HBO gives viewers choice to make on Rangers’ Matt Bush

No popcorn will be popping Tuesday night at the springtime residence of Matt Bush. No bowls will be filled with Raisinets or Junior Mints.

He hasn’t called his local cable operator demanding HBO.

The segment produced about him by “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” isn’t must-see TV for Bush, the Texas Rangers’ hard-throwing reliever. He lived through all that airs over nearly 17 minutes, the good but mostly the bad, and remembers all that he told correspondent Andrea Kremer.

Bush has taken no issue what how he was treated by HBO. He’s trying to remain sober after alcohol nearly wrecked his life and career, and staying focused on pitching in the major leagues.
