You may remember the incident between Jose Guillen and Brendan Donnelly a couple of weeks ago, and let me assure you, that was just a warmup. There is a lot of anger inside the body of Jose Guillen, and only some is reserved for Donnelly.
Guillen' s made no secret of his contempt for Mike Scioscia and the Angels, and even before the season started he had his eyes set on April 20th. That's because today Jose Guillen and the Mariners roll into Anaheim to face his arch enemy.
You might think that with a few years passing since Scioscia and Guillen got into a fight that resulted in Guillen's being released from the Angels in September of 2004, that maybe tempers have quelled a bit. They haven't.
Asked if he would seek out Scioscia, Guillen - who has been with eight organizations in the last eight years - snapped back with, "Nope. No chance."Well, Mike, he hasn't. I'd watch my back tonight if I were you.
Would he accept Scioscia reaching out to him?
"Nope. No chance."
Scioscia said he thought Guillen had put the incident behind him.
"It was an unfortunate incident, and we've certainly moved on," Scioscia said in a telephone interview from his home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Thursday - an Angels day off.
"I hope Jose grows from it. He told me he took anger management classes and put the whole incident behind him and was going to grow from it."
