KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Jose Guillen's profanity-filled tirade moments after the Kansas City Royals squandered a five-run lead and lost their 10th game in a row earned the outspoken outfielder a big thumbs-up from his frustrated bosses. ``Jose and I met,'' manager Trey Hillman said Thursday, a night after that loss to the Minnesota Twins. ``I said, 'Love your message, love your message. Just don't like the way you said it. Some of the language you used, we would greatly prefer that you didn't use.''' Guille |
