Sports: Aww. Chicago Cubs coach Lou Pinella apologizes to Milton Bradley

  • Pinella says Bradley’s shenanigans need to stop, though. On Friday, Milton Bradley got booted from a game and told to go home after he caused an unnecessary scene. On Saturday, the manager that booted him from the game, Lou Pinella (who’s been called soft lately), backed off a little and apologized, but did expect change from the top-tier Cubs acquisition. “But I also told him that just can’t continue,” Pinella said, “to have shenanigans that we’ve put up with. I told him he’s going to hurt somebody, he’s going to hurt himself.” Bradley and Pinella had a long chat and now they’re cool again. Yay. source

Sports: Sammy Sosa used steroids? No, really? And rain is wet?

  • 45.6 number of home runs he hit, on average, between 1993 and 2003, before he was found using steroids.
  • 23.3 number of home runs he hit, on average, between 2004 and 2007, post-steroids. Hm. Interesting. source
