Mariotti Responds

A couple of really good points there. It is quite ironic that the man who helped get Marge Schott out of baseball is letting Ozzie run amuck.

I find it so ironic that Reinsdorf is on MLB's Equal Oppurtunity Committee.

BTW - Over / Under on the legs for this story is Sunday. No one will be caring or talking about this come Monday.

This is a self-centered, egotistical, approch at martydom. Mariotti says this is not about him, yet plays himself as the victim and the only honest writer in Chicago. Does he really expect people to belive the garbage he is flinging? Ozzie shoudl be fined, to send a message that the Sox do not want to be represented in such an impulsive, careless way. That's how I feel about Guillen, he is careless, impulsive, and irrational, but I can't believe he actually was calling Mariotti a homosexual. He was using the term as most of us do to call one of our friends whimp. Like Arnold, calling someone a 'girly man', it has the same connotation. A 2 week suspension? Ha.

Did anybody see "around the horn" ? did mariotti address the situation on there?

That is by far the best piece of writing I have ever read from Jay Mariotti - and, for once, I agree with him.

I love the fact that when players and managers give the same old cliched answers to everything and go the PC route people get upset at them for not being honest, and then when people do give their honest opinions we roast em for it. Ozzie has been fined an undisclosed amount by Bud Selig and ordered to undergo sensitivity training..FYI.

I couldn't agree more with this article. That was fantastic. Mariotti's right - his antics are coming way too frequently for comfort. I mean, flying off the handle once in a while is one thing. This guy is doing it almost on a daily basis. His temper and his mouth are out of control, and Selig needs to do something about it, because the White Sox front office obviously won't. But, it also appears Selig won't. Once again, fame and ratings come before logic and decency.

I agree that this was a well written article and agree with many of Mariotti's points, but this is not the way to do this. Putting their dispute out in public is almost stooping to Guillen's level. If Mariotti wants Guillen to know how he feels, he should talk to Guillen himself, not make himself the story like he did in this article.
