Giants' Bochy: Tony Bruno's comment racist

[Upton]

Bruno, a Phillies fan who is well-known in San Francisco because he had a KNBR morning gig before he was dropped a week ago, tweeted that that the Giants were "gutless" and Bochy a "coward for having his illegal alien pitcher hit a guy."

Bochy responded harshly, saying, "Forget the remarks about me. That doesn't bother me. For a guy to make a racist comment like that and have the ear of so many people, that bothers me. I can defend myself as a coward. I don't know if you can defend yourself making a racist comment."

Ramirez, speaking to the Associated Press on Sunday, said, "I know who I am. How would I be able to work here if I were an illegal? He put it on the Internet? I can't believe that."

That's tellin' 'em Bruce. I've listened to Tony Bruno's program occasionally and it's okay. He's a big time Philadelphia sports fan. I understand his passion for his team, but come on. Obviously Ramirez isn't illegal, and you'd think Bruno would have learned something from seeing all these other sports figures and celebrities putting themselves in bad situations due to controversial tweets..

1. Bochy's right.

Tony Bruno is a racist prick.

He needs to insult a brown man and that's the first thing he thinks of: illegal alien.

It was in the heat of the moment? That's his excuse? Fuck that. That heat of the moment should cost him his fucking job, the piece of shit racist.

2. Glad to see Bochy speak out about this.

Bruno should be kicked to the curb after those comments.

3. Once again the World Champions stand up to bigotry

Remember when Braves pitching coach (and '86 Mets player :grr: ) Roger McDowell brandished a bat at some fans and called one of them the F-word?
