It seems that our buddy Milton Bradley, after DH’ing for the Texas Rangers in a winning effort (I know….it was the Royals…but a win should make you happy!), decided he was pissed at the Royals T.V. announcer. Naturally, he ran like a bat-out-of-hell up four flights of stairs looking to pick a fight.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Milton Bradley stormed out of the Texas Rangers clubhouse after an 11-5 victory Wednesday night over Kansas City and bounded up four flights of stairs looking for Royals television announcer Ryan Lefebvre.
Bradley, who was the designated hitter, heard what he considered derogative remarks made by Lefebvre on a TV in the Rangers clubhouse. General manager Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington were close behind and intercepted Bradley before he reached Lefebvre. “I don’t want to get necessarily into the details,” Daniels said. “He was upset. Someone who doesn’t know him was passing judgment on TV. It was obvious he was hurt by the comments.” Bradley never reached Lefebvre, although he was within about 20 feet of him in the TV booth before being led back down to the clubhouse. “There was no incident,” Daniels said. Upon returning to the clubhouse, Bradley screamed at teammates and broke down in tears. “I’m tired of people bringing me down,” Bradley said. “It wears on you. I love you guys, all you guys. I’m strong, but I’m not that strong. All I want to do is play baseball and make a better life for my kid than I had.”
Wouldn’t it be nice to see this guy get his ass handed to him in the UFC octagon? That way, he could make a few bucks for his kid, and we could all see him get pummeled by some real tough guys. Tough guys don’t pick fights with t.v. announcers. Do you think this is all pent up anger from being named after a board game company?
