Ozzie Guillen says he loves Castro and respects and likes Hugo Chavez. Marlins denounce Castro.

This might be an issue in Miami. Not a lot of love for those dictators for life in Miami.

Ozzie apologizes. Said he initially meant he respected the guy because people have been trying to kill him for 60 years but havent been able to.

Now Ozzie has denounced him as a dictator.

Ozzie is an idiot and nothing he says is of any value other than entertainment.

I've never understood why some like Guillen so much. I know people like guys who speak their mind, but when 90% of what you say is idiotic I'd rather you just keep you mouth shut.

LOL-nailed it.

What a maroon!

Remember, Ozzie is from Venezuela. Dictators, Socialists and Communists do have their supporters in places like Venezuela and Cuba. He's being called back to Miami and with a Cuban-American group boycotting Marlins games until he's fired, I can see things ending for him shortly.

There's really no excuse for saying something that stupid if you're Ozzie. Of course, when I read it, I thought it sounded like a really bad joke, but that really doesn't make saying it any less stupid.

His lack of understanding of the Marlins' market is shocking.

Thats the way I took it too.

I love Castro too, but the thing is, Ozzie is just dumb. He doesn't really love Castro, he just loves running his mouth.

You would think he of all people might have a understanding of the Latin American market in Florida. It actually is shocking.

Damn, Fidel is like Hitler to that community down there.

It's hard not to talk about this without getting into a heated political debate which is exactly why Ozzie shouldn't go there.

[Can_of_corn]

I'm guessing most of the people claiming to hate Castro don't even know why they hate him. It's hard not to talk about this without getting into a heated political debate which is exactly why Ozzie shouldn't go there.

They know why in Miami.
