I read the article and I don't really understand it; I'm not trying to sound stupid or whatever but honestly it just sounds like he was trying to speak Spanish to someone? Am I missing something. Here is the link:

I think that there were some undertones that Spanish people are thieves and Lyons also made fun of the Spanish language. It is never appropriate to make fun of a nationality, but totally ignorant to do it on national television. What a dumb ***.

Fox had to do something and not just to be PC. The level of the dialogue in the booth was boring at best. Lyons added little insight of value. Lou Piniella sounded like a growly old grouch and the ballgame was getting lost in a river of insipid babble. Fox had plenty of cause to clean house. There are talented, interesting baseball commentators. It can be done.

He apparently was making fun of Lou Pinella's accent.
