ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After failing to report to a minor league assignment within the allotted 72 hours, Tampa Bay Devil Rays right-hander Dewon Brazelton on Monday was placed on Major League Baseball's restricted list.

Brazelton was optioned to Triple-A Durham of the International League following his 5-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox last Wednesday. However, he has yet to report or even establish any contact with the team, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

As long as Brazelton is on the restricted list, the Devil Rays will not have to pay him. In the final year of his initial contract, Brazelton is scheduled to make $1.13 million in 2005.

The 24-year-old Brazelton, who was the third overall pick in the 2001 draft, allowed five runs, four hits and six walks in 4 2/3 innings against the White Sox to lose his fourth straight start and fall to 1-7 with a 6.43 ERA in eight starts this season.

In 42 career appearances, Brazelton is 8-22 with a 5.54 ERA. He is 0-14 in 18 career road starts, including three this year.

Saw it on the ESPN ticker. The f*ck is you, nigga? As if he's got leverage. I bet he couldn't even shut down the Yankees. Usually if you suck, you've got their number. But he sucks so much that it comes back around the other way.

"Nigga" in everyone of your posts is getting almost as old as your old talking in the third person routine.

I'd take a flyer on Brazelton if he were available. He's still young.

Are you denying a black man the right to say "nigga" ? You better hope Strider forgot Jesse Jackson's number.

He and his buddies can throw that word around with each other all they want. It doesn't have to be used at everyone here.

I do find that word rather inappropriate for use on a public message board. If an invisionfree administrator were to stumble on a post containing the word, I'm not so sure they'll be alright with it.

Exactly. It's bullsh*t that because he's black he could say it every other word.

Zambrano, you don't care what I think, I don't give a f*ck what you think. You spew so much nonsense on these boards, I don't even take you seriously anymore. By the way, calling people "nigga" is sharing their personal lives? If you didn't like what I said about sharing intimate details of people's sex lives, you should have mentioned it then. When you pop your cherry, leave it off the boards.

That's your opinion. If someone wants to share something, then that's their choice. We're all buddies here. I'm not going to get into this again, but I just wanted to say that.

If you don't like what some people discuss here, then just don't read it. That's all. And FYI, I'm not the only one that talks about that kind of stuff here, I mention that only because it seemed like you were talking directly to me when you said that the other day.

OK, well if you ever don't want to know something, then just don't look at it. Most people on here will share stuff about their lives, because they just don't mind. If you don't feel comfortable with it then that's your perogative.

OK, I guess I can no longer read threads about the Mets because that's where I read about the last time you guys banged your chicks. By the way, just because you name your blow up doll doesn't mean you're actually getting laid.

Perhaps if you took two of those balls out of the bag and gave it to Zambrano you wouldn't have to get rid of him.

"Nigga" in everyone of your posts is getting almost as old as your old talking in the third person routine.

I'd take a flyer on Brazelton if he were available. He's still young.

:lmao:

Nigga please! :please:

I say it because I think it and I don't have to censor myself (well, I actually do here). I say the "nigge®" a lot too and its a damn shame that Drew word filtered it out. The word doesn't offend you so don't bullsh*t as if you've got a problem with it. You just realized that its been a couple days since you and I have argued over something and this was an opportunity to spark another one.

And not to incorporate some of my personal life, but: I have a diverse group of friends (Italian, Ethiopian, Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Italian-Puerto Rican, Irish-German, black American, and I had a Chinese friend but he moved) and we all use the word. Sometimes its a substitute for "dude" or "man" and other times, its for the negative connotation. I don't have a problem with it because I know where and who its coming from. I know the history of the word (most people who have a problem with it assume I don't) and I still use it freely. And I'll continue to make posts with the word in them. I didn't have a problem with you saying "guido" the other day. I didn't have a problem with you making that marinara joke in response to BC. Hell, you said that you could get away with it because you're "paisan". Think about it.

Damn right, CreamCheese. [size=14]NIGGA![/size]

You know that response isn't gonna fix me. And I'm sure you know what I'm thinking is your reason for that response.

You actually have an angle to argue what I said (I noticed it as I was typing it) and you didn't take it. :no:

I'm not offended by your use of the word. I'm just not a big fan of it in general and when I see it used in every one of your posts, it gets old. You never used to say it all the time. Now I guess your United Nations group of friends is using it, so it's in your mind. I sure hope some of your non-black friends don't use it in front of the wrong person someday and get their asses handed to them or worse.

I didn't use it before because I couldn't. You know how MSG was. But its been a part of my vocabulary since about junior high. That and I don't it kinda 1/2 jokingly. I'm sure you've noticed that I in and out of slang in some of my posts. "The f*ck is you, nigga?" is an example of that.

No, my friends know not to say it around other people. I've made racist comments around other blacks (as a joke) and it didn't fly. Just like I can slap a female friend in the ass and think nothing of it, I'd never do it to a stranger. There's a wrong time and place for everything.

Kerry Collins used that word among some of his African-American teammates and destroyed his place on his team. He thought it was okay because his African-Americans teammates use it as either an endearing term or to describe another person in the worst possible light. My gf told me it was okay if I used it in talking to her because we are so close that we are tighter then family. I still will not use it because I consider the word offensive. Her oldest daughter once got mad at me and used the word on me and I told her in no uncertain terms that if she said it again I will knock every one of her teeth out. If she wants to use it among her friends that okay. If you want to use it in your posts I don’t care. But I will not use the word and if somebody uses it on me there will be one hell of a fight.
