TheChrisSamsa Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 From the most recent "White Sox Notes" on whitesox.com I sure as hell got a kick out of it. Final word: "Freddy can't hit anybody with his 84 mile-per-hour fastball. If he hits somebody, they're going to get on base, steal second and third and everything." -- Guillen, on Garcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 He made a funnier comment, IMO, concerning the HBP in the Sun-Times. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sside31.html As far as the conspiracy theory that Major League Baseball or the umpires ordered Young hit, Guillen could only laugh at first. ''[bleep] Major League Baseball,'' Guillen said. ''Like we're going to do something like that for them?'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ozzie has to be the best interview in baseball. Funny stuff. He could post here, if he wasn't so damn optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hits somebody, they're going to get on base, steal second and third and everything." -- Guillen, on Garcia Funny quote, but bad grammar. Using "they" or "them" to refer to a single person is incorrect usage. Ozzie should have said "he" instead of "they're". Something else that upsets me about grammar is my ignorance of where to put the period when quoting the final word in a sentence. Can someone explain the rules to me?

Agreed, and I'm usually lenient to non-native English speakers when it comes to grammar and accent. It's just a common mistake that many native English speakers believe is proper usage, and I took the opportunity to teach someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock4Life Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 period goes inside quote marks. and if you end a quote by saying who said it, you use a comma inside the quote marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take issue with the spelling of a word but Ozzie's improper use of a word, so I don't understand the point you're making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something else that upsets me about grammar is my ignorance of where to put the period when quoting the final word in a sentence. Can someone explain the rules to me? Ozzie said, "I have a lot of fun coaching this team." "I have a lot of fun coaching this team," Ozzie said. I don't have a problem with the first part actually. If the quote would have been "He" then one would ask who? By saying "they", the implication is or can be everyone, which is reality. I understand your complaint however.
