Gotta love Ozzie. I probably don’t agree with him about some things, but I think he very much appreciates the opportunities America gave him, and he was, in my view, a helluva shortstop. He’s so right. Sean Penn is an idiot.
Ozzie and I kinda have a bad history. The guy does not like me mainly because I interrupted a conversation he was having with the head of marketing for the White Sox. And I've been on his case for starring at women in the stands than watching the damn game. But he got us to 4 1/2 back, I can live with that. If we are 3 games out by the All Star Break the White Sox will win the division CAN'T WAIT FOR CUBS SERIES!!!
GO WHITE SOX!!!
And thank you Ozzie for standing up to dictators!!! Too bad the (#1 supposed White Sox fan Zero won't stand up to dictators...)
Back when Ozzie was still playing at short for the Sox, my sister and her family were vacationing in Florida in the spring, and stopped by the White Sox camp in Sarasota, which was still the site of their training facility at that time.
It was raining when they got to the ball field, and as my nephews came by to ask for autographs, all of the ball players rushed back to the clubhouse, pretty much ignoring them, except for one: Ozzie Guillen, who stood there in the rain signing their cards.
I was really down on Ozzie a number of years back when I saw him in a PR picture with Chavez, but he’s pretty much redeemed himself with me now.
Yeah........and the majority of Iraqis, poor people who elected Saddam Hussein time and again..........

Who you gonna believe - - Venezuelan native Ozzie Guillen or Hollywood simpleton Sean Penn?
YOU GO OZZIE!!!
My next door neighbors are from Caracas. Last week they took a vacation to Miami. While going through the airport, they said they ran into several old friends from Venezuela. They were all fleeing and leaving everything behind like cars, apartments, houses because they can’t sell them. There are no buyers.
They told me it made them sick. That it reminded them of when people fled Cuba when Castro took over.
None of this is being reported here in the MSM, but it is real and it is happening.
A few months ago, his mother barely escaped a kidnapping attempt. The robbers stole her car but she’s OK and now in Italy.
The ones that can get out are leaving in droves. And all the Venezuelans that I’ve met believe in capitalism.
Ah, somedays it is good to be a WS fan :)
