Elijah Dukes: First, I’d like to thank the Washington Nationals for all they’ve done for me.  But I come here today to ask for another chance.  An opportunity to continue the incredible growth I’ve had since I lost my father.  I know that there are people that think I’m a bad seed, but I plead with those folks, please don’t judge.  I’m not the terrible man people think I am… 

 

Milton Bradley: HOLD UP!  Yo, Elijah, I don’t mean to interrupt, you got a bad rap and all but look man, if I was a musician, I’d be Kanye West. If I was in the NBA, I’d be Ron Artest.  But in baseball, they’ve got me: Milton Bradley.  I’m that guy.  You need people like me, so you can point your finger and go, “There goes the bad guy.”

 

Elijah Dukes: You, Kanye and Tony Montana are dead, dawg.
