Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen apologized on Saturday for telling a magazine he loves Fidel Castro, a comment that prompted the team to issue a statement denouncing the Cuban dictator.


"I will apologize if I hurt somebody's feelings, or I hurt somebody's thought," Guillen told the writers. "I want them to know I'm against everything 100 percent -- I repeat it again -- the way this man (been) treating people for the last 60 years."


That's our Ozzie.

What a dumb fuck.

When did Baseball Reference start putting links to players' twitter page on their BR page?

They're half incredible, half creepy. The best ones I've seen of something like this is the old Aud in Buffalo. Those are some creepy ones.

I dunno, seems like they're sitting on some lost revenue there. Nolan Ryan's locker FFS. Or is the houston fanbase indifferent to stuff like that?

Former major-leaguer Vladimir Guerrero says he has turned himself over to police in the Dominican Republic after reportedly being involved in a scuffle with a police officer in a disco.

In a phone interview with The Associated Press, Guerrero denied he was involved in any attack.

A spokesman for the police in the Dominican Republic, Maximo Baez Aybar, said no charges have been filed against Guerrero. Baez Aybar, however, maintained that Guerrero was involved in a ''physical'' encounter with police officer Renato Pena Rojas.

I had a physical last Monday. Got me an anti-Shingles shot. Never knew there was such a thing. It's not a cure but it reduces the chance you contract the disease.

pretty impressive "top" 4 highest babip's for starting pitchers right now.
cole leads the way (of course), followed by johnson, haren, and linecum. sabathia is 9th. the other 4 have era's even uglier than cole's.

Does anyone play Beat the Streak on MLB.com? Pick a player to get a hit each day and try to build a streak. This season, you can choose to pick 2 in a given day, but if either one of them fails to get a hit, you go back to zero.
