    Guillen calls columnist Mariotti homosexual slur

    Mariotti is calling for a 2 week suspension. http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay22.html The time has come for a two-week suspension, long enough for human sensibility and decency to kick in. It's more important the Sox send a message about what they stand for than what Guillen's absence might mean in a pennant race. Let Ozzie think about life a little. Send him out for some professional sensitivity training, not what is being attempted by unskilled shrinks in the public-relations office. Tell him why it's fine to admonish a media person all he wants -- a critic should accept criticism, naturally -- as long as Guillen doesn't step over the line and slur gay groups. Most importantly, explain what happened to Schott, Al Campanis and Jimmy "The Greek'' Snyder when they made insensitive comments. They were fired, run out of their professions. I am hardly alone in thinking Guillen, if he doesn't wise up, is headed toward a bad ending in Chicago. As somebody who lobbied hard in print for Ozzie to get the job, I knew he would be a politically incorrect load at times. But little did I know he would become a national embarrassment to a city, a franchise and a sport. The incidents are coming a little too frequently for comfort, and anyone who thinks he's just deflecting attention from his team isn't living on a sane planet. The shame of it is, his antics are taking away from the enjoyment of a rare World Series championship in this town, a title he made happen. As long as the Sox are winning, I suppose there will be enough Neanderthal fans who would defend a manager for an ax murdering. But when a lightning rod starts struggling and losing -- see Bob Knight, Indiana -- even the big bosses lose patience with the nonstop stunts. Guillen's beef with me involves his belief that if I criticize him, I should rush down to the ballpark immediately and let him litter me with insults. If that sounds like high-school macho nonsense, realize it's the general mentality of baseball clubhouses. Imagine a critic panning a movie, then being required to take a tongue-lashing the next day from an angry Vince Vaughn. Imagine a restaurant critic not liking an Italian joint, then having to show up so the chef can throw meatballs at him. Sorry, guy, I'm not a beat writer who covers the team every day. Tuesday night, I was at Game 6 of the NBA Finals, where I should have been. Next week, I'll be at the NBA draft. Next month, I'll be at the British Open. If Ozzie has a problem with my schedule, he should behave better so I don't have to write about him. I might cede to Guillen's wishes, by the way, if Sox management through time had been more professional in controlling numerous incidents in which I was threatened physically in their clubhouse. This, in turn, led to published stories about the episodes and turned me into what no journalist wants to be -- the news -- which led to a Sox-generated perception that I am some evil being who roots for the Cubs. Tribune Co. will confirm that as thoroughly absurd. Finally, last season, there were death threats and an incident at U.S. Cellular Field involving Carl Everett. Again, the Sox don't even address volatile issues when they involve me and other writers. Until they do, these are the rules they'll have to live by. Consider the latest Guillen flareups to be Exhibit A of why this situation exists.
  3. I am a pistons fan. That being said other than any of the pistons shaq is my favorite player and I am very happy to see him win one without kobe before kobe won one without him. How can you not like Shaq man? He is a funny guy and a gret big man.

    I love the way you think. We need to get better at killing the sox before we can go to the world series.

    We got a NO NO brewing

    Matt Cain is hoping to throw the first no-no since 2004. The 21-year-old Giants righty has no-hit the Angels through seven innings. The Angels, who trail the Giants 2-1, scored on a throwing error. And its gone.
  8. I got caught driving on a suspended licence. It was suspended because I owe a "drivers responsibility fee" stemming from a ticket I got 2 years ago. Every year for the last 2 years I have had to pay 800 bucks and this is after I payed the ticket and got my licence cleared up. I did not pay it this year because I just did not have it. I just got a job and was popped last week. So I am going to court to explain myself. I need a restricted liscense untill I can pay off the fines. Any ideas on how I should handle this? Should I just throw myself on the mercy of the court and explain that I am doing the best I can do and that I can't pay the fines if I can't drive to work. Would that work? I explained it to the cop that pulled me over and he was very understanding about the issue. I have a good driving record. I have only had 2 moving violations in the last 10 years and they were both for 5 over. No wrecks since I was 19 and im 30 now. The original ticket was for expired tags and it just spiraled out of control from there.

    Detroit tigers homers

    Miller allowed one hit from the fourth through seventh innings. He left with one out in the eighth, having allowed five runs on six hits. The five runs matched the most against him this season. He walked three and struck out nine. He gave up a chunk of runs but still had 9 K's.
  15. For its workers that are retired now. What a bunch of sh!t. And I suppose they will get away with it.

    Extra Innings

    I went to see The Rocket win his 300th game against the tigers on fathers day a few years back. Got my dad to actually go into the dirty D to see this historic moment. The game went 18 innings and clemens did not get the win david wells did. 18 innings in the hot sun and they stopped serving beer after the 7th.

    The Geno Steak controversy

    Could it possibly be that he is just tired of people coming up and ordering in a language that he does not understand. He is not asking them to renounce god. Just don't hold up the line and SPEAK FOCKING ENGLISH.
