Bradley Skips Fact: He Stunk - Rick Morrissey

I really enjoyed this article today. My favorite part is that Rick used many of the same arguments that people on here have used regarding race; even bringing up Ryan Dempster the Closer and Todd Hundley.

A good read and a good summary.

I don't often like Morrissey's columns.

But this time, he nailed it.

If there's one thing this site needs...

it’s more Milton Bradley posts.

That makes six, by my count, in the last three days.

So basically he's saying

Cubs fans aren’t racist, they’re just a-holes.

I guess that’s better, but it’s really a matter of degrees.

SOME fans of every team are a-holes.

Cubs fans (on a whole) aren’t worse than Philly fans or Boston fans, or New York fans …

Well you just listed the worst of the worst. I guess we’ve reached that elite level of asshole fans.

April 23, 24 and 25 & July 26, 27, 28 and 29.

Those will be the Mariners’ two appearances in Chicago this year, to play the White Sox at the Cell.

It’ll be real interesting to hear the reaction to MB when he plays there.

Mostly indifference I would think.

I doubt Sox fans are going to cheer him for making comments about the city, but I seriously doubt they are going to boo a guy who threw their crosstown rival team under the bus. If they were playing at Wrigley, Milton probably would not even play. For those three days, he most likely would be “day to day with a sore hamstring.”
