It's Always Greener ...


So after the Royals have started playing like well ... the Royals, Jose Guillen is finally being well ... Jose Guillen. He was a clubhouse nuisance in Cincinatti and Washington, but magically, he was fine in Seattle. Hmmm, let's look at the difference. Cincinatti and Washington suck, and Seattle somehow played well last season. This offseason, Guillen could have stayed in Seattle, but chose more money to go to K.C. Now, he wouldn't be any happier in Seattle, but he may have made more of a difference there. Anyway, after last night's abysmal performance by the Royals, Guillen called out his teammates and called them "babies". Now, who's the baby? He's the one griping and sulking that they're not winning. He's the one unnecessarily calling out his teammates to the media when he should be talking face-to-face to them if he believes they aren't playing hard enough. Why do players consider it a good thing to talk to the media when they blow things out of proportion, misquote to fit their needs, and spread everything you say in order to get the best headline. Dumb.
