Let the good times roll...
Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen will travel to Miami on Monday night and address the media and the people of the Cuban community regarding comments about Fidel Castro that he made in a Time Magazine article.
...
The Time Magazine article, which appeared online on Friday, begins by quoting Guillen as saying, "I love Fidel Castro," and then continues with further explanation.
"I respect Fidel Castro," Guillen said in the article. "You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [expletive] is still here."
...
The Miami Marlins released a statement Friday in response to the article.
"We are aware of the article," the team said. "There is nothing to respect about Fidel Casto. He is a brutal dictator who has caused unthinkable pain for more than 50 years. We live in a community filled with victims of this dictatorship, and the people in Cuba continue to suffer today."
...
Since the story was released, Guillen says he has not slept well for three nights.
"I have to wear it. I have to face it," he said. "I have to grab the bull by the horns. I will do it tomorrow. They asked me about media. I want the people there. Whoever feels like asking me a question, I will answer."
