Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Jose Guillen Admits He Sucks

“Yes, I suck.” LINK to STORY

Guillen carries a .243 average into today’s doubleheader against the Los Angeles Angels at Kauffman Stadium. He also had just nine homers and 37 RBIs in 76 games.

Just last week I was wondering where our old friend Jose Guillen was playing this year but was too lazy to look it up. I ran across this article this morning when I was checking the Kansas City Star's Sports section for a report on today's games.

"I'm embarrased to make the money that I'm making"

That makes him a good person, or at least better than we give him credit for.

When Tex was sucking, he didn’t say anything like this. He just saw $$, and thought “OOOOOOOHHHHHH I don’t even have to play well, and I still get money! YAY!”

Meh, this probably won’t go over too well…..except for the Tex part XD

I guess I don't understand the Tex part at all

He, a notorious slow starter, started slowly. Then he started putting balls over fences.

I get it..........and I like Guillen More than Tex even though everyone thinks he's a @##$%^$#

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And all the sports networks went apeshit over that.

Talking about his batting average like, “And he even performs great under pressure.” What a crock.

This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

Actually, it was nearly instantaneous.

The post time listed above is really when I started trying to decide if this was a fan post or a fan shot.

Embarrassed by making that kind of money?

I think this is a good time to establish a foundation and endow it with the salary from 2009 which embarrasses you so. It could provide a tremendous gift to tens of thousands of poor in the KC area, and it would take that burden off your conscience.

Win-win.

Just do it.

The guy STILL owes a specific apology to Scioscia...

…and a general apology to the Angels organization.

I know he acknowledged a couple of years ago that Scioscia is a good manager. But he never apologized for the way he responded after being lifted for a pinch hitter. He owes an apology to Scioscia for that behavior.

He owes an apology to the organization because he really hurt the team’s chances in the ’05 playoffs.

by sothball on Jul 21, 2009 4:10 PM PDT reply actions  

And then he continued to violate the sanctity of the clubhouse by having Frank Robinson pull Donnelly’s glove during that Nats-Halos game in 2006. That was the end of Donkey as he was never the same after that day, IIRC.

I love this team.

by Downing Rules on Jul 21, 2009 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

Fogot about that until your comment...

…that incident nearly started a fight between Robinson & Scioscia. And Guillen was trying to go after Mike.

Guillen…he’s a turd less the blossom.

Lackey’s face was the one I remember the best. He was pissed.

Violate the sanctity of the clubhouse

Code phrase for: “He exposed a cheater on our hometown team.”

Or is Kendry perhaps the one who needs to sit?

by BBFan1 on Jul 21, 2009 9:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree

and I rather dislike Donnelly, but at worst, he did something about 80% of major league pitchers can be accused of also doing at some point or another.

Not that it wasn’t against the rules and he shouldn’t be punished, but he did far worse things to cheat…like PEDs.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Jul 21, 2009 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Thank you Jose

I still say his tenure here has set the team up for success as long as Soth is in charge.

No one will dare mouth off or complain about their role on THIS team.

He both sucks AND blows—he’s a physical impossibility (and a serious a-hole).

Don't hate him too much

I mean without the guy, we wouldn’t have Izturis and Rivera on the team now.

by turs12 on Jul 21, 2009 10:29 PM PDT reply actions  

I liked him on the Angels

When he was Robin to Vlad’s Batman, not when he went Dominican Psycho in clubhouse.

Or is Kendry perhaps the one who needs to sit?

by BBFan1 on Jul 21, 2009 10:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

That trade looks a genius move by Stoneman in retrospect

Although I wasn’t sure at the time. Rivera alone would have been worth it, but to get Maicer too was a brilliant stroke.

Don't call me Desmond

by highlandhalo on Jul 22, 2009 6:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

Think about how the trade would have looked...

last season, if Rivera had never broken his leg.

On the other hand, we might not have been able to afford him as a free agent.

Jose Guillen...You complete me.

He gave us Izzy and Jonny, and Sosh used his head to carve the “team first” culture into a block of stone.

You love to hate him (and he let’s you make up words like doucheturd.)

Just giving The Clyde a heads up. In his post he made THE mistake that ticks you off.

P.S. – good luck with that whole jury duty thing. Once you get empaneled you get placed on what they call “the wheel”, meaning that you are a preferred customer with frequent flyer privileges.

This is my third time I've been called , and the third time they chose me.

I wasn’t in the first group of 20 potential jurors seated, but they kicked off so many that they go to me. I’m juror #3. It’s projected to last 8 day, today being Day 1.

I was in a cattle call once. About 200 of us.

I waited all day in the jury lounge until there were only 15 left. At about 3:00 I was called in with 9 others. the final 5 were excused from J.D. altogether.

I go in and there is one spot left, with alternate spots left. 10 of us to fill 4 spots. By this time the judge is furious and not taking any tales. the last jury spot gets filled immediately. 9 of us left for 3 spots. Then 8. Then 7. Then 6. I don’t recall what exactly what happened in the remaining sequence of events, but I was #9 called, and #3 alternate seated.

It was a 5 day trial. Child molesting. Brutal. All evidence presented and the jury goes into deliberation. The alternates go home. I get a call about 2 hours later from the court clerk. “Guilty. Thanks for your time”. All that and I didn’t even get to do anything.

You added an apostrophe to the word "lets" so that it spelled "let's".

The apostrophe has two uses:

To show possession: That is Katie’s boyfriend
To take the place of a letter to make two words into a contraction: let’s = let us. Isn’t = is not.,

Repeat and rinse.

There are little blue pills for those.

But heed the warning label. Superlatives lasting longer than 4 hours are a sign of stanza, and patient should seek immediate interjections.

he was sent to the hospital tonight during the game with “leg pain.” Even though I’ve booed you in the past, I hope you get well, Jose. Get back on the field so our beloved Halos can beat you again.
