After taking on Frank Thomas earlier this season, White Sox pitcher David Wells took some shots at Bobby Valentine and the city of Cleveland, calling the Mets manager a derogatory name and a "loser" and saying "Cleveland sucks" in an interview with Playboy.com.

Before he was traded from Toronto to Chicago, Wells said in the interview that he was hoping to go to the Mets.

"I did want to go back to New York, but I knew if I did it would have been disastrous with me and Bobby Valentine there," Wells said. "There's no love lost between us."

Wells then called Valentine a derogatory name before continuing: "You ever watch a Mets game? Who do they show, always? ... He knows where the cameras are. One day, I was pitching against the Mets, and he get thrown out and tries to come back in disguise. What a loser. Just go to the office and go have a beer and watch it on TV."

Wells said the Indians are the lone team for which he never would play.

"Cleveland sucks. The team's good. It's the way (the Cleveland fans) treated me in '98 when we beat them in the playoffs," Wells said of his days with the Yankees. "My mom had just died and some of the fans were heckling me when I was warming up, and it got carried away and then before you know it you got 50 or 60 people talking about my mom. It carried on every year after that. We went there Opening Day this year, and I went out to warm up and some dude, just loud as he could, yells, 'Where's your mother at?' "It's (stuff) like that you gotta hear from low-rent scumbags in Cleveland. But it catches on, so everybody starts to talk about my mom. I can't even go out there. People start throwing crap at me, start confrontations. So I just stay in my room and watch TV."

Wells said if the White Sox were to trade Wells to Cleveland he would retire.

"They can take their money and keep it because I would not go," he said.
