Ozzie Guillen rips Nomah and A-Rod.

[cssmall]

In an interesting twist to this whole WBC thing, I feel it somewhat interesting for Guillen to lash out at Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garicaparra. But, I think that his comments have some validity. Here's two snips from ESPN.

"Alex was kissing Latino people's asses," Guillen, who's from Venezuela, said in the most recent issue of Sports Illustrated. "He knew he wasn't going to play for the Dominicans; he's not a Dominican!"

"I hate hypocrites: He's full of ," Guillen told Sports Illustrated. "The Dominican team doesn't need his ass. It's the same with Garciaparra playing for Mexico. Garciaparra only knows Cancun because he went to visit."

I realize he just changed his citizenship to the US, but. . . what do you make of these quotes. I see it as this: he grew up in Venezuela, whereas A-Rod and Nomar grew up in the states.

PayRod is only out for himself.

5. I have to say I don't get his deal with Nomar

I like Nomar too. His younger brother is in the Mariner's organization.

4. If Hunter S Thompson was still alive, he would be sent to cover Guillen

And the story would've been up there with LOTR.

6. I'm a Yankee fan and I don't care for A-Rod...

...and naturally I don't care for Nomar, either.
