2ND WOMAN SEEKS INJUNCTION AGAINST ELIJAH DUKES: Elijah Dukes has a way with the ladies - a violent way:

The ST. PETERSBURG TIMES reports that another woman has asked a judge to grant an injunction against the former Rays & current Nationals player.After breaking up in October, the woman has said she’s received threatening text messages from Dukes. The texts include warning her she’ll “have to deal with the consequences“, “don’t let me see you when I come home” and “it’s a promise, now make your move.”

The woman also reports Dukes has been calling her home at “inappropriate times”. One such call includes Dukes telling the woman, “It’s on.”

This is the second injunction sought on Dukes from frightened females. Earlier this year, the player’s ex-wife asked for a restraining order after Dukes left messages threatening to kill her.And his wayward way with women doesn’t stop there. When a 17-year-old told Dukes he was carrying his baby, Dukes reportedly got angry and threw a Gatorade at the girl.

The ladies in D.C. better beware of this ladykiller.

Or attempted ladykiller, anyway.

TB RAYS - BOTTOM OF THE STANDINGS, TOPPS OF THE HEAP Good to know that their 66-96 record was not in vain, as the Tampa Bay Rays have been put on top - by Topps:

The baseball-card company announced that the perennial AL East cellar dwellers have been declared the 2007 Topps Organization of the Year.The rankings are based on the number of awards given out to players throughout the season. Keep in mind, it’s not just the men on the major league roster that matter, but also all the hitters & hurlers in the team’s minor league system.

So the Rays were able to clinch the title by accruing such accolades as Players of the Month in the Southern and International Leagues.

Other awards that helped secure Tampa’s top spot include Best Alcohol-Fueled Police Chase By a Pitching Coach, and Most Creative Threats To A Spouse.

REPORT - ELIJAH DUKES GOT 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL PREGNANT: The ST. PETERSBURG TIMES reports tonight that “A 17-year-old foster girl living with a relative of Elijah Dukes told police the Devil Rays outfielder got her pregnant.

“Detectives believe the sex was consensual and no crime was committed, but the incident has sparked a state investigation into the foster home.”The girl, expected to give birth Nov. 5, told investigators she and Dukes had consensual sex on the living room sofa. She said Dukes got angry when she and another person confronted him about the pregnancy.”

The anonymous victim added, “Yeah, we sat down and told him and he got mad and threw a Gatorade at me.”

This is the same Dukes who has been involved in numerous on- and off-field altercations, and was recently suspended by the Devil Rays for threatening to murder his wife.
