Ozzie Guillen

[ QUOTE ]
Ozzie said he used the word to "insult his manhood" or something, which clearly shows he wasn't using it as a substitute for "jerk." Furthermore, Ozzie isn't some Joe spouting off at his buddy in private. That word is not suitable to any professional setting. I can imagine a boss or CEO saying "jerk" or "dummy" or "idiot" but not ozzie's word.

[/ QUOTE ]
He claims he used it to indicate Marriotti was weak or fearful.

First off, I'd rather have him than the clown they have on the north side.

Who the hell mentioned the Cubs? Typical fan that gives all Sox fans a bad name, always has to bring the Cubs woes into discussions involving the Sox.

Ozzie either holds or shares the major league record for most times victimized by the hidden ball trick. Take it into account.

As PHB mentioned, there was the Torii Hunter/Jamie Burke thing 2 years ago. I don't remember if there was a retaliatory HBP though.

[/ QUOTE ]

i don't think it was a direct retaliation, but i went to a
2004 game where garcia beaned koskie three times and was not even warned. the twins fans behind me were livid, but there was no retaliatory beaning by the twins (the everett HBP was incidental and occurred the inning before the third koskie beaning). but ozzie wouldn't have even made it to the plate the third time, because he already would have been dead or in the hospital or whatever. i guess the canucks just play ball differently than the venezuelans, eh?

this should be clarified to say that he sprung the hidden ball trick more often than anyone else, not fell for it. definitely a cool bullet point on his resume.

Hey Sharktank, you know what's sad?

The White Sox are the defending world champions and still don't even draw close to the number of fans that the Cubbies do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

When I was in Chicago last time, I read a Trib that said the Sox are on pace to draw 3 million+ (and beat whatever the franchise record is) while the Cubs were on pace for less than 3 million for the first time in a long time.

But yeah, you're right, they aren't even close.

sad that they win the World Series, the Cubbies finish in the basement, and the Cubs still draw more.

White Sox will always be the #2 team in ChiTown, win or lose. Sorry boy

I'll take "World Series within the last century" for the win.
