Manny Acta has given center fielder Lastings Milledge the green light to steal whenever he wants, so long as he keeps his base stealing percent over 74%. The Mets never afforded Yung Millz such freedom on basepaths, giving him nine total steal attempts over the two seasons he was in New York. I suppose someone born with a sweet name like Lastings is bound to be fast, but I didn't even know he had base stealing speed. Yung Millz has already promised to both hit and field better since he's playing his natural position, center field, for the Nats. The Mets had him stuck in left field, where he said he was uncomfortable.
What I don't understand is how Milledge got the "headcase" label slapped on him. The song he was on, "Bend Ya Kneez," was maybe a little grimy. It's not like it's illegal to rap (although it should be for Rocko da Don. "Umma Do Me" sounds like it was both penned and performed by a paint-huffing retard). Second of all, I don't get how high-fiving fans after you hit a bottom of the ninth game tying home run is a bad thing. Lastings, you can feel free to come over and high five me whenever you want to, especially if you just sent the game it into extra innings with a bomb. I'm glad D.C.'s media doesn't have the sensationalist asshole element that New York's does. Hopefully, your stats will affirm the "gangsta" status claimed on your three finger ring.
