Instead of going into detail about last night’s butt-whipping the Sox gave the Cards, I will be respectful of Arch’s turf here and look into OOHMA (Ozzie Opening His Mouth Again).
Greg Couch has the story.
Now, I dislike Mariotti as much as the next man (this is the jackass column he wrote about the Sean Tracy incident), but you have to control yourself Ozzie, you’re giving the White Sox PR guys heartburn.
It’s good to stick up for your players and your obviously not running for anything, but stuff like this ends up hurting people, distracts from the good ink the team should get AND worst of all probably brings a smile to Marriotti’s face since he gets attention.
Anyone ever see the Simpsons episode where they ignored the commercial advertisement monsters to make them go away? Ignore him Ozzie and you’ll make him irrelevant.
Update: I should have clicked through a few more spots on the RSS reader. More talk from South Side Sox here.

Score Treehouse of Horror VI for two references on ArchPundit!
Oh, and Ozzie’s gum-flappin’ notwithstanding…
20-6. Twenty to six. Every player hit safely in the third. Ouch.
I’ll be dammed, maybe that was why the reference was so fresh in my mind.
Thanks!
