Guillen, the sometimes outspoken Miami Marlins' manager, said Thursday "I hate Twitter. I don't need the aggravation ... so many nasty people."

He announced on his (at)OzzieGuillen Twitter account his departure in English and Spanish by saying "my last tweet. me ultimo tweet good luck buena suerte."

The 47-year-old Guillen says he advises his followers to follow Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison. Guillen says Morrison is "more fun" and "has better stuff than me."
