What was my advice to Ozzie Guillen a couple of days ago?
Shut the fuck up for a week or so and give your brain a chance to catch up to your mouth.
And specifically about Ozzie's love for Fidel; this ain't a good career move, my friend.
Mind you, I love Fidel for exactly the same reason. Nine hundred and some documented CIA plots to assassinate the old commie windbag, and the fucker is still there!
How can you not love that?
But I can say it, Ozzie. You can't.
I don't coach a MLB team in South Florida. You do.
For fucks sakes Oz, turn the damned brain switch on...
The Marlins suspended Guillen for five games today.
Dude, you should listen to me!

Ozzie Guillen pulls back curtain on MLB; "I get drunk after every game!"
Hell, that's nothing; where I used to play hockey we got hammered before every game! And it's not that long ago that big-league baseball players sat in the dugout and knocked back the brewskies during their games!
That was then, of course, and this is now. The new puritan age. That's one of the qualities that make Guillen so endearing. Tells it like he thinks it is instead of how the thought police might like to hear it.
A few years ago he got himself into hot water by referring to an overly critical reporter as a fag. Guillen did the right thing; apologized to the gay community but not the reporter.
He is also well known for his views that illegal immigrants do most of the real work in America. Americans love lazy-ass jobs that involve sitting in front of computer screens doing strategic analyses of their companies' mission statements. Latinos who waded across the Rio Grande fix the cars, pour the concrete, plow the fields and pick the crops.
He may have a point.
Last week Ozzie was on a roll. First he tells a reporter how he loves to get drunk after every game, win or lose. You can admire the man's candor, but he really should slow down with the talk to give his brain a chance to catch up sometimes.
And he wasn't done yet. Couple of days later he's in trouble for professing his admiration of Fidel Castro. Watch out, Oz, you're in friggin' Florida now buddy! Home state of two million Cubans who hated Castro so much they floated across eighty miles of shark-infested ocean on inner tubes.
And you love Castro? Not a smart career move, my friend!
