[USML Announce] DUMP Update - Elijah Dukes It Out for the Last Time

[JHWinick at aol.com]

In what must certainly be considered a serious blow to Brad Lee's 2007  
prospects, Elijah "Can't We All Just Get Along" Dukes, appears to have called it  
quits.  Apparently, the Devil Rays have now figured out what all of  the USML 
owners (save Brad Lee himself and maybe Rich) had long since  concluded:  
Elijah Dukes is just too angry to play baseball.  Sure  makes you wonder what the 
Devil Rays are feeding their pups, cuz clearly Delmon  is eating at the same 
table.  This just in off the wires:
 
"Elijah Dukes said he might quit baseball after being suspended  indefinitely 
Tuesday by the Rays pending an investigation into his five-game  suspension 
by the International League.
Dukes, who was slated to return to Triple-A  Durham's lineup tonight, was 
suspended by the leagues after he was ejected for  arguing balls and strikes on 
July 25. "I have no idea when or if I'll be back,"  Dukes said. "I packed up 
all my stuff and I'm headed home. To be honest, I don't  even know about 
baseball anymore. Everything is just wearing on me and this year  has just been so 
frustrating. I'm trying to keep my nose clean and keep to  myself, but things 
just keep getting turned around. I'm tired of it." 
 
Just another public service announcement from  your friends at DUMP.
