For one thing, the profanities come through loud and clear but his speedy broken English can be hard to pick up at times. For another, once you figure out what Guillen is saying, it can be downright outlandish.

Mike Harrington
Updated: 05/04/08 11:02 AM

CLEVELAND — We’re a month into the season and Hank Steinbrenner looks like he’s way ahead in the I-told-you-so department over Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman. How different would the Yankees’ season look right now if they had pulled the trigger on the Johan Santana deal over the winter? How much better might the outlook be if Cashman, Joe Girardi and Co. would come to their senses and make Joba Chamberlain a starter like Hank wants them to?

Thomas won’t be missed by Jays
Mike Harrington
Updated: 04/27/08 8:54 AM

The Frank Thomas affair is certainly a sordid one in the history of the Toronto Blue Jays. Was it about the Jays getting out of his $10 million option for next year? Of course. Money is the root of just about every decision but Thomas was hitting .167 in the middle of a lineup that’s woefully underachieving. The far bigger issue is the Jays need to win now.
