1. Heard On FOX..........

when the game was over......Celebration in Caracas.

Burn!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

2. Guillen is a very proud Venezuelan.

When he held the championship trophy he said, "this is for Venezuela".
Chavez is also more on the ball. Guess who my bet is for?

[Gabi Hayes]

3. I heard that....it's what made me think of this

there was a little bit of a Chavez buzz when the clinched the pennant, but I hadn't heard anything til tonight

[madrchsod]

4. chavez

chavez started the heating oil,medical care program in chicago.plus no one in washington dc could understand ozzie!

[Gabi Hayes]

6. hahahahaaaaa...chicago, either

they were playing an interview of him on the radio and laughing at his imperceptability...very racist, actually

I could make more sense out what he was saying than bushboy

[Gabi Hayes]

5. they're interviewing Steve Perry, who sang that song the Sox adopted

something about believing

best thing on that was when they had some fans trying to sing along at a bar

he's singing with the interview bimbette, but she gave up

[Gabi Hayes]

7. just saw his son, who said...."at least we have the Venezuelan flag here"

you GO, sonny!

[opiate69]

8. Not only is GUillen Venezuelan..

but Freddy Garcia, the winning pitcher of game 4 is also Venezuelan... definitely a big night in Caracas.

[Gabi Hayes]

11. he fines players five hundred US for not standing at the top of dugout

steps for the US national anthem

[opiate69]

13. I didn't know that.. very cool of him.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. good PR, but there are other ways of seeing this

http://www.counterpunch.org/zirin05172005.html

I work in a school, and never, ever say the pledge


kids ask me why, and I say it's because we're a free country, and people died for us NOT to have to do it

some have started to refuse to say it now

[opiate69]

17. well, yeah..

but at the same time, I suppose the argument could be made that these guys are able to make obscene amounts of money, and have far better lives than they would if they didn't play here, so they should show some respect... I typically don't like forcing anyone to do anything, (and as an atheist and an anti-nationalist, the pledge is verboten for me) but I also admire sportsmanship and respect for the traditions of the sport.

[Gabi Hayes]

18. traditions like putting "under god" into the pledge?

that's some long standing tradition.....


don't mean to bum anybody's trip....I'm just googling around

I hate politicizing sports, almost as much as I hate politicizing criminals, heh

or is it the other way around?

I'm sure the pugpukes can/will have it both ways

meanwhile.....SOXXXXXXX RULE!!!!!

[oasis]

9. Hugo/Ozzie are heroes to the Venezuelan people. We can share Ozzie w/them.

:bounce:

[wndycty]

10. My boyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gabi Hayes]

12. put it on the boaaaarrrrrddddd .....YESSSS!!!!!

think the Hawk is hammered, or WHAT?

[Gabi Hayes]

15. uh oh time? I was afraid of this, from the Trib

Hugo Chavez, Part II

Tribune
Published October 13, 2005


Ozzie Guillen's recent appearance on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's radio show didn't go over well with those countrymen who interpreted it as an endorsement of the controversial leader. Guillen made an effort Wednesday to set the record straight.

"I like the man," he said. "I don't like his ideas, I don't like the way he is, and some misunderstand what I want to say, like they always do.

I feel good right now because I know my country is happy talking about baseball. They're not talking about politics or crime or what's happening in the country. What I say about Chavez, I say I like the man because he works hard, he says what's on his mind and he loves his country."
