An open letter to our favorite manager of all time, Mr. Ozzie Guillen.

by Joe Doyle on June 16, 2008

Dear Ozzie,

I’ve been a fan of yours since you were tagged out on first base with the old hidden ball trick. If memory serves me right, it happened to you again a week later.

Despite falling prey to such rookie high jinks, you’ve lead the Southside Hitmen to a World Series victory and several big wins over the dreaded northsiders.

Enter 2008, and both clubs are on top of the heap, with the boys in blue playing out of their heads. So I have some advice, Mr. Guillen:
look to the bench.

My favorite memories of our boys beating the Chubbies have nothing to do with AJ or Paulie and even Jermaine. I think of
Mike Caruso and Rob Mackowiak – two unassuming players on the fringe, who helped push the beloved Sox to glorious victory.

Speed is on your side against this club – their backstop has only caught 11 guys all year. So go for it. Put Paulie on the DL and get your Owens running, or have your Wise guy intimidate.

They’re hungry, and so are we.

GO SOX!

Yes. And please give him the home run swing again.

And make him better.

I don’t think Ozzie would appreciate you bringing up such a sore subject–hidden ball trick thing. You may want to butter him up if you want him to listen.

12 Joe Doyle 06.17.08 at 7:23 pm

I don’t really think Ozzie reads my blog.

But I have hopes.

13 Sis Kelly 06.17.08 at 8:31 pm
