Remember back in May how Mike Rizzo went after Cole Hamels, calling his plunking of Bryce Harper “chickens**t,” “classless,” and “gutless?” Well, that anonymous GM who ripped him to Bob Nightengale today is getting a dose of that now too:
Rizzo referred to the unnamed aspect of the comments as “chicken (bleep).” Rizzo, a Chicagoan, also said, “That’s not how we do things in my neighborhood … “Who knows, maybe the came from an executive on a team that lost 120 games.”
No word, at present, if they are also “fake tough.”
