You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this?

Just dove deep in to that thread.
Ugh. Every once in a while you read something that genuinely bums you out. Today was that day.
Really, people? Justifying the racist slurs that come hurling out of the bleachers every game because ‘Bradley is a whiner’ or ‘Bradley is overpaid’ or ‘Bradley beat his wife allegedly once maybe’?
Sometimes i’m ashamed to be a Cubs fan. I know its a few bad apples thing, but man…

Dude, seriously?
A post is made about Bradley’s complaint of feeling hated in Chicago. Racist slurs rain down on him during games.
Multiple posters only response is to say “yeahbuuttttt….” and then list off attributes of Milton that they don’t agree with, or incidents in his history that they believe should justify it somehow.
Maybe you’ve gotta read between the lines a bit, but seriously. Come on.

Tough topic.
The discussion revolved around fans booing, racial slurs, and his attittide. Nobody said it’s ok to call out slurs. If they did they would be hung out to dry, deservedly so. The problem is b/c race has been brought into it, now the discussion can’t be had w/o it being injected.
I understand people being upset, there is no call at all for that kind of thing, but it should not preclude or encompass an otherwise good discussion. That’s all, I respect your opinion if you disagree.

Nobody came right out and said it, sure...
… but it doesn’t take much imagination to see the point. How much of that “hate” Bradley feels isn’t either explicitly racist, or could be assumed to have racist undertones?
I’ve sat in the bleachers enough to know what he’s hearing and why it’s not OK. And trying to respond to that complaint with anything about his past or his attitude is redic. I don’t care who he is or what he does on or off the field, it isn’t OK to do that. Maybe he’s getting it worse BECAUSE he’s a whiner or overpaid or a wife beater or whatever else, but that isn’t real justification, and the hatred that pours out of the bleachers doesn’t start and stop with MB.

use of the words “blow” and “him” in the same sentence have nothing to do with baseball

hey hypothetical question but
if the Rockies were the ones who claimed Harden, would you trade him for Eric Young Jr? Just want to know what you guys think
COOL BEANS!
You're not going to give Harden a long term contract so you might as well get something for him

The Cubs won't have the money
They probably won’t, anyway.

I think we should all just enjoy watching this game and the next and the next
I wasn’t happy when I was little and watching the Cubs losing so much (1950’s). But, everyday after school I looked forward to coming home and watching my team, win or lose. I “just” enjoyed watching the game! Sure it would have been better to win, but I was a kid and just loved baseball. I think we need to remember that it still can be fun watching witjhout so much anger,. Life is short, enjoy it and don’t get so upset.. Pretend you’re 10 again and just enjoy it for what it is.
