Thomas -- WRKO Tom off. One more day I believe. Have you heard this story out of Florida. So what they used to be the Florida Marlins they're now the Miami Marlins. The idea to make the team a little more our local making it seem like it belongs to Miami. To try to build more fan base there and I guess they brought in this coach there's manager Ozzie Guillen. With the same idea. To try to spark a little excitement in the community. About old -- having an Hispanic coach and and the huge could Cuban population there may be latching onto the team so many practice and doesn't interview. And says that he loves Fidel Castro. And that's just about every -- I don't know if you could safely walk through Miami with a T shirt. That had anything vaguely positive about Fidel Castro on it because some neither the core. Angst of the Cuban population of Florida has to do with Fidel Castro in that they can't be in their homeland. Because he's ruined the country and runs this brutal Communist regime. So -- -- dig Guinness had to go back to town and and try to remedy the situation. By making statements about one out bad guy Fidel Castro is. Apparently it's really bad what is going to be the backlash down there well -- you -- he's in Texas -- are. I have Miami though -- Coke -- and road that's on the road you actually had the fly back after the game because of press conference via telephone satellite wasn't good enough. Yes yes -- addressed people person. Well they wanna know ladies I mean they basically this could. Ruin his career in Miami and forecasts are right he's been their to the justices are ads are screwing up that the French you know you remember the franchisees to be the Florida. -- right so they decided to shrink it down to Miami become more for community based team and then. Kind of tap into that Cuban Spanish market that is so huge in Miami yes and this guys is completely ruined the entire wanted to -- -- grocery part of the market was us and our backs Ireland holds back fights it's really bad. What's beyond. What's the message here. I don't know it except that maybe people were a little crazy. About how much they react to a single statement. That is I think the state was they went out there are taxed as well as to what he -- but he's claiming he's claiming he didn't mean that he loves them he means that respects the fact he's been able stay in power. Felon but if you're respect somebody for being ruthless and managing the hand of power for. For fifty years or however long it's been you don't -- loved them. I mean that's I mean it's a torturous choice of words but he wasn't -- he wasn't expressing his love for VP -- tee shot Heidi you know. This sort of set and I believe. He also -- that I love. Fidel Castro and set I respect Fidel Castro and any -- you know why many people try to kill him in the last sixty years but the SOB is still there. Our dad mitigates a little bit. But it's a very intriguing thing to hear somebody talking like this especially at Miami. And then when his job is on some old to be a PR guy. If he's there to help build a local clientele. He should be hyper consciousness. -- cost conscious of -- on the issues haven't you could Fidel because he's like the most. Important character I am -- I'm I'm surprised it didn't click when they entire reporter was asking him about Fidel Castro and the reason they were asking him because he coaches in Miami coaches and. The baseball team also if you're aware of what your role is on a PR level that's an exciting opportunity. To go believe -- then you say okay this a softball down the middle forming. -- yet to. Hit a home run on a Fidel -- question that the locals are gonna love. And instead ZE. Were the hits into a triple play Michael -- are you good morning. Good morning cup of our idea of doing well. I got what about a couple of college long. Ozzie Guillen is a very controversial figure and he's not afraid program -- And English as a second language then I think that sometimes. The adrenaline gets a battle -- but having said that you know the last eighteen and nineteen years 1993 are what make. What are the the vote but problems. I'm not -- in 2011. I think warlords to challenges and all of professional sports are -- made it a on occasion what do you think he's doing this on purpose try to. I don't know I wanna make a point Bob at this point because just like if I'm abolished. It's not like I relied upon the Cuban Americans. Community to -- out Joe Robbie Stadium because that hasn't happened it's not like the Cuban American community has been. Big build up of the -- better shape the franchise a bit but fortunes don't -- -- all what how much they wanna be politically correct. To -- knowledge I think that's an -- badge. Pop out -- and I think that you know explode out context is pretext to. -- you look at the whole story has some aberration and I'm miles away from this great superpower but I -- -- and excess -- they have killed they managed to. Well you can't it's not my scandal it's -- scandal I'm just bring in an -- so and so obviously the people who run the team are concerned. That this is created a crisis that he's had to fly back from my leave the team and go back to Florida try to put out the fire they misled so. IE I think he's got some work to do no matter how we -- here bills in Manchester, New Hampshire next RKO hi bill. Good morning -- well I think he and goes. He's been going off for years but to compound the problem I don't know if you've seen the article but they just built this mega stadium out there. As part of the whole play and it looks like got French art museum. And that if they don't get good attendance it's going to be eight pastor. She says it's a horrible looking thing is that true. It doesn't well compared to. All the other new parks in baseball I -- replica is just beautiful parks and this is ultra modern which oh it looks just like the US -- South -- I don't think it's. It's not terrific it just doesn't look like all the other baseball park. All right thank you for that built this stadium time behind home plate has aquariums. In the who need the whatever -- -- the wall -- you can -- fish -- so having the camera -- in the shot on the outer -- -- -- after a certain. You see the batter in the office the last there's a big aquarium. No we can't infection swimming it's really we usually they put advertisements -- job. The lead in the Al failed bay an exciting for the pitchers they can try to break the glass in his swimming pool in the outfield of huge bar and everything but they are trying to say that's really upsetting people down there is that. It's some of the ball players who don't like either one of -- of the park is huge like on the field is just Massey can't sit close and even hit a home run because the the vehicle like this is massive OK but it's -- it's it's in light of federated car type of area so it's in a really small community. And they built this massive. None community looking stadium where I've been great fits Wear it enough. So this is how -- art out of the community it was nice not a community stadium and also and I'm sorry it's got everybody upset in the ticket prices so high and in the boycotts coming with the Cubans. So are going to be good to Goodyear for the Marlins -- on -- hi Tim. They thought I -- that need to do a better jump in Russia and not just saying that but I. Sit I enjoy and then there. They try to recruit directly let's get this stay committed a bid to win the guard and the guy. Well I don't battleship by saying what he says it's appropriate example I'll just because the guy is substantial sent horse finish. Does that mean that key have a specific pattern right don't like anybody -- that's Spanish club let everybody. Says he's a he's he's -- -- -- senate. So if you're hired a -- for PR why would you hire somebody's stepson all the time. Because he's Spanish. And because they try to get somebody who can identify with the community that's the whole point. Yeah -- just say there must be a guy is not a -- -- you could get to identify with the community. -- we say we got too tired to go -- no doubt I got a program that that was noted seemed to be the answer. All right thank you -- of that coming -- I don't know if you I do a better job than rush no I definitely couldn't. Guys I know you could. Do for an hour while and it's it's big job normally want its right now you win nasty. You -- in the -- Easier show in the world today hello. Hello everybody you know all should pull out old Harlow here behind us so firm and the room. Microphone -- don't you know -- big cardboard. Swords and fight and see you know.
