Major League baseball is currently looking into accusations made by Chicago Cub pitcher Ted Lilly. Lilly is notorious for throwing with the wrong (left) hand and for having the best flower garden in the bigs.
Ted Lilly pulled a "Craig" (from the movie Friday) moment on May 26, when he was tossed by Bob Davidson. The good part, is that Ted Lilly didn't even pitch that day.
He didn't steal cardboard boxes, but he believed that Davidson wasn't concentrating behind the plate. After watching video of some of the calls in the video room, he hopped the fence in front of the Cubs dugout to let Bob know he needed to concentrate more.
"I thought both ways, he wasn't concentrating and I asked him if he could concentrate a little bit back there, and he told me he could do whatever he wanted," Lilly said. "That got me upset."
I know it is not right for someone on the bench to go on the field and argue, but maybe Lilly had a point. Steroids do crazy things to your body and mind. Since every Major League hitter and nearly all pitchers take steroids, I am sure that Ted Lilly recognized the look in Davidson's eyes.
Needless to say, like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, Bob Davidson is denying everything. Going as far as saying that Ted Lilly didn't say anything about concentrating in their argument.
The fun part is this though, Davidson says he can't quote what Lilly said. Either he isn't very creative in his attempt to frame Lilly for something he didn't say, or the testicular shrinkage has taken its toll on this grown man.
I mean, isn't he old enough to say things like (WARNING: Extremely explicit content ahead); @#%*, $*%#&, *&%hole, and my favorite, mother*&^%$#.

If I can say them, than why can't he?
Milton Bradley is a genius.
