Jose Guillen Smacktalking

by Rev Halofan on Mar 23, 2007 4:16 PM PDT in News Comment 27 comments

Looks like that nice hot cup of shutthefuckup will have to wait, as JOSE GUILLEN let it rip on the Angels at USA Today:

L I N K -to- S T O R Y

Then of course, he went out and let it rip on John Lackey, going three for three, a triple shy of the cycle, by the 4th inning.

Hope John was avoiding the better pitches toward a division rival.

Hope Brendan Donnelly fatally beans Guillen in Beantown or Redmond at some point this season.

Yes, I said fatal, I wish Guillen dead. It is not as bad as it sounds....

I'll take some credit for that one

Couple of weeks ago I told him he "represented everything that is wrong with baseball" as he walked by, and yelled "which team are you going to play for next year"

Everybody elsed just booed, but at least I got him to turn and acknowledge me.

C'mon pitchers, hit him please!

Next time

Ask him "when did you stop beating your wife?"

If I went to war and could only take one weapon, it would be an HK47.

In my opinion

I think we should attack him with hugs and candy grams.

A full court Barnabas attack.

CandyGram for Mongo

I'm surprised...

I was sure that if Blazing Saddles was going to be quoted on this blog it would be something along the lines of, "Excuse me while I whip this out".

Hey guys

he's a great person. Apparently he doesn't beat his wife. That makes him OK in my book.

No kidding

I'll take Tony LaRussa any day. I should clarify that I'm referring to Guillen's DUI line, not implying that LaRussa beats his wife (then again, not saying he doesn't either).

What's with the "I don't beat my wife" comment? What a dickwad. I love it when people think they can imply shit about people they don't like and feel immune because they aren't actually saying it in the "I'm the good guy" connotation. So what is he saying?- Scoscia beats his wife and since the rest of the Angels supported the suspension so they must be wife beating drug addicts too? Dipshit!

Didn't

Jose try to beat his manager when he was here?

by cupie on Mar 23, 2007 5:02 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

guillen

if memory serves he threw his helmet in the direction of scioscia, the clubhouse stuff is all a case of he said she said stuff, however if my shoddy memory is accurate there were reports of guillen having to be restrained.

but the point is he didn't beat his manager so he's the good guy.

what's with guys named guillen? except for carlos in detroit i am not fond of them.

retire number fifteen.

Is that what the story was?

I had heard that after he was yanked, chucked his helmet, and cussed out Sciosc' en Español -- he headed down the dugout steps while Sciosc' followed, then tried to land a haymaker before Sciosc' promptly smothered him.

Beating His Wife

Hutch, take a shower.

"Doesn't beat his wife anymore." is a trope that's older than Shakespeare.

And it was funny here.

trope? not to Jose

he isn't that clever. He is trying to bring up the point that there are other players out there that he thinks are much worse than him and by singling out the Angles as his "revenge team" he is trying to say that HE was the normal one and the guys on the Angels need to look at the selves in the mirror. I can see that in his choice of words loud and clear. The guy has been on like 9 teams in 9 years.

Poor Guillen he just wants a Home!!!!!!!!

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

I feel about as sorry for him...

as I did for poor Latrell Sprewell when he didn't want to win a title for the Timberwolves. Shoot he's got a family to feed.

guillen

"People have judged me wrong all my life."

If people judge you wrong ALL your life then something has got to be wrong with YOU. Jose, get a personality, grow up, stop acting like a 2 yr old..no come to think of it, my 2 yr old grandson is more mature. He was with NINE teams in NINE years??!?!?! Yeah, poor baby is misjudged!!! I say we greet him with nothing...no boos, no cheers, nada...just like nobody is there...indifference is the best way to treat him.

Today is THE day!!!! #300 for the FISH!!!!!!

Man, that poor batboy...

Guillen not ready to bury Mickey Hatcher

"Guillen walked slowly off the field and fired his batting helmet in Scioscia's direction, though Guillen said Friday he was throwing the helmet toward the batboy."

What'd he do? The poor bastard has enough trouble already coordinating his arms and legs while running back and forth to the dugout... Now this?

Also, I'll try and refrain from turning this into a self-indulgent treatise on why I actually do not dislike Jose Guillen, why I hate Frank Robinson more than, well, other stuff I really really hate a lot, and why I am still a little peeved with Mr. Shields for serving up a meatball to Guillen that silenced an entire stadium...

it was a good pitch

Shields threw a good pitch to Guillen, inside heat, dipshit turned on it and kissed it with the sweet spot.

Shields was tired and tentative for the next two months...

You know

I've apparently confused this with another high profile homerun of Shields' -- and I like Shields. Since I was at the game and yelling more wildly than a drunken downingrules at a University of Arizona softball game, emotions may have gotten the better of me.

But there seems to have been possibly a walk-off blast that Shields offered up later in the season after speeding up the fellow's bat, then coming back with something off-speed. I remember Shieldsy discussing this afterwards, so it was obviously a televised game I was watching.

Good call defending our man here though; do appreciate it.

Emotions might have gotten the best of Shields on Tuesday night, when the right-hander entered after Donnelly's ejection and gave up four runs -- two unearned -- in the eighth inning of a 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

"In my mind, I thought, they wanted Brendan out of the game, OK, I'm going to [stick it to them]," said Shields, Donnelly's closest friend on the team. "It didn't work out that way. I had a fire lit under me. I was [ticked] off that Brendan was called out."

Shields, however, did not object to Jose Guillen's reaction after the former Angel, who was suspended for the final eight games of last season because of insubordination, hit a tying two-run home run in the eighth. Guillen flipped his bat in the air and was yelling as he rounded the bases.

"I know he was screaming a little bit, but hey, he just hit a big home run against the team that suspended him last year, and he's an emotional guy," Shields said.

"I had no problem with it."

Hmmmmm, so he was "[ticked]" and wanted to "[stick it to them]"...
