Point/Counterpoint
November 23rd, 2009 | by Jason Collette |Since I posted my “I’m Game” piece a short while ago, I’ve received a lot of counter arguments to my stance on Twitter. Thomas Gemkow, one of our Fanball correspondents for the WhattheBucs.com blog also happens to be a Rays fan who is in the no-way-Jose camp for Milton Bradley. He put up a story on his Rays site, TampaBayRaysFan.com, to explain his side of the argument. My favorite part:
In 2008, Bradley was playing DH for the Rangers. In a game versus the Royals, Bradley was watching the TV broadcast of the game while his teammates were in the field.—way to support your brothers in arms Milt—anyway, while watching the TV, Royals announcer Ryan Lefevrbe said someone on TV that turned Bradley into The Incredible Hulk. Bradley made a tear for the press box after the game in an attempt to confront Lefevrbe about the comments he made.
I only hope that if Bradley does end up with the Rays, and something like this happens, that DeWayne Staats cold cocks him right in the face.
To read the rest of Gemkow’s piece, please visit his site. While I think he defended his stance very well, it has not changed my stance on the other side of the aisle. In fact, reading this from DRaysBay.com this morning further strengthens my belief that Milton Bradley in a Rays uniform makes this team better.
