- You're the manager of the Miami Marilins. Your ballpark is in Little Havana. If you're in Chicago it's no big deal. If you're the manager of the - pmb Apr 10, 08:04 6
  - At best, his remarks are relevant to Cuban Americans of an advanced age. The younger Latin community isn't going to give a crap. -- nm - con_carne Apr 10, 08:12 1

    - Speaking directly to your comment, it's that big a deal for that reason, we don't need an "otherwise". -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 08:13 1

  - ahem, that was "Go f*ck yourself, San Diego!". - Diva Apr 10, 08:08
- It was for a Time.com interview - which I don't think is available for free. He said that plus he admires how long he has been in power - decline Apr 10, 07:51 11
  - Yeah, I had trouble finding the full comments too. Here's the part of the comments I was responding to. - Roger More Apr 10, 08:08

    - yeah, and it was in typical Ozzie fashion - a free flowing of english/spanish thoughts he just spews out - decline Apr 10, 07:57 5
      - youcan't. saythisstuff. inLittle. Havana. - Diva Apr 10, 08:09 3

      - The Marlins have 19 fans, I'd imagine some of them are Cuban. Can't offend large percents of the fanbase. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 08:04
  - he made similar comments in 2008 apparently as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 07:53 2
    - yeah, but the Cuban population in Chicago is hardly that in Miami. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:57 1
      - the fact he said it before though will make it much much harder for him to backtrack -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 08:06
- he admired his longevity. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:50
I actually understand what he was trying to say, but he failed miserably at it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:29 10
- this and you gotta know your audience. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 07:44 1
  - Exactly. He said about the same thing 4 years ago and it didn't raise a peep -- nm - amoxy Apr 10, 07:57
- I'd hate to have to make a subtle point in a language I wasn't fluent in. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 10, 07:36 4
  - Ozzie is only fluent in Ozzie-ese. I don't think it would have been more coherent in Spanish. - spamlet Apr 10, 07:41 3
    - good point. - Mel Profit Apr 10, 07:43 2
      - I loved him as our manager. Loved. - spamlet Apr 10, 08:07 1
        
        His last year, he kinda soured me a bit. - groiny Apr 10, 08:08
- it could make a funny Twitter meme, Ozzie's opinion on hated people in all major League Baseball cities -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 07:30 2
  - "I'm sorry for having a positive word to say about Castro. As my friend George Zimmerman says, you should never stop pursuing the proper course." -- nm - Ozzie Guillen Apr 10, 07:43 1
    - heh -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 07:45
