SWEET! anyone know what time (pacific) this show airs?

It's on a few times. It comes on Tuesday at 9:00 pm Chicago time, so that's 7:00 pacific I think, but then it gets rerun later, and if you get multiple HBO channels it's kinda all over, so, consult your local listings for times and stations, as they say.

I wonder if they will bring out his alter-ego "Scarface".

Jerry Manuel fasted before he interviewed for the White Sox's managerial job, believing it would sharpen his mind.

 

Ozzie Guillen played it a bit differently, as you might expect.

 

 

 

Guillen tells HBO's James Brown for the next edition of "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," premiering at 9 p.m. Tuesday, that the night before he met with general manager Ken Williams, he celebrated the Marlins' World Series victory with Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. Guillen had been Florida's third-base coach.

 

Brown: "Did you do a lot of reading? Rehearse your answers?"

 

Guillen: "No, I was hung over."

 

Brown: "You did what?"

 

Guillen: "I was hung over."

 

Brown: "No, you weren't."

 

Guillen: "Just because, we just win the World Series. I was at Pudge Rodriguez's house, and we had a party all night to celebrate the World Series."

 

Guillen might not talk about how he celebrated the Sox's World Series title, but he does hit on a variety of subjects.

 

On what makes a good manager: "Nobody's a good manager. Nobody. With all due respect, people forgot Joe Torre, he was a losing manager all his life until he got to New York. What's he got? Great players. Phil Jackson, it's a funny thing, we go, 'He's great.' You got Michael Jordan and you got Scottie Pippen … You're not good. You got good players."

 

On what makes the Sox so successful: "I got A.J. Pierzynski. Everybody hates him. Carl Everett? Everybody hates him. Ozzie Guillen? Everybody hates him. But all of a sudden, those guys put their uniform on, it's like one unit. I said, 'I don't care if you get along, but when you got the uniform on, you've got to take care of each other.'"

 

On speaking his mind: "I like trouble. Why not? A lot of people have their way to say stuff. I got my way. You know, all those little things about the game. People don't face it. Attack. Attack. I never take the first punch, never. Believe me, you throw me rocks, I'm gonna F-16 and just try to kill you. That's my style."

 

On the end of the road: "I like the smell of the ballpark. I like the sound of the bat. That's the way I grew up, since I was a baby. How many people have the opportunity to do what I do? I'm going to die doing this. I'm going to die on the field. I hope the day I die, I just like, go to the field and am gone. Game's over. Tomorrow's the funeral."

 

HBO also interviewed Williams, Paul Konerko and Ozzie's sons Ozzie Jr., Oney and Ozney.

I consider demeaning Spanish speaking people by phonetically spelling their attempts to speak English as offensive. You aren't the only that has been guilty of this so don't take it personally. I will take this course of action on any and all occasions that this occurs.

The great & powerful Oz:

"But I swear to God, you can put me in Harvard, you can put me in any college in the United States, and you ask me a question and I will answer. But you put Bill Gates in Caracas, Venezuela, and he will [bleep] his pants. He don't know what to do, he don't know what to say and he'll say, 'Get me out of here.''' :D

Anyone know who is doing the piece? Armen? Gumbel? Deford? Bastard Bernie Goldberg? Thats a wonderful program and they do great work so I'm sure it will be interesting even if its largely stuff we already know

 

Brown. I heard Ozzie admits he was hung over the day he went to interview for the managerial job. Classic.

Quick interview. 9:30 and it's already over.

 

Anything discussed which the papers didn't mention?

I missed the "F-16" quote, but he also said Bill Gates would "s*** his pants" if he was in Venezuela.

Gumble also said that Guillen is known for picking fights with guys like Magglio (no) and Thomas.

I don't know about Maggs, but they used to do it to Frank on purpose to motivate him. He played better mad, so they used to screw with him to piss him off. It wasn't a thing where they fought because they hated each other at all.
