guillenOZZIE GUILLEN IS GOING TO BE GIVEN A MICROPHONE FOR PRE- and POST-GAME INTERVIEWS!!!

That’s right, Ozzie Guillen, a manager who takes pleasure in talking about how he doesn’t say things behind a player’s back as he’s throwing them under the bus, has been chosen as the male, insane, profane counterpart to Erin Andrews during the World Series.  Even if you don’t like baseball (which makes you a flaming pile of douche) you have to be excited about this latest bit of theatricality.  As if the studio wasn’t already sucking Jeter’s cock, now they’ve added a man who said that Jeter is the kind of man he would want his daughter to marry.  By comparison he might start fisting Jeter during a meeting at the pitcher’s mound.

SI.COM has this to say:

Baseball fans, get ready for a bleeping interesting analyst. SI.com has learned that Ozzie Guillen, the colorful and occasionally profanity-laden manager of the White Sox, has been hired by Fox Sports to serve as a pre- and postgame analyst for the network’s World Series coverage. He will debut alongside Chris Rose, Eric Karros and Mark Grace on Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Guillen will also file reports for Fox Sports Espanol.

Does Chris Rose have a talent besides being a shorter, balder, slightly straighter version of Ryan Seacrest?  Eric Karros is alright I guess and Mark Grace is better for his off the cuff stories than for his color commentary.

But none of this matters.  I actually have no problem with the host, colorful manager, and two former player paradigm they have here.  Fox could have added a Spanish Language TV host, Cory Lidle, and Earl Weaver and it still wouldn’t matter because Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are their game anchors.  You can put lipstick on a pig by adding a crazy, fiery personality but it’s still a pig.
