Ozzie being Ozzie!

I am a Cubs fan, so by default I hate Ozzie Guillen. He is loud, crude, and highly critical of Cubs fans. In fact most of the things he says go down in my book as the worthless meanderings of a man who talks too much. But if you spend that much time talking you are bound to say something that makes sense. Believe it or not Ozzie says something worth listening to every now and again, but hey even a broken clock is right twice a day. So what wisdom did this ridiculous big mouth bestow upon us this time. I will tell you!

If you haven't heard recently retired slugger, Sammy Sosa, tested positive for steroids during the anonymous test in 2003. Like the name of Alex Rodriguez, Sosa's name was leaked from this confidential list of players that tested positive during this test. Now I know that I, and most baseball fans I talked to, where not surprised by this revelation. Sosa was on that list of players with Bonds and McGwire, that we kinda figured was doing steroids.

Since this news broke Sosa has yet to deliver a statement. This is where Ozzie Guillen comes in. Ozzie was a teammate of Sosa's with the White Sox in 1989-90. He said that he hopes Sosa comes clean if the allegations are true. Guillen agrees with the rest of people who know sports saying, "some people are very heartbroken" but he finishes his quote by saying "..... admit it if you are guilty. People will forgive you. But when you admit it, [say it] like you mean it." This is such simple advice, but athletes just don't seem to get it. We as sports fans, especially now, are tired of the steroid nonsense and all we want to hear is that you did it and that you are sorry. You won't hear this very often but Ozzie was right.

The majority of the time Ozzie talks I wish he would shut up. But if he did we wouldn't hear the couple of things that he hits right on the head. Live like no one is watching, and selectively listen to Ozzie Guillen!
