FanHouse

For all his faults, no one's ever accused Ozzie Guillen of being anything but transparent and honest. Case in point: he's made his e-mail address (OzzieGuillen13@hotmail.com) public, and invites fans to e-mail him directly. As this is the internet, Guillen gets a ton of racist, xenophobic e-mail, stuff sent by that incredibly stupid vocal minority that give all the reasonable people out here a bad name.

He also gets fan mail, not least of which from the Chicago Tribune's Rick Morrissey, who did his best to anonymously get Guillen's goat via e-mail. Guess what? It worked:

Then I forgot about it. Four hours later, I checked my mail, and there it was. From: OzzieGuillen13@hotmail.com. I opened it.

You have to be stupid. Get a life, loser. I hope you have no kids. They have to be like you.

Zing! The conversation goes on like that, Ozzie trading barbs with this anonymous heckler, before Morrissey visits Guillen in the clubhouse and reveals his true nature. Naturally, Guillen laughs about it.

Of course, it seems weird that Morrissey would use a computer at all, given how much he seems to hate the wretched beasts. Computers are destroying baseball. What's to stop them from destroying emails about baseball? Food for thought, people.
