Are we really going to do this the whole season?

 

We got what we wanted, he's gone.

 

Stop being like this.

 

 

If the Sox suck this year, there will be almost an equal amount of joy in watching the Cubs/Epstein and Marlins/Ozzie fail.

 

That's just the reality, take it for what it's worth.

 

By the way, since when is Mike Stanton now "Giancarlo" Stanton? Weird.

 

 

Story on the Ozzie ejection.

FORT MYERS -- Bobby Valentine was once in line for the Marlins’ managing position that eventually went to Ozzie Guillen. Whether it had anything to do with their high jinks on Monday is anyone’s guess.

 

But it added entertainment value to an otherwise ordinary spring training game.

 

It all started after Guillen was ejected in the sixth inning for disputing first-base umpire Tim Tschida’s call that Terry Tiffee’s soft tapper down the line was foul.

 

As Guillen was making his exit, Valentine smiled and gave a playful goodbye wave from the Boston Red Sox dugout.

“I said, ‘See ya,’ ” Valentine explained afterward.

 

Guillen said he didn’t see Valentine’s dismissive wave, but added: “I would have told him to go [expletive], too. That’s the way Ozzie Guillen is.”

 

It wasn’t the first time Guillen has been ejected from a spring training game.

 

“Few times,” Guillen said. “What’s the difference between spring training and during the season? I do my job. My job is to protect the player. My first-base coach told me the ball was fair. I got to believe him.”

 

With a runner at third, Guillen said the call cost his team a run.
