I agree with him actually. Ozzie does get away with alot more stuff and lots of people say that reporters don't always print what he says because he would be in a boatload more of trouble. I have a feeling that whenever Ozzie starts losing, it'll go downhilll big time.

 

Mariotti, Padilla and another columnist from Chicago have said the same.

 

You know, Mariotti disagrees with you now.

Instead, (Baker) threw himself a pity party the other night. Baker said he is picked on by media and fans while Guillen is given a free pass for his explosive episodes. This couldn't be more inaccurate, remembering the scorched newsprint in this column when Guillen slurred Magglio Ordonez. Dusty doesn't want to hear it.

 

He thinks we're picking on him.

 

''Ozzie can say whatever he wants to say, and it's OK,'' Baker said. ''I don't have that right, that privilege. I'm not a homeboy yet. Ozzie's a homeboy. Am I right? Ozzie played here with his team. I don't have that privilege.''

 

No, being a ''homeboy'' has nothing to do with it. Sox fans love Guillen because his team has won 49 games and looks like a Series contender. Cubs fans are bummed out because their team has no continuity, Wood and Prior can't stay healthy and Hendry left the lineup short of a leadoff hitter and left fielder. If their seasons were reversed, Baker would be lauded for his cool and Ozzie would be ripped for his wackiness. Come on, Dusty. You know the game by now.

 

This is pretty much why i never use Mariotti as a source during an argument on a White Sox messageboard.

it's not that Dusty gets more grief than Ozzie, it's pretty equal. the thing is that Ozzie doesn't give a s*** what anyone thinks, he just says whatever he thinks and whatever happens happens.

Mariotti, Padilla and another columnist from Chicago have said the same.

 

Not sure about Mariotti (although I seriously doubt he would protect Ozzie) but I've heard Padilla call Phillips' claims rediculous.

I wonder what excuses Dusty is gonna use for todays game......

 

f*** YEA SOX....

 

 

thats the best use of that EVER

Dusty complained that his team could have used an extra day off yesterday. I knew it! I knew he would find some sort of excuse.

You just knew it was coming. :rolly

If the Sox take all three, Dusty is going to age 10 more years. He looks like such a pitiful dude when his team loses

Baker may get more grief, but it's because of his AAA players.

From SI.com

 

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen didn't understand why Baker was upset with him for saying that Jon Garland is having a better season than Prior earlier in the week. Baker claimed that Guillen gets away with inappropriate comments, and Guillen countered by saying before Friday's game: "I was making it clear Prior has a chance to be one of the best pitchers ever to wear that uniform. No matter where I manage, I will say what I feel. ... If people don't like it, good."

^^^exactly what my point was on the previous page.

Ozzie is famous because of that accent of his. This is his city so yes he is a homeboy!
