Re: Ozzie Guillen
the Cards were down by two touchdowns and Ponson was meat.
he had no control and hit a guy.
Ozzie overreacted (big surprise) and started hollering at Ponson from the dugout. This is quite ironic considering Ozzie got all over Garner in the past for talking directly to his players.
Next batter...Ponson hit on a 1-2 count. Ponson's reaction was that he didn't mean it. LaRussa went out and pulled Ponson to clearly send the message that nothing was intended. Ozzie still had a guy plunked the next inning.
Why? Because Ozzie is a small human being with self-esteem issues.
When one team is involved over and over again, well....
OTOH, he did learn from LaRussa, who gets off on the same stupid [censored].
