Around SBN: Will the Cincinnati Reds Be the Surprise of 2009? Bar-right-arrows



Cabrera responds: 'If it happens again, I will call again'

"If it happens again, I will call again," Cabrera told the Tribune on Tuesday after declining to speak to the other beat reporters covering the White Sox. "I don't have to do it with other teams because they always had my back. They don't want to do it here, I can take care of my own business. If you have a problem with what I did, come to me and say something. Don't go to the media to send a message, because he didn't send any message.''

Cabrera was addressing his controversial decision to call the official scorer and complain about errors during two games this season, once at U.S. Cellular Field last Thursday and once at Toronto in early May. ...

Here is the Tribune article.

Cabrera

Continues to fan the flames. What an idiot. After Ozzie pretty much goes out of his way to cool the situation (Ozzie Guillen folks) this loudmouth says this. Def not a likeable guy.

Still though…

I don’t believe in chemistry having much of anything to do with winning and maybe a fight between Kong and Cabrera would do them both good. Just stay away from Pauli’s hand.

Kong?

I don’t see him getting involved

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

No way

Why would the “captain” get involved in a dispute?

He only gets involved when Kenny asks about trade deadline moves.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

ozzie
“I protect my players 100 per cent, and the reason I’ve been in trouble almost my whole career as a manager is because of that,” he said Wednesday. “I’m the worst guy about calling the scorekeeper. If we see something that’s unfair, we’ll make the call (up to the press box). We don’t mind doing it.”

Guillen would like to put the matter behind the team and focus on maintaining Chicago’s lead in the AL Central. He said his door is always open to any of his players.

“I’m not mad,” he said. “I wish he would have handled it better. If Cabrera thinks he’s not being protected, he’s wrong. I’m here for them. If he feels that way, he should let me know.”

Cabrera, a two-time Gold Glove winner, called the press box in Toronto on May 3 and again in Chicago on May 22 to protest errors. The calls were changed on both occasions.

“There’s nobody more vocal than Ozzie Guillen in baseball,” Guillen said. “That’s why I’ll take care of a player. I may be wrong or right, but I will give it my best shot. But to make a challenge, I have to feel certain I’m right. I won’t do it just to please a player.”
