Vacation to Ozzie to Landon Donovan…That’s right!
Comments (8)
Sorry it has been a while since I have last blogged, but I was in California for a week, and I have been extremely busy catching up on work.
Going to Redondo Beach is a vacation that I look forward to EVERY year! Golfing, going to the beach and just relaxing makes the trip so worthwhile. Not to mention GREAT WEATHER!The trip was a random one this year to say the least. One day involved golfing for the Make A Wish Foundation and that same evening involved going to Hugh Heffner’s mansion for the Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts. I always say I am down to help charity, but that was a no brainer.
Later in the trip, my sister’s in-laws and I went golfing near Orange County. I was working on my swing on the driving range when a group of guys came up to my left. I took a long stare at one of them because of a possible resemblance I thought he had of someone. Sure enough, it was Landon Donovan of the LA Galaxy and US Men’s World Cup Soccer Team.
At any rate, I started reading some newspapers today, and see that Ozzie claims this could be his last year because he is fed up with everything…Ozzie, seriously!!!!
Grow up, and take criticism and just do your job.

Sox Opening Day Thoughts…
Comments (0)If you would have told me that the White Sox would score eight runs on Opening Day facing Indians starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia (5 runs off him), I would have said we were on our way to an easy win. I mean with Buerhle on the mound, who I would consider one of the more reliable pitchers, it should have been a given. However, like so many White Sox opening days, we started off on the wrong foot. Speaking of Buerhle, what happened today!!!??? SEVEN earned runs in 1 2/3 of an inning! The positives are that Jim Thome dropped two home runs–last time a White Sox player did that you ask??? Try cork-batted, steroid injecting, club house cancer Sammy Sosa in 1991. Another strong offensive statement was that every player besides CF Alexei Ramirez contributed to 13 hits.Thinking back to Opening Days, I remember in 1991 going to the Grand Opening of the ugliest ballpark ever constructed–then New Comiskey Park–and witnessing a 16-0 massacre. The only nice thing about that day you ask…missing school! So at least the White Sox were respectable today, and I can guarantee you one thing: Mark Buerhle’s 37.80 era will improve. SIDE NOTE: Ozzie Guillen is planning to hold an open forum discussion before every series. Not sure if I am digging this Phil Jackson zen-like approach. What happened to the old Ozzie of him being the dictator?
