CHICAGO, June 30 (UPI) -- Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen, fined for using a gay slur against a columnist, says he'll spend an off-day at the Gay Games on July 17. He also plans to attend sensitivity training sessions soon, the Chicago Sun- Times reported.
Guillen said he had already planned to attend the Gay Games, and his visit is not related to the trouble he got into with Major League Baseball for calling Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti a "fag" during a locker room interview.
Guillen has apologized.
You got it ... wait till you see his mitt!
The Gay Pentathalon:
100m Sashay.
Pole Vault.
Wrestling (Nude).
Butt Darts.
Clean and Jerk.
switch-hitters no doubt
Orwellian, to say the least.
What if he smoked? Would he be bannished to never-never land with all of the fairies?
is this Scrappleface?
As a Cub fan, I should be ecstatic about this mess (especially this weekend), but I have a lot of respect for Ozzie's tenacity and ability to motivate (something Dusty Baker doesn't know much about). He should've been more careful, but this is just so much over-reaction on the part of the White Son (who I'm sure pressured him to go).
Woops! White SOX, not White SON! (lol)
I read the pole vault and wrestling venues were sold out. What kind of baton is used in the 400 meter relay?
And, afterwards, he'll take in a WNBA game...
Indeed. Especially those guy who can perform in long and short relief.
I think it's only far to let Dusty stay now that he is close to having his full team back.
I think it's time to trade Pryor as he's not panning out to be the pitcher we expected for the Cubs, maybe someplace else but not here...
Kerry is finished. I don't see him pitching anywhere.
I wonder if in the history of the world any queer has ever been required to attend sensitivity training because of their hatred for heteros (or breeders as they say). Somehow I doubt it.
I don't see much of anything good happening on the North Side. It's incredibly hilarious that the only guy that seems to know what's going on with the Cubs is Steve Stone. He predicted quite accurately that 1) Kerry Wood is a mechanical disaster better suited to selling cars, and 2) Prior was hiding an injury since last season.
Wood is done with the Cubs unless he accepts a low-ball, incentive-laden offer for next year. Prior, we're stuck with for now. Essentially, we're looking at AT LEAST another one hundred years of futility.
Wonder if he will also be wearing pink. Or maybe yellow for caving into them.
You're right. The guy knows alot about baseball, much more so than Kenny Williams. I think he'd make a great GM for the CUBs, but for some reason he's not well liked.
I am with the Thought Police. May I see your papers, please?
I am a White Sox fan, but I bet the White Sox would get better results from Prior and Wood than the Cubs would. Don Cooper, the White Sox pitching coach as performed wonders with other pitchers in similar situations. A great example is this guy- Thornton they picked up for Joe Borchard. He was horrible for Seattle and is performing fairly well for the Sox. Even Jenks was a discard from the Angels and has tremendously improved as a White Sox.
Coaching can make a huge difference. Sounds like the Cubs need a change, at least of pitching coaches.
