I agree. Yeah, he's been a turd in the past, but if people keep expecting you to act like a turd in the future, how can you act otherwise?

The man is psychotic. He is a walking time bomb ready to explode at any time. If he were not a baseball player he would probably be incarcerated for murder.
I watched the replay. Psycho struck out looking in the 5th on a pitch right down the middle. He stood at the plate acting like a Prima donna to show up the ump. Glaring out, slowly taking off his batting gloves. Not shown was him flipping the bat. He got a hit in the 8th and immediately got in Mike Winters face. Postgame interviews revealed Psycho was interrogating Winters as to whether he reported him for flipping his bat. Actually, Psycho was given the courtesy of not being tossed in the 5th in consideration of a pennant race. He simply would not let it drop. He was so enraged his adrenaline overpowered his bones and joints. MB got EXACTLY what he deserved. He needs to be institutionalized to protect society.
Family values, my a$$, Chandler. You give excuses for a guy who was and always has been completely out of the bounds of common human decency.

So now we hear that GameBoard wants to take action against Winters for making him so angry that his manager had to restrain him to prevent felonious assault and that he was so uncontrollable that he tore his ACL trying to break free. The BBGs had had enough.

Where did I give an excuse? I don't think he's in the wrong here, but I've actually read alot more than just a cursory overview of what happened. The ump started jawjacking with HIM in the 8th and wouldn't let it go. They were pushing him to get him to explode.
I don't think someone that posts videos of monkeys smelling their fingers after it being up their ass and talks regularly about eating sh*t has any room to talk about someone else being completely out of bounds of common human decency.

Did you watch the replay? MB got his hit and HE immediately got in Winters face. Winters walked up and said,"Pardon?" And MB went on and on and on and on. Winters apparently called him a sorry sack of $hit and told him to shut the fnck up. That's when MB blew a gasket and, eventually, his ACL. Winters is reknown as a hothead who routinely baits players and managers. Bruce Bochy said Winters has tossed him something like 13 times. So he probably deserves a reprimand too.

Look, Chandler, scatological humor and nicknames are part of the ambience of a locker-room of the man-boys who play the game. We're not discussing Nietzsche here.  |

Then read again, because it's not, nor was it intended to be one. I'm not absolving him at all. He's just NOT the only one to blame here. You even say yourself that Winters baits people. |

I've played ball in one form or another for quite a while, and I don't remember there being a fixation on fecal matter as you've exhibited. Maybe the guys I played with weren't as enlightened as you are. |

Maybe the guys I played with weren't as enlightened as you are. Maybe the guys you played with were more interested in getting their sno-cones after the game. Have you read Dierker's book - It Ain't Brain Surgery? He said a guy got along in the locker room like a "turd in a punchbowl". He recounted the "Woody" joke he pulled on Milo. Have you read Jim Bouton's Ball Four? Do you recall how Doug Rader decorated a birthday cake? |

BTW, I predict this exchange will go on and on and on like a baseline women's tennis match because you simply refuse not to have the last word. You might try it sometime - it's a good character builder.

The replays I saw clearly showed the first base umpire starting the sh*t with Bradley. and, I think people here can tell yuu that I'm not one to make excuses for a$$h*les, especially those of Bradley's type. |

I just looked on YouTube and I think that JB is correct. It does look like the 1b ump is having a go at him. If this does turn out to be the case, the ump needs his ass suspended and they need to let Milton kick him right square in the nuts! ;D
