Bacsik vs. Redding

Duncanville's own Mike Bacsik is suddenly in the headlines again.

The other day, he -- Norm Hitzges' producer at The Ticket -- and former teammate Tim Redding got into a Twitter pissing match where the latter accused the former of grooving a pitch to Barry Bonds to hit the single-season record-breaking home run three years ago.

Suddenly, the blogs are lit up and he's calling into Baseball Tonight discussing the issue.

Bacsik seems like a funny guy. He's hilariously self-deprecating and admits that he wasn't very good and Bonds hitting that home run off him wasn't due to his purposeful pitch but his lack of talent.

Furthermore, he called Redding a bad teammate. He'd already intimated that if there was one guy to accuse him of the deed, it'd be Redding. On Baseball Tonight, he said that most consider Redding a bad teammate who's likely to call out guys on the bench or in the media. And if you look at Redding's career, you wonder how many pitches he's grooved over the years.

You've got to give Bacsik the benefit of the doubt. He's not making any more money off that infamous deed or else he wouldn't be putting up with Hitzges five days a week.
