Guillen: Watching team hurts my head
Share This Story
MIAMI (AP)
The Miami Marlins' first win in their new ballpark lasted 11 innings, took nearly four hours and made Ozzie Guillen's head hurt.
Interim manager Joey Cora said Saturday he talked after the victory to Guillen, who is serving a five-game suspension and wasn't at the ballpark.
''He said he had a headache watching the game — 11 innings, and nothing he could do about it,'' Cora said. ''He sounded better. It's tough on him not to be here with the guys, especially with a new team and the excitement that has been around this team all winter and spring. He wants to be here badly.''
Guillen was suspended by the team five games into his tenure as Marlins manager after his praise of Fidel Castro in a magazine interview angered many Cuban Americans in South Florida. He apologized repeatedly during an emotional news conference this week.
The Marlins' victory Friday over Houston was their first in three games since Guillen was suspended. He'll return Tuesday for the start of a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs that concludes the team's homestand.
The reception Guillen receives will provide a gauge of any lingering animosity.
''He's looking forward to being here Tuesday, and whatever happens, happens,'' Cora said. ''He hasn't been in the new ballpark that much. He's got a new toy and he can't play with it yet. Starting Tuesday, he's going to get to play three games in a row.''
The victory Friday was Cora's first as interim manager. When asked if Guillen agreed with all of his moves, Cora smiled.
''We won the game,'' he said, ''so it doesn't matter.''
