this is classic ozzie
a mixture of humor, shock value, and cocksure assurance
welcome to south florida, ozzie
miami marlin's new manager, ozzie guillen
employing his 1st amendment rights
shot off his big mouth, again, but this time it was
not at the ump or a player but to his new neighbors
and he said just about the worst thing you can in miami
'i love fidel castro' - oops
the cuban community there are not friends with their
former dictator and even though they've enjoyed
all the benefits of uncle sam for quite some time
they still hold a grudge
yesterday his new employer came down hard on the manager
and came down hard
the marlins announced guillen would be banished
- kicked from the dugout for 5 games
- that's one way to appease the fans
with a brand new stadium - they wanna sell some tickets
no matter what it looks like otherwise
and team officials stated outright their disappointment
with their new manager's thoughtless comments
i think they were just embarrassed that they hired guillen
to me, ozzie's biggest crime, it would appear...
is forgetting how to read his audience - angry ex-cubans
this is simply a matter of 'ozzie being ozzie'
he just hasn't become familiar with his new surroundings
he will soon enough
he's been told to talk about baseball and not politics
or where he gets his cigars
