AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES RIGHT NOW

Ozzie Guillen: The Miami Marlins are falling apart just as fast as they arrived.  Remember last year all the hype surrounding the new stadium and then the addition of Ozzie Gullen as manager? Then, they took away Mark Buehrle, a pitcher I really wanted in pinstripes.  And everyone else followed. But now, Heath Bell was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Marlins decided to fire Ozzie yesterday, read HERE.  Look, on paper the whole Miami rejuvenating thing felt great, but they need a lot more than Ozzie Guillen to attract fans, they need to actually win. Oh, and those uniforms are horrendous. Unless Tubbs and Crockett are owning that team, we need to move away from that look.  You know what would work for them and I am ashamed to even suggest it because I appreciate him always being a Yankee is Jorge Posada. You bring a smart baseball mind into Miami like Posada to manage and you attract a crowd and no doubt, you win, just saying.

Hunter Pence: It was the greatest slow motion video I have ever seen.  In Game 7 of the NLCS the other night, Hunter Pence hit the ball, the bat broke and the ball was hit 3 separate times and when it shot out to shortstop, it veered off into the outfield allowing 3 runs to score and allowing the Giants to pounce on the Cardinals and eventually win to move onto the World Series.  You have to see this video above, it’s wild.

David Ortiz: Looks like David Ortiz must have naked pictures of John Henry or something because the latest report HERE is the Red Sox just signed him to a 2 year deal.  I don’t get this one.  Has Ortiz really contributed to this team lately? Hey, we all know he’s a fan favorite and allegedly a really nice guys, cue the hug video:


But I have to tell you, I think the whole Big Papi thing is played out at this point, isn’t it? I mean, Bobby Valentine thinks so. In an interview on NBC Sports Network (HERE), Bobby said Ortiz "quit" on the Red Sox. He said Ortiz "came back after spending about six weeks on the disabled list and we thought it was only going to be a week. He got two hits the first two times up, drove in a couple runs; we were off to the races. Then he realized that this trade meant that we’re not going to run this race and we’re not even going to finish the race properly and he decided not to play anymore. I think at that time it was all downhill from there." Good old Bobby V, diarrhea of the mouth.

Carlton Fisk: It looks like Carlton Fisk was arrested on a DUI in Illinois. The report, HERE, says that he was driving in the middle of the road and when cops arrived, he was asleep at the wheel and there was a bottle of vodka in the car.  I don’t know the situation, but we hope everything is OK with Fisk. I hate hearing these types of stories.
