THE GOOSE speaks his mind (Tequila likes Goose--she might think he is another Bird???)
How to end MLB lockout? Let Goose Gossage fight Rob Manfred.
Legendary Yankees pitcher Goose Gossage is ready to burn another bridge in retirement for the sake of baseball: by punching Rob Manfred in the face.
In an interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Hall of Fame pitcher Goose Gossage reveals what he's been up to these days. "Nothing but burning bridges," Gossage said, and his latest declaration proves that he's had it with today's MLB.
Gossage could potentially end the MLB lockout with a punch to Rob Manfred, and he'd like to stick New York Yankees executive Brian Cashman in a trash can.
Goose Gossage wants to punch Rob Manfred
Gossage went into detail for his disdain for Manfred, revealing that he's been wanting to punch Manfred since last year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
"I hate that mother (expletive)" Gossage told USA Today. "You know how much I hate him? I called (Hall of Fame chairman) Jane Forbes Clark before the induction last year and said, 'Jane, I don't know where you stand with this guy, but I may punch Rob Manfred right in the (expletive) nose and spatter his (expletive) nose all over his (expletive) face right in the lobby of your hotel."
Gossage is also opposed to the fact that David Ortiz will be inducted into the Hall of Fame due to his use of PED in 2003.
"They're all phonies to me," Gossage said of those who used PED during their careers, including Ortiz, Roger Clemens, and Barry Bonds.
Gossage cites a multitude of factors that have ruined the game of baseball for him, including the MLB management "puppets", the "glorified babysitter" coaches, and today's players who lack the game's fundamentals.
"It breaks my heart to see what has happened to this game," Gossage said. "They tore my heart out and cut it up… They ruined the game. I can't even watch a baseball game."
The man Gossage holds responsible for this and for literally stopping the game with the lockout is Rob Manfred. Although Gossage held back during his Hall of Fame ceremony, if Manfred continues to ruin the game, Gossage may be the only hope of ending the lockout with a knockout.
Goose Gossage for President 2024! If we only knew where he stood on things!  The only candidate who could defeat him is George Brett. |

At 70 years of age (I’m getting close), it might be nice to realize that the threat of random punching of faces is not the wisest of statements. My take on that is that if you’re going to do it, you just walk up to the motherforker you have in mind and deliver the punch.
If you’re talking about it you’re not doing it…
As far as Ortiz goes, he can go straight to Hell and it’s all right if everybody tells him I said so…Cause I’m not likely to run into him anytime soon…

Uncle Andrew had a mean left hook. He fought so much growing up they nicknamed him Canary, after Primo Carnera. He had a hair trigger temper if wronged, but was always a sweet man to me and anyone who was family. He drove a tank under Patton, was in the Battle of the Bulge, and was thought KIA for a year during WWII. He turned up in a hospital in France, where they wanted to amputate his legs. He told them "Hell, no, you aren't taking my damn legs!" They were full of shrapnel and were supposed to kill him without the operation. He died with his legs well into his 80s. And, he never missed a chance to dance when music was playing. |

I loved seeing him for BBQs and on Easter Sunday at my grandfather's house. I have to admit doubt that my vanity would have allowed me to have my legs amputated. I have absolute reverence for those who can endure and thrive after such damage. Absolutely heroic. |

A testament to the indomitable spirit of certain individuals. Always amazes me. |

Owners strong-arming the players now. Remember when the NFL brought in replacement players? Should I start a throwing program now? I never thought to use any substances to improve grip when I was a kid, legal or illegal. |

Do I still have time to make an assault on Rose’s MLB hits record? Will I be banished if I hit in 57 straight games? Should I change my name to Ohtani Two? Will they pay for my shoulder surgeries? … |

It's never too late for PEDs, and you may actually qualify for a legal PED prescription from your physician. Start on Womack's hit record and go from there. You may be banished for your dietary requirements for post-game meals. I recommend Noshow Ohtani. With the PEDs you'll be on, you won't need surgery for several years. |
