Quotes...

"If there was a major league player who tells me he's not selfish, he's lying. Everyone is selfish about numbers, because that's the only thing people cannot lie about," said Cabrera, who won a Gold Glove in 2001 and last season. "That's it. It's not a big deal. I don't know who's trying to make this a big deal. Maybe it's the media, maybe it's the manager. And nobody is complaining about that stuff. Nobody cares about that."

I think that Orlando Cabrera is full of crap. The best part of this story (linked above) is that Kenny Williams and Ozzie Guillen both agree that one of the skipper's major flaws is standing up too much for his players. And if Ozzie, a former shortstop, doesn't think that errors made by a .246 hitting shortstop are important, well, I think he's a lot smarter than Jay Marriotti thinks.

"Too many babies here," Guillen stormed while seated in front of his locker and spicing his language with obscenity. "They don't know how to play the game and win the game right, the way it's supposed to be played. And that's the problem here. Now I know why this organization's been losing for a while. Now I know."

But, gee whiz, Jose, seems like you're actually making sense. Add to the above quote a rousing defense of Skipper Trey Hillman and quite frankly, I'm impressed.
