Awesome:

"Teams have proven they can win on the road. You look at the past couple of Super Bowls -- New England beat us when they came here; Carolina, they went on the road and they ended up going. You ever see Rocky IV when he goes to Russia?"

Q: Is it just me or is Ozzie Guillen some sort of next generation Tony Montana? The first time I saw him lose it in a press conference I thought I was watching a test scene for "Scarface 2: Back in the Minors." When Frank Thomas eventually goes down with his yearly injury can't you totally see a bug-eyed Ozzie standing over his bedside snarling: "I can't even have a kid with you! Your womb, is so, polluted!" And what happens when the Sox start to slump in the second half? Does Ozzie slide completely into the role of Tony and eventually kill most of the Twins before finally having his throat cut from behind by Jacque Vaughn?

SG: I actually thought Jose Guillen sounded exactly like Tony Montana when he was calling Mike Scioscia a piece of garbage after Wednesday's game. I kept expecting him to start screaming, "[Bleep] the [bleeping] Diaz brothers!" These are the kinds of things they should be figuring out on "Baseball Tonight" – which baseball player or manager sounds the most like Tony Montana. And while we're on the subject, can you imagine if 69-year-old Frank Robinson had decked Scioscia? That would have dwarfed every baseball fight that ever happened – Nolan Ryan would have to find Robin Ventura at a baseball card show and beat him into a bloody pulp just to take his title back.
By the way, I am still hoping to find some video footage to download of that whole incident where Nolan Ryan beats the tar out of Robin Ventura.
