... Ozzie Guillen's not apologizing for the display, but you can give that a day or two. Soon, Kenny Williams or Jerry Reinsdorf or somebody is going to come down to the locker room, pretend to give a really angry talk to Ozzie, and Ozzie will be forced to give a half-hearted apology. While we wait, I'm going to celebrate the brilliance of the White Sox, and the way they make this blogger's life way too easy. ...

It's probably not the best idea to have this kind of display out in the open when there's likely to be several reporters taking offense ... although there's probably many more who had no idea what was going on. Ozzie probably has it right: "I'm sure it wasn't done to disrespect ...

The Home Run put the finishing touches on the Blue Jays’ four-game sweep of the White Sox.  Something tells me that the White Sox bats might come alive after this road trip.  And it has nothing to do with Ozzie’s Guillen’s rant or the Blow-Up Doll Shrine the Sox had in the locker room before Monday’s game.
