Ozzie Guillen

[Nate tha\\\' Great]

Guillen manages his pitching staff really well, seems to motivate his players really well, and is highly entertaining. I don't see the problem.

[Jack of Arcades]

Yeah, Guillen's a hell of a manager.

[nsdjoe]

Maybe you have to be a Sox fan, but I love the guy.

Why is Ozzie in a beanball incident every week?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because other teams throw at the White Sox players first. Ozzie has not instigated the start of any of said beanball wars. His guys get hit twice and then HE gets warned. It's pure BS. You can only take so much until you have to retaliate. None of this was started by Ozzie as other teams start it almost routinely.

note to Ozzie: everytime a player gets hit by a pitch does not mean they are purposely beaning your players


I swear that I met more calm and less defensive people in prison

He called a reporter a [censored]

But the funniest part was when he was trying to justify his comments:

Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago.

Attended WNBA games? Went to a Madonna concert?

Isn't this taking love of gayness a bit too far for a straight dude?

[Caldarooni]

What are the Gay Games?

[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Guillen. Calling Mariotti a [censored] is so awesome.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. Mariotti is a [censored], so what's the problem?

There's no way Padilla hit AJ twice on accident in Texas. I didn't see the game last night, so I can't really comment. I know Ponson's a bum, so it's plenty possible he had no control. Regardless, I don't think it's wrong for Ozzie to send a statement to the rest of the league. Nor should it be a big deal, this stuff is routine in baseball from the High School level up.

OT: What the hell is wrong with Mark Mulder?

His choice of language is not defensible, but his stock still goes up in my book for bashing Jay Mariotti.
