Bradley asks for help from Mariners' management

Baseball Betting Lines

05/05/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Outfielder Milton Bradley, sometimes a lightning rod for controversy, has asked the management of the Seattle Mariners for help after he was pulled from the game by manager Don Wakamatsu in Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.

The Mariners decided to start Ryan Langerhans in left field instead of Bradley Wednesday. Bradley struck out with the bases loaded in the sixth inning Tuesday and is hitting just .214 this season and has 24 strikeouts in 70 at- bats.

"This morning Milton Bradley asked if he could have an opportunity to sit down with Don Wakamatsu and myself," Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "He's going through some things in his life right now that are very personal and very emotional. Therefore, Milton has asked us if we could be of assistance to him, if there was any way that we as an organization could help him get through this period of time. We will do everything we can to help Milton. We will join together as an organization and help him receive the assistance that he needs."

Bradley was traded from the Cubs to the Mariners last offseason. On the heels of his first-ever All-Star appearance in 2008, Bradley inked a three-year, $30 million deal with the Cubs. However, as has been the case in almost everywhere Bradley has played, things did not go smoothly for him, as he feuded with manager Cubs manager Lou Piniella, his teammates and the fans.

Bradley's troubles last season were nothing new. He had an altercation with Cleveland skipper Eric Wedge which led to his trade from the team to the Dodgers in 2004. In 2005, he accused Dodgers' teammate Jeff Kent of being racist. Bradley then tore his ACL in 2007, while being restrained by Padres manager Bud Black during an altercation with first base umpire Mike Winters.

"Milton came to us for help," Wakamatsu said. "I think that's a step in the right direction. I think this is a critical point where he finally came out and said he needs some help and we're happy to be there for him."

While with the Rangers, Bradley also attempted to confront Kansas City Royals television announcer Ryan Lefebvre in the press box following a game due to what he believed were unfair comments made on the air.

"Milton is very remorseful of some of the things that have happened in his recent past and feels very badly about it, but the fact that he has stood up and asked for us to help him is an extremely important step for him as a young man," Zduriencik said. "Milton has spoken to his teammates and has asked for their help, their understanding and their assistance."

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
