    Steinbrenner tells Ozzie to STFU

    you tell'um boss.

    Steinbrenner unhappy with Guillen comments

    February 18, 2006

    TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- George Steinbrenner wants Ozzie Guillen to zip his lips.

    The New York Yankees owner didn't appreciate a shot the Chicago White Sox manager took at Alex Rodriguez, remarks Guillen later apologized for.


    "Shut it up," Steinbrenner said Saturday, moving his hands across his lips in a zipper move. "I like Ozzie Guillen as a manager, but I don't like him when he pops off like that," the Boss said, following with a profanity.

    Guillen criticized Rodriguez for saying he would play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, then switching to the United States. Rodriguez was born in the United States but his parents are Dominican.

    After making the critical remarks to Sports Illustrated, Guillen apologized Friday.

    Steinbrenner didn't think Rodriguez would be bothered by the remark.

    "When he gets with the team here, it will be fine. Count on A-Rod," Steinbrenner said.

    Steinbrenner sat at the batting cage with manager Joe Torre toward the end of Saturday's workout

    He put his own foot in his mouth, when he said AROD was born in the US.

    Just because his parents werent, he should not play for a team he was born in? Im glad George told him to STFU.

    Much better.

    I am not disgusted. Remember the White Sox are the current champions.

    I would never do that (unless there is a rematch of the series).
