Davies needs to come out and drill the next guy in the 4th.

Aim for the head.

[kstater]

Nice play there.

As much as I'd like to see it, you and I both know it won't happen.

[kstater]

Should have aimed for the head, not dead center of the plate.

[SPchief]

WTF is Tomko still on this team?

[BWillie]

WTF is Tomko still on this team?

Because he makes alot of money.

[OmahaChief]

If Tomko is not cut this week this team will be even more of a joke than it already is. Shit, I would rather have a minor leaguer with some talent over Tomko's no talent ass.

But things have changed so much since Dayton's been here. :rolleyes:

To me, Tomko was a guy that Baird would have signed tool. I just don't see what has changed since Baird is gone.

Dayton has at least pumped money into scouting and opening up the Dominican for us. It will take years for that to pay off though. I think the Soria pick up, Ramirez trade and drafting are all things that have changed with Dayton at the helm. The one thing that has not is the crap play on the field to this point.

It's way too early to say that drafting has changed, since there has been no time for them to get here yet. The Soria, Bannister, and Ramirez moves do look good though.

Giving Gload an extension and signing Tomko to big money were horrible moves.

According to one of the guys on the 610 post game show on another board, Milton Bradley came up to the media area and was looking for Ryan Lefebvre after the game. But was told he was still on air, Bradley went back down to the clubhouse. He was smart to not want to go and talk to Frank White...

[Demonpenz]

I would too. Lefebrve has been making smart ass comments about milton all year long

[Sure-Oz]

Really? and how the hell would he know what lefebvre was sayin about him?

[Sure-Oz]

love how we blew another lead

[Demonpenz]

probably a family member but shit ryan has been riding his ass all year long making smart ass comments

[kstater]

:banghead: I should have known not to assume a win and go to bed when it's 5-1 going to the 7th.

[Sully]

The difference is, under Baird he'd have been our #1 or #2 starter. He was supposed to be a #4 or #5 this year, and has failed even at that. We are so far below the other teams in this whole league, we are still going to have to sign shitty players... and they will still be an improvement. We have to overpay right now for free agents, but hopefully after a few years of building, that will subside.

So the change is this...
Under Baird, we wouldn't have gotten Meche last year, by overpaying for him (which, IMO, was a good move), but we would have signed Tomko instead.

[chiefqueen]

Ryan usually rides an ump during games but a comment made by Ryan during a Yankees game last week indicated to me the Royals' brass told him to knock that off. Ryan, needing someone to "ride" found Milton.

BTW, on ESPN2, when Mike & Mike aren't talking about crooked NBA officiating, they're talking about Ryan's comments.

[KCUnited]

Lefebvre has been making comments about Bradley all year, Split will even refer to him as Lefebvre's "favorite player". I've heard Lefebvre make comments about Bradley when we weren't even playing the Rangers. That said, Bradley is a huge puss and Lefebvre cracks me up. Has Gobble got the axe yet?

Critical comments cause Bradley to go looking for Royals announcer
Associated Press

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."

Several of Bradley's teammates consoled him after he calmed down.

Lefebvre, who is the son of former major league manager Jim Lefebvre, said he met with Daniels and Washington about his on-the-air comments, but did not talk to Bradley. Lefebvre said the comments were intended to praise Josh Hamilton, who missed nearly four years of professional baseball with cocaine and alcohol additions, rather than tear down Bradley.

"It was a conversation about how Josh Hamilton has turned his life around and has been accountable for his mistakes," Lefebvre told The Associated Press. "Right now, it seems like the baseball world and fans are rooting for him. ... It doesn't seem like Milton Bradley has done the same thing in his life."

The oft-injured Bradley has a history of losing his temper.

He slammed a plastic bottle at the feet of a fan in the right-field seats at Dodger Stadium in 2004 after someone threw it on the field. With San Diego in the pennant chase last September, he tore the ACL in his right knee when he was spun to the ground by Padres manager Bud Black, who was trying to keep him from an umpire.

He was suspended for five games after slamming the bottle, and had a four-game suspension for tossing a bag of balls onto the field after an ejection. There was a dugout confrontation with Cleveland manager Eric Wedge during spring training in 2004 before getting traded to Los Angeles.

Bradley claimed umpire Mike Winters baited the player into the confrontation and directed a profanity at him last September. Winters was suspended the final five days of the regular season and didn't work the postseason.

"We weren't singling out Milton Bradley," Lefebvre said. "We also spent a lot of time complimenting Milton Bradley, but that's not what he heard when he was in the clubhouse.

"We weren't tearing up Milton Bradley. I told [Washington and Daniels] this wasn't a Milton Bradley rip session, but just based on the pictures we've seen in this series of him walking to the dugout all the way to right field, dropping his bat, making gestures to the fans in right field and above the dugout and taunting them. He's the only person in baseball I know that does that type of stuff."

[Demonpenz]

bradley is just pawn in game of life

[Sure-Oz]

Bradley needs to not get upset at every little thing that is said, and its true, he was heckling fans and stuff after they said stuff to him, be a pro and ignore it
