MLB: Watch out Mrs. Dukes, Elijah is gonna swing (and miss) for your head
There you have it folks, the D-Rays are declaring war on the Bengals, but they ain't settling for petty crimes.
The wife of Tampa Bay Devil Rays rookie outfielder Elijah Dukes filed for a restraining order against her husband and said she fears for her life, The St. Petersburg Times reported Wednesday. NiShea Gilbert, a middle-school teacher, said that Dukes allegedly burst into her classroom at lunchtime in April. A frightened Gilbert then ran to the principal and got a deputy, who banished Dukes from the school. Gilbert told a Florida court that Dukes threatened to kill her and sent her a photo of a handgun to her cell phone. Gilbert played a voice mail allegedly from Dukes for the newspaper. "You dead, dawg. I ain't even [expletive]. Your kids, too." Gilbert has filed requests for protection twice in the last month, according to the newspaper. A hearing on her latest request is scheduled for May 30. "I just don't think I should live in fear," Gilbert told the newspaper. "When [the Rays] go out of town, I come home. When they're at home, I go stay with my mother. I shouldn't have to live like that because he's a baseball player." When approached by the newspaper before Tuesday night's game, Dukes declined to comment on Gilbert's allegations. "I'm just going to play ball, that's it," Dukes told the newspaper. "I've got to go. I've got a video game to finish." Dukes is batting .231 in his first major league season with eight home runs and 13 RBIs. |

Dukes is well on his way to being the love child Jose Canseco and Darryl Strawberry never had, but would love to adopt. |

So when does the statement come out that she was emotional and he did not do anything wrong?
