Fan, thanks for the links.
Had to post this on NumberOneBaseball, about OZZIE:
I’m from Venezuela and I have tried to support Ozzie since his World Series title, i actually hated him before that, and like you guys say it is same old ozzy, so I’m back to my original position of not supporting something that gives MLB a bad name, no matter where it comes from. Most people in my country feel the same way about this guy and we feel, from time to time has gotten a free pass. Not anymore, please lets speak out against Ozzie, he might know baseball but he uses that to harm the game. Hope this is his last season.
Hey, I'm a huge fan of your blog, loved your article about Colby Rasmus.
I hear a lot of people saying "it's just Ozzie being Ozzie"...well that may slide for "Manny being Manny", but as a manager who was brought in to attract the Latin American community to games in Miami, it was almost as if he thought that with the new ballpark, the new excitement surrounding the players like Reyes, he could speak off the cuff without really thinking. And now his job is on the line.
