DALLAS (AP) -- Texas Rangers pitcher John Rocker issued a written apology Monday for anti-gay remarks he made toward patrons of a popular eatery.

Rocker said he was with his girlfriend on Sunday at Breadwinners Cafe & Bakery when some customers began badgering and pestering him.

If he would just have threatened someone with a gun or beat his wife he'd still be a role model.

I'm thinking the Diamondbacks might need a closer after Hyome Ryun Kim finally sustains a neck injury following the path of the ball over his head and into the wild blue yonder.

You can have him.

He's finished as a top-tier closer, and the fact that the Rangers still have him around shows how pathetic this team is.

And, John Hart is not the Rangers' "manager"; he's the general manager, and that he is quoted in this article indicates that Rocker is toast.
