Where we're tired of your double standards!!

  • Ozzie Guillen Is Tired of Your Double Standard - Generally speaking, compared to his first three seasons managing the White Sox, Ozzie Guillen has been very quiet this year. Sure, there was that incident on the radio back in May, but it's not like he's questioned the sexuality of anybody in the media this season. Well, it looks like Ozzie's gone the route of Popeye, because he's stood all he can stand and he can't stands no more. On Wednesday night he went off on his players, saying they were killing him, and on Thursday night he went after the media for their reaction to it.
  • Ron Washington Will Be in Arlington Until 2009 - It's not so obvious in the standings, but Ron Washington has done a pretty good job with what he has down in Arlington. The team got off to a horrible 23-42 start to the season, but the Rangers have gone 37-30 ever since. The players like Washington, and the front office likes him, so it's no surprise that the team has exercised their option to keep Washington through 2009.
  • On Deck: The Return of the Rotund One - Way back, in the long long ago, David Wells played for the San Diego Padres. It was August 2007, and the world was a funny place back then. People were walking around the streets playing with their iPhones, debating who was more Now, and most inexplicably, the Cubs were in first place. They were strange days my friend, very strange days indeed, and I'm just proud I survived. Now, just over three weeks later, Wells returns to San Diego to face his former team. In his only start as a Dodger, Wells lasted five innings and gave up two runs to pick up a victory. The Dodgers are currently riding a four game win streak, and have gotten back in the race in the NL West. The Padres send Jack Cassel to the bump, and I had never heard of Jack Cassel until I just typed his name over there. The reason Cassel is in there is because he was called up from Triple-A to fill a void in the Padres starting rotation. A void that was created by the departure of David Wells. See that? It all comes full circle man. It's life. The circle of life.

Ballhype: hype it up!
