May 12, 200520 yr I think the praise driven comments by the great & powerful Oz were a result of Williams talking to him. You have to draw a line between being open & honest to a fault & offending people. It did not help the organization when Ozzie spoke ill of Olivo & it did not help the organization when Ozzie sounded like Scarface in response to Magglio calling him his enemy. These new comments seem to reflect a better understanding of that. Don't expect a reveral in behavior though. The White Sox media is not like the Marlins. Their are guys & gals in this town just waiting to pounce on a sound bite to put this team down. Kotek boy is definitely White Sox public enemy #1 when it comes to that. These are engrained Cub fans who work in the media. So they will not only look for such bites but they will likewise provoke them. However; they have bosses to & the White Sox are the best sports story in town right now. One that their bosses all want to ride deep into Oct. That tends to curb the vulture's behavior as well. We are all going to forget about this when Thomas makes his triumphant return & starts pounding in the runs. Teams won't be able to walk him like in the past with Pods & Iguchi-sama on base ahead of him. I've got a feeling that Thomas is going to be making a lot of headlines for the White Sox this year & Ozzie will be at no loss for words to praise him.
