Francona called Ozzie before the game today. He left a message, Ozzie hasn't heard the message yet. He has possibly asked him.
June 22, 200520 yr Author NEW YORK -- Detroit's Alan Trammell and Oakland's Ken Macha were selected as coaches Wednesday for the American League in next month's All-Star Game by Boston manager Terry Francona. San Francisco's Felipe Alou and Milwaukee's Ned Yost were picked as the NL coaches by St. Louis manager Tony La Russa.

June 22, 200520 yr Ozzie has already said he would not be going even if invited....he has to settle his citizenship paperwork over that weekend

June 22, 200520 yr Maybe he could help out in the late innings for relieve pitcher advice, or handling the media

June 23, 200520 yr 46.5 The number of combined games all 4 extra coaches teams are out of first place
June 23, 200520 yr I can't blame his choices: Trammel is a gimme since the game is at Detroit. Additionally, Francona coached Trammel at some point. Macha gave him a chance as a Bench Coach spot after he did pretty poorly managing the Phillies. Basically, Macha gets it out of gratitude. It's nice to see a guy that remembers the people who helped him out on the way up. Not having Ozzie in there isn't a big deal, since he'll probably get AL Manager of the Year (and will get MLB MOTY if the media favorite Frank Robinson falters) if the Sox keep it up.

June 23, 200520 yr It's funny how being in 1st place has changed my attitude about the All Star game. In the past, I would have wanted as many Sox player to get voted in and get some game time. This year, I think I'd rather have them stay home, not risk injury and rest. We have bigger fish to fry.
