THIS Is Why We Love Ozzie Guillen

Ozzie Guillen got tossed last night after a little spat with umpire Joe West. Nothing really new, here people. But after the game, Ozzie had a few choice words for West, which made us giggle. Lots.

West has been known to be a little too big for his umpire britches, and some might say he's got it in for the Sox.

The Yankees offseason spending spree has officially hit ridiculous. And this isn't just the rabid anger of a disgruntled Sox fan. For the record, I was leery of the Teixiera signing to begin with. Mike Lowell is my favorite Red Sox, and he'd be on the chopping block if the Sox had signed him.
