Tony Bruno to get the axe for his twitter post?

[RBB05]

Yeah, I know he mostly is full of hot air anyway. But after a bench clearing brawl in the Giants-Phillies game, in which Giants pitcher Ramon Ramirez intentionally beaned the Phillies Shane Victorino.
Tony Bruno...a die hard Phillies fan....took to his Twitter account to blast Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "Bochy is a coward for having his illegal alien pitcher hit a guy...."
Yes, he insinuated that Ramirez is an illegal alien because of his ethnicity. He took the tweet down and issued one of those lame apologies, ".....if I offended anyone."

Move it to the San Fran Boards but its knee jerking thats whats expected in sports radio and political talk. I agree it was lame.

Ben Maller is "filling in" right now. Hmmm.

 

[radioman148]

What a moron!

Did a twitter search: One week suspension for him

>>LA Daily News ace @tomhoffarth is reporting that Tony Bruno has been suspended one week by DirecTV, which owns his radio show

also via a link on a tweet, Bruno gives his side

This is reminiscent of that Giants announcer who commented about how the team was a bunch of (slur that has since escaped me) "hacking at slop nightly". This, of course, back when the Giants sucked, before they won the World Series.

EDIT: I believe another posted jogged my memory... it was Larry Kruger?

 

[SCV_Ears]

I think Bruno should go into Bochy's office and deliver his opinion personally. Otherwise, he's a coward

Look at the stunt that Larry Kruger pulled and guess what he's back on KNBR.
Tony Bruno will come back when the smoke clears they had to show that they
are sensitive to the issue (for now).
