Ozzie Guillen

[prohornblower]

Why are people shocked that David Riske, the guy who has a roster spot in the MLB because Tracey got sent down for NOT beaning someone, beaned someone?

As if LaRussa didn't expect one of his players to get hit. Two of Guillens guys got hit, and I'm pretty sure LaRussa is aware of the Guillen/Tracey fiasco that just occured less than 2 weeks ago.

This isn't a big deal to me. Now I didn't see the game, but if Sox players were stealing bases up by 10 runs, then they deserved to get beaned. I didn't see the game. I don't know the particulars.

Guillen will have a job as long as his team keeps playing like they do. These comments to Mariotti aren't enough to get him canned. This + his team losing? Yeah.

BTW, Mariotti is a massive toolbag, he kind of deserves to be called this and much worse. Ken "Hawk" Harrelson challenged Mariotti to a fistfight and Mariotti declined. He ran away from a 95 year old guy who says "He Gone."

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].

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."

[/ QUOTE ]

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?

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

Attended WNBA games? Went to a Madonna concert?

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

Chris -

I didn't know. The Madona concerts, the gay games, the WNBA. Now it makes much more sense.

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

It must be hard to resist the temptation to send the douche off on a tirade.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is there going to be any criticism of Showalter for ordering Padilla to hit Pierzynski because of a 2 year old pissing contest? Or LaRussa for hitting two White Sox batters in an inning when the game was getting out of hand? I'm starting to wonder about the motivation behind the constant Ozzie-bashing.

[Smelly]

Ozzie says that people don't understand- that people talk that way in his country.

Well go back to your [censored] country then Ozzie.

Adios cabron! Extranjero estupido!

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

Padilla hit Pierzynski twice in the same game. Ponson hit two White Sox batters in an inning. Yeah, guys get hit with pitches. But grow up. Everybody knew what was going on.
