Jose Guillen, the Howard Beale of the Royals

By CHRIS RASMUSSEN

Jose Guillen doesn’t care about me or what I think. On Friday, he said the following (presumably with numerous expletives omitted): “I care less about the fans and how they boo me,” Guillen said. “They booed me earlier in the season when I was struggling. I could care less. They don’t know what’s going on with Jose Guillen.”

At least he’s honest.

The hilarious thing about the reaction to Guillen’s remarks is that some express shock that a player would show disdain for the fans. I suspect most professional athletes have similar thoughts, although they never dare articulate them.

I don’t care whether Guillen cares about me. Jose Guillen is a professional entertainer. The only thing I ask of him is that he is productive and contributes to a winning team.
