    So Ozzie Guillen admires Fidel Castro??

    Nice quote.. guess the Marlins got what they wanted.. now a team with a new stadium and a shaky fan base has their strongest fanbase threatening a boycott...

    You can't make this stuff up 3 games into his Marlins career!!!

    He should definitely keep his out spoken comments relegated to baseball issues only. Of all the cities to make these comments, he would do it here.

    I admire his Cigars. Dominicans are alright, but there is something to a bona fide Cuban Cigar that is unmistakable.

    I also kinda think The Most Interesting Man in the World is a loose play on Fidel.

    So, if I admire Ozzie Guillen, then by the transitive property, do I admire Castro?

    I hope not...

    He won't be gone in two weeks... not after that large investment Miami made in him, unless they can find a way to fire him w/ cause and not pay him.

    The problem with this is that he pissed off the Miami Cuban fan base, which could easily make those seats empty. Colossal mistake for a team struggling to fill seats to have to deal with

    If things don't work out for him in Miami, Ozzie should look for work in the Cuban National Baseball System.

    I think it's hysterical that they geared this team in the offseason to bring in more Latin fans and their Latin coach turns around says this.

    I love Ozzie
    of all the managers I'd have drinks with, he'd be the one

    For all you haters, pull those vaginas out of your vaginas, what's wrong with you men?

    Classic example of having to be too politically incorrect

    I personally don't care what he does, however for a team doing all they can to scrape up whatever fans they can, he just pissed off the biggest fanbase in their own town.... LOL

    No problem with that.

    I'm not offended, but when you build a new stadium right in the middle of Little Havana and your manager says some dumb-shit comment about one of the most hated men down here --people get pissed. Not white people, most don't give two ***** about Castro, but the Cubans do and they just happen to be the folks that need to fill that new stadium in years to come.

    I'm not sure how he's going to spin this. In today's PC world, I think he's going to get fired -- I really do. It's not like he manages in Minnesota -- it's Miami. He couldn't have said a dumber thing if he'd tried.

    Fidel is a hero to all. He had made his land better for his people. Only if everyone could have his mindset , the world would be a better place. G*d Bless Fidel

    He has already admitted he is a fukking drunk... Blame his statement on the alcohol then take a 4week vacation (paid of course) in a detox/rehab place.

    he wont get fired that away...

    Shouldnt be suprising. Ozzie is from Venezuela whos president Chavez is his own form of communist. He is also partial to stalin jr there if my memory hasnt all gone by the wayside.

    Here's my question, did he offer this shit up free of charge during this interview or was he baited into it? I'm guessing they baited him into it somehow. I can't imagine he freely offers up a Fidel Castro reference in the middle of an interview w/out some sort of set-up from the interviewer. Ozzie is a dipshit, but I'm pretty sure this is another case of the media going after someone they knew they could get to say something stupid. Kudos.

    You're probably right, but if he's dumb enough to say what he said, he probably shouldn't have a very public job in Miami. Did you read the comments? It's not like it was a quick reference made in passing. You can't misconstrue those words.

    I don't know how you get baited into saying that unless you really mean it. What could be the set up question by the interviewer?
