Meh...I just found out that Rays honcho, Stuart Sternberg...used to call into John Sterling’s crapantheon sports radio show back in the early 70’s!
On Monday’s cheers in the dugout: “I wasn’t there. The last few games - I’m on the DL. They have a policy here, the Nationals, when you’re on the DL you stay home. But they let me come on this trip because I live here.
“I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of it to be honest with you. I’ll be honest with you. You know, we’re struggling. Guys are just trying to have a little fun. I think they saw Figueroa getting a little upset, so they amped it up a couple of notches. I do think it’s a little bush league. At first it started off as a little fun, until he got mad. I don’t agree with it. But, also, Nelson Figueroa has nine wins in the big leagues and he needs to keep his mouth shut.”
On being named in the Mitchell Report: “I apologized. It’s something I did a long time ago. The perception, and people think that, hey, he did it last year. No. I did it a long time ago. And it was a mistake I did. I wish it would have never happened. It’s something I’ll have to deal with. But, you know, I’m sort of glad. I think it was a monkey that’s been on my back for a long time that finally flew off. It was something that I’m not proud of, obviously.
“I don’t view myself as a cheater. Obviously it’s something I did. And obviously it’s something that helped me. But, you know, a lot of people don’t realize I got into a bad collision and got run over at home plate one year, in ’95 in Double-A. And I got it prescribed to me by a doctor. A lot of guys did it. There’s a lot of guys in front of me that did it. Like I said, I’m not making excuses. It was part of survival. You want to be at home or you want to be playing? That’s the way it was. I apologized for what I did, but that’s plenty true.”

Does douchenozzle make it through?
Does Christ-humper?
So whatever. Lo Duca may be a former juicer and a jerk for other reasons, but let's give it a rest for now.
This is actually a fine take on the situation.
He's a douchenozzle for things unrelated to this article.

No it isn't. If it's bush league, it's bush league. Who cares whether it's a superstar or a fringe player making the comment.
Give it a rest, you creep.

Exactly. And Lo Duca doesn't like anything that features bush.
Sure.
Not together though.
What does it serve other than himself? A good teammate doesn't do crap like that.
They most certainly are.
But then they are open to being called a douchenozzle
Krista Guterman, Christina Alisio and Sonia Flores would strongly diagree.
