 Opinion: Baseball, Managers and Ozzie Guillen
Opinion: Baseball, Managers and Ozzie Guillen
Ozzie Guillen gets a bad rap with the Chicago and national media, but the fact is, he knows more about baseball than Jay Mariotti or Bud Selig. You may not agree with me, but keep in mind that the best managers in the game all act the same way - Guillen, Pinella, Sciosia, Leyland, LaRussa. It's no coincidence. Managers are much more important than the media would have you believe.

What if Fukudome had landed on South Side?
Kosuke Fukudome finally played a game at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday. Judging by some of the monstrous swings he took, it was a big day for him. Cubs manager Lou Piniella talked about Fukudome's balance and "textbook" swing the first time he saw him take batting practice in Mesa.
