V for Vendetta

Ozzie Guillen swears that Phil Cuzzi, the home plate umpire at the Sox home opener has a vendetta against him. He flew out of the dugout in the 3rd inning to argue balls and strikes and ended up getting tossed. Of course. Arguing balls and strikes pisses any ump off. No vendetta necessary. This is a little too much Ozzie if you ask me. Though I do enjoy hearing him rant angrily from time to time.

I was saying Boo-uehrle
Using the postponement of yesterday’s game (quite pissed as I have tickets for that and the reschedule is a day game) as an opportunity for some shuffling. The starting rotation has been jumbled a bit so that Mark Buehrle can get a couple of lefty lefty matchup heavy starts. I like it!


Mmm...Food
Prince Fielder has been in somewhat of a slump this year, with 0 home runs and going 0-11 in a series against the Reds. This spring he announced that he had become a vegetarian and apparently the fans in Milwaukee want him to eat a burger to change his luck. I don’t blame them really. A man that obviously loves the good stuff more than most couldn’t possibly give it up without a little separation anxiety. It may take a year for him to recover mentally from this one. It’s like Tommy John surgery for the overweight hitter types.
