If we know anything about Ozzie Guillen, it’s that he does not like playing second trombone to the Cubs in this great city. (A warranted, if not somewhat misguided stance.) But instead of jumping on the grave of the Cubs season yesterday, he (publically) opened up his heart to the team.

“Cubs fans shouldn’t forget how great this summer was for them,” Guillen said.

“You look at [the players'] faces and the way they talk, I feel for them. I went through it. I have friends over there, and I know how the people in this city are. The expectations were so high. I don’t know how they handled it. Am I happy or sad? No. I have a couple of friends there, and I know how badly they wanted to win it.”

Isn’t that special. He even sent a text of encouragement to Carlos Zambrano too.

HOWEVA, the New York Post reports Ozzie blurted: “Oh, [bleep] the Cubs!” to a Sox employee as he left the interview room.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
