I wanted to applaud Phil Cuzzi. He handled this with great professionalism. We all know that it is mostly a show when Ozzie starts jabbering. Phil did a good job.

Good article...

I think the telling lines are

"As soon as I know that he's going to be behind the plate, I know I'm going to be ejected," said Guillen. "You can have my bench coach handle this game because I know I'm going to be ejected."

Not that Ozzy has ever done anything to be EJ'd for...

I'd say this is just a self fulfilling prophecy.

I agree that Phil did a great job in handling the situation very professionally. I wrote a post on my own umpiring blog site about how I felt about he Guillen/Cuzzi situation. http://www.umpire.ca/?p=39

the thing is with the manager for the white sox is that he tends to be a little firery more often then he should I can say only that I have MLB umpires as fan at the astros games but they handle themselves with a unwavering amount of self control and that is why our friend Phil got the response that he did I was not there but I am now a member of this site and as a umpire Phil is a vet he did what he needed to do to make sure that the game was fairy and safely thank you umpire08
