Re: Ozzie Guillen
Ozzie, the douche, speaks:

"If Ponson says he is not hitting them on purpose, we believe it," Guillen said. "And I don't believe Riske hit anybody on purpose either."

whatever
Here was the situation
The Cards are down 14-2 in the sixth (another great Mulder outing).
Ponson is on the mound and has already given up 4 hits and the bases are still loaded. Ponson is upset about being moved to bullpen and has vocalized it. However, it is because he has been marginal at best in his outings struggling with his control and putting stuff on the ball.
He hits Brian Anderson, who had done little of the Sox damage. Ozzie goes nuts and starts hollering from the dugout at Ponson. Who knows why? He was probably bored from pounding the Cards so bad and needed something to get his blood going again.
Then, Ponson hits Ozuna on a 2 strike pitch. Ozzie gets near ballistic and blows everything out of proportion. Even the umpires, who issued a warning on the first hit batter, did not throw Ponson out because they realized it was ridiculous to think he was purposefully hitting batters. Ozzie, with his little baseball sense, cannot figure that out of course.
LaRussa, after Ozzie's confrontation with the umpires, goes out and pulls Ponson to make it clear the Cards are sending no messages and just want to get the hell out of this jopke of a game they have played so far.
Ozzie has Duncan hit the next half inning.
so, bases loaded down 14-2, Ozzie thinks Ponson is going after Brian Anderson and Pablo Ozuna after giving up multiple base hits. WTF indeed?
