Ozzie Guillen Quote For April

Guillen acknowledges [World Baseball Classic winner] Japan as world champion, since "they're the last one to win."

"But now," he says, "the Japanese people think they're good. Nah, they're not that good. Sorry."

"The [WBC] win was by the team that was prepared best. Japan and Cuba were better prepared than anyone else. They had more time to practice. The team was together a long time and the Cuban team knew it was going to play in the World Classic. But those two teams, they're not that good. They have maybe a couple players who are OK, but they play 162 games at this level, they might win 20 games.

"Ozzie talking shit again, huh?" [Yes, Ozzie said this.] "But that's the truth. I know a little bit about this game. They think they're good. They're great, they play good baseball, fundamental baseball. They play great for one week, two weeks. But if they come over here we'll kick their ass.

"They play 162 games here in any division, they'll finish last. I don't want Fidel to get cocky about this shit, either. They're not that good."

I can't understand it: how can anyone not like Ozzie Guillen?
