Post game remarks from Ozzie. Yikes.

Those anger management classes are really paying off

_________________

MLB "Commissioner" Allan H. Selig will be placing a phone call to Ozzie after reading those remarks...I'm sure Boers & Bernstein will air the edited remarks of Ozzie's eruption after the Ranger's "Xfinity Feedback Zone Postgame Show" coming up...A fine is definitely forthcoming, and possibly a suspension for Mr. Guillen...

He'll get suspended for sure.

He's right though. There's a handful of umps (Joe West, Angel Hernandez are the worst. CB Bucknor is pretty bad too) that are total assholes and love nothing more than to steal the spotlight and throw somebody out of the game.

Thats exactly what Joe West did today.

I know that Ozzie won't be in the dugout for sure Friday night. His son Oney is graduating, and I believe bench coach Joey Cora will be filling out the lineup card for the second of four vs. the Drew Carey-looking Joe Maddon and the Rays in St. Petersburg, FL. I'll be as interested as anyone to find out how long Bud Bud will sit Mt. Guillen down in the wake of his Joe West tirade.

Seems like this was bound to happen sooner or later.

I bet he gets a 3 game suspension.

I bet the Sox win all 3 games.

The great umpire conspiracy continues.

You know it is only going to get better when Hawk rips the guy. Insisting on a suspension for the umpire is really going to help the Sox get the calls.

Maybe, for once, Hawk was right? I didnt even see the play and dont care to, but I know that Hawk spends more time on ripping umpires than maybe all the announcers I have ever heard in my life combined and if the Sox and Hawk dont think it gets back to those guys, then they are dumber than I thought they are....and I think Hawk is HUGE Idiot.

The Sox and Hawk should be looking in the mirror if they feel the umpires are against them, because it didnt just happen?

Every time they mention Angel Hernandez on tv I instinctively look up

I've always hated the fact that in situations like this people get fined for telling the truth. Umpires need to be called out and taken down a notch from the pedestals they place themselve on

If umpires are ever disciplined based on Joe West ejecting Ozzie & Mark Buehrle for those controversial balk calls in Cleveland's (Not So) Progressive Field, I don't think we ever know about it.

Isn't west the guy that bitched about the yanks and red sox taking too long to play a game and in response most of the players more less said he is an asshole who thinks he is the show on the field?

Fact is those games are always the longest in baseball. Maybe it is becuase they have more ads, but those are usually 4 hour games

Well if he hates long games, it sure as hell makes sense to eject the quickest working pitcher in MLB.

Does Joe West now supplant Hunter Wendlested as Ozzie's umpiring nemesis?

Both teams have a "work the count " philosophy and there's nothing wrong with that.

Of course there are more commercials, because despite what the Anti ESPN people wish, those two teams are far and away the biggest draw.


All of that is meaningless though, given that the pace of the game is completely controlled by...THE UMPIRES.

We'll always have Doug Eddings though ......

I never understood him complaining after the game. You're the ump. Don't give him time if you don't want to. Tell them to pick up the pace. Crying about it afterward didn't really make mych sense.

That said, West is terrible. I already hate the whole "showing up the umpire" philosophy as it is. But this dick takes it to another level. 3 games for Ozzie and something will probably happen behind the scenes to West...

Doug Eddings doesn't steal the spotlight like West, but he's a pretty poor ump as well.


Bruce Froemming was a "hey look at me" guy too for many, many years. Just ask Milt Pappas.

This is a weird situation for me, because I'm just as exhausted with ostentatious umpiring as I am with Ozzie Guillen. West should've taken time to explain the balk to Ozzie, but it's a moot point because irrespective of explanation Ozzie probably would've been like "AH AH AH FOOK YOU FOOKIN BOOSHIT DAS NAH RYE JOO MUFUCKER" and then we'd be right here anyway.
