<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Milton Bradley spoke to Cubs beat reporters before Saturday’s game and confirmed that manager <b>Lou Piniella called him a "piece of [expletive]" during their confrontation Friday at U.S. Cellular Field.</b>
“It’s Lou Piniella,” Bradley said. “To me, Lou Piniella is somebody. If it’s a motivating tactic, taking a different switch because people say he didn’t have fire, I understand.”
Piniella said Saturday he apologized to Bradley for the remark.
He said it was “made in the sanctity of the clubhouse” and was upset it was leaked to the media.
Asked if he was singled out by Piniella since other Cubs players have made a scene in the dugout, Bradley said, “Like I’ve said, I don’t have the same set of rules as other people. Because of the mistakes I’ve made in my career, I don’t get the leeway other guys get to a certain extent.”
Bradley is in the lineup, batting third and playing right field, for Saturday's 3:05 p.m. game against the White Sox. The Cubs' full lineup is after the jump.
The Cubs are concerned over alleged leaking of the confrontation between Bradley and Lou Piniella by White Sox security. The Sox are denying the accusations.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
