Well, this is hardly surprising: something Ozzie Guillen said may land him in trouble. Guillen went on a verbal tirade following Sunday's brawl-filled game with the Royals, upset at being ejected in the fifth after umpire Tim Timmons decided that D.J. Carrasco was intentionally trying to hit Miguel Olivo. Guillen admitted that he's asked his pitchers to bean players in the past but denied doing it on Sunday, and then gave a not-so-subtle warning to the Royals, saying, "I signed a five-year deal with this club, and we're going to play Kansas City a lot."
The ironic thing is that Guillen was technically in the right -- the umpire crew chief eventually apologized to him after viewing the tape and realizing that Carrasco was simply erratic and not being a headhunter. But does being justifiably upset excuse what was said in anger? That's what the the league office is trying to decide.
According to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune, an MLB official confirmed that Guillen's comments are being investigated and that the skipper may face further discipline. It's possible that the commissioner's office will decide that the umpire's apology for ejecting Guillen will excuse everything Guillen did or said post-ejection, but I don't think it will.
Think about it: MLB just suspended Daniel Cabrera six games for throwing at Alex Rodriguez last week. How can they now turn a blind eye to Guillen admitting to ordering the very crime that Cabrera allegedly committed?
I know some people consider beaning a guy part of the game and I know it's an order that every manager has given at some time or another ... but giving the order and admitting it to the press are two completely different things. I'd expect Guillen to receive at least a game or two of unpaid vacation.
