Adrian and Edgar Gonzalez Interview (MP3)
This segment included an interesting phone call from Kevin Kouz er uh "Phil."
at 6:17 in the interview:
Kevin Kouzmanoff as Phil: You've been very successful umm in baseball your whole career and I just love watching you, I mean you are super baseball player
Adrian: I appreciate that.
Phil: Umm you know...today was gay pride day, did you celebrate it today?
Adrian: Huh? No, of course not.
Phil: I know you're married but I'd like to get your side on Proposition 8.
Adrian: Well you know I was raised Catholic and I'm a Christian person so my beliefs are there.
Phil: Yeah so... I'm from a family of five brothers and I was the only one that turned out gay --
Edgar: It's Kouz.

Yeah
I heard that……AGon was sounding very uncomfortable for a while.

Classic
So effing classic, I don’t want to trade Kouz just for that

That is golden.
Reminds me of when my sister had a closed-minded boyfriend and I posted a few “m4m” casual encounters ads on craigslist with his name and number. I’ve always loved Kouz but he just moved up a few notches in my book. Awesome…

this made me cry from laughter

Rec
Symbolically for Kooz
I also liked what he said about the team this year.
Saying they will go out there and play hard, admitting that many people may doubt how good they will be.
This situation could help take the pressure off some guys and put them in a position to succeed instead of a position to fail.

hahaha
super baseball player.

I take back a little of what I said about the Darrin Smith solo show
I get the feeling if Philly Billy was there this moment wouldn’t have happened. The interview atmosphere seems looser without him there.
Wonko - December 10, 2008
Kind of crappy
to put your teammate in that position in public, especially with how heated Prop 8 has been in the media.

true dat

DSmith says ...
Some of you guys need to chill the hell out. AGon doesn’t hate the gays.
SR - December 11, 2008
Did you just email him?
jbox - December 11, 2008
Yes
I e-mail him every so often about stuff SA or Philly Billy etc. say on the show.
SR - December 11, 2008
Surprise, surprise!
Darren Smith wants people to chill out. Hippy.
(psst, luvya Darren)
Axion - December 11, 2008
What if?
Kouz was just testing the waters to see how Adrian would take the news of a teammate coming out of the closet?
jbox - December 11, 2008
Furthermore
What if Kouz lives his life off the field as a guy named Phil?
jbox - December 11, 2008
A gay man named Phil no less
What else don’t we know about this guy?
SD Chick N - December 11, 2008
He has brothers
And can dial a phone… (I think)
The clues are pouring in.
Axion - December 11, 2008
I was paraphrasing
“tell your people to relax” – DS
Got that, “my people”? Or maybe I should say, “You people.”
SR - December 11, 2008
Yes master
as you command.
You gotta start hitting “reply” on the comment you are replying to. That is unless Darren tells you not to.
jbox - December 11, 2008
D'oh
Yeah, Smith doesn’t realize that I’m not exactly in the GLB inner circle. Hell, the other day I thought Drama might have been DSmith.
SR - December 11, 2008
Just so we're clear
A lot of words are being thrown around and commentors are encouraging us to look up their definition, let’s do that now:
Homophobe:
Bigot:
Marriage:
jbox - December 11, 2008
I've had enough, that's it!
Naked Giles hugs for everyone!
