Marlins Manager Ozzie Guillen Returning To Miami To Apologize For Pro-Castro Comments

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, facing criticism over comments published last week in which he expressed admiration for Fidel Castro, says he intends to fly back to Miami to answer in person for his statements about the Cuban leader.
Meanwhile, Major League Baseball is reviewing the situation, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Guillen, speaking Monday in the Marlins dugout before their afternoon game against the Philadelphia Phillies, said he felt "guilty" and "embarrassed" and wants to address questions personally. He planned to return to Miami after Monday's game and speak at a 10:30 a.m. ET news conference on Tuesday at Marlins Park. "I want to make everything clear what's going on. Then people can see me and know what I think," Guillen said. "I think it's the proper thing so people can see my eyes and ask every question they want to ask. "I want to get the thing over with. I told the Marlins I want to fly [back] as soon as I can, and tomorrow's a day off," Guillen said. "I don't want to [talk about it] in Philadelphia. I want to be in Miami and clear everything up." Guillen also said he doesn't want to limit his appearance in Miami to the media.

He said he loves Fidel Castro??? While coaching in Miami?

WHy not go to Compton and profess your love for the KKK?

Someone needs to cut this idiot's vocal cords. His mouth always gets his butt in trouble.

 

his brain doesn't engage before speaking. as long as he wins there, he will be fine though.

 

I disagree Capt. those Cubans down there are pissed. He will probably lose hid job because of these idiotic statements.

 

1- ok, who is actually surprised by this ?

2- he will not lose his job for "these" comments but down the road he will wear out his welcome.

 

Marlins suspended Guillen for 5 games for these remarks.

Press conference in 10 mins.

 

to be continued ...

 

Screw Ozzie Guillen and heck Jose Reyes.




Yeah. That's the most people that will ever be outside of that stadium at once.

 

I think this is what the Marlins had to do

 

same here and once again the know nothing lemmings are crying about ozzie's 1st amendment rights being violated.

btw - can this be the official 2012 marlins thread ?

 

Should be...

 

Love the drama... :icon_smile:

Oz is one of the most transparent personalities out there. Any who didn't see this coming probably don't know a baseball's round either.
