Si naciste en los E.U., No es Dominicano!?


Ustedes Pueden creer esta vaina? Oye la tiraera de Ozzie Guillen a Alex Rodriguez!
Ozzie Guillen Apologizes to A-Rod By RICK GANO, AP Sports Writer Feb. 17th TUCSON, Ariz. -- During his two seasons as manager of the Chicago White Sox, Ozzie Guillen has fired off opinions and profanity-filled declarations on a variety of topics and personalities.
On Friday, he added a rare offering to his repertoire -- an apology. In the SI article, which was centered mainly around Guillen's visit to a Venezuelan prison, the manager gave his opinion on several subjects, including Rodriguez's decision on which team to play for in the WBC. Rodriguez was born in the United States but his parents are Dominican. So he had a choice. He first thought he would play for the Dominican Republic, then he was not going to play at all before finally deciding to participate with Team USA."He knew he wasn't going to play for the Dominicans. He's not a Dominican. I hate hypocrites. He's full of (bleep)," Guillen said in the article. Guillen tried to explain his remarks Friday. "I don't call him a hypocrite in that way. Alex is not a hypocrite. I was just trying to say he doesn't have to please people. He doesn't have to make people from the United States or from the Dominican Republic or from Venezuela happy. When you do that, you sound like you are a hypocrite. You say, 'Hey I want to play for the United States and that's the team I belong on,' move on and that's it."

Guillen said he didn't want Rodriguez to have to deal with the issue at spring training when he reports and would call him, if necessary. "I apologize to Alex Rodriguez, his family, his fans, the New York Yankee organization, to the White Sox organization," Guillen said. "That's the first time I feel like I did something wrong. I've been in a lot of controversial things before, but I think I started this one and I'm going to finish it. ... What I did to Alex was wrong. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to play for Japan, fine for him." Guillen also had a comment in the SI article about Nomar Garciaparra, who decided not to play for Mexico.

    Lol! Thank's for dropping by and voicing your opinion. It would've been cool to see him in the RD team, but oh well.

    Osiris,

    No hay de queso, solo de papa!! En los ojos de muchos dominicanos Alex es traicionero por no ir se a R.D. Para decir la verdad, me desencante a oir que Alex no jugo con el equipo de Rep. Dom. a pesar de todo yo creo que Alex todavia es un pelotero bueno. Que creen??
