Its never his fault, ever, not once. That’s been the story of his life.

for ever thinking Bradley would ‘change’

And before the Hendry/Bradley apologists claim that means Seattle’s GM is a moron too, NO.

Seattle’s GM desperately wanted that bloated bag of goo known as Silva off his roster bad enough to get Bradley

His definition obviously is limited to when he is on the field and how he has performed on the field. But he must have blinders on regarding his behavioral issues and his injury history.

This is very consistent with Bradley’s previous behavior. He has anger management issues and an inability to take responsibility for his actions.

…this is yet another unfortunate, misguided and inappropriate quote out of Milton Bradley’s mouth – not only because he’s failing to take any responsibility for his poor performance, but also because it’s just going to stoke the obsessive, shameful fires of the Paul Sullivans of the world.

Daver out!

Not when you say this:

That said, I suspect that Milton Bradley will own up to his poor behavior in Chicago before anyone with the Cubs, the fanbase or in the Chicago press will own up to theirs. Might take a couple decades, but I bet Bradley is first.

First, Bradley will not own up to anything. It’s not in his mind-set.

Second, what do I need to own up for? As a Cubs fan, I was polite. What do the Cubs need to own up for? Signing him to a contract?

No wonder NBC is going down. They hire schlocks like this.

Milton is a piece of shit. It’s that simple.

That being said, I’d love it if I never heard the POS’s name again.

Things like this and this never happened, so in his world, his logic is correct.

Milton is like Carl Everett, who didn’t believe in dinosaurs, the moon landing, or the holocaust. At least he was a calm man

if there’s ever a chance of him becoming “good”.

I’m glad he doesn’t get to share it with me and the Cubs any longer

I’m sad that things didn’t work out in Chicago. Yes, Milton made some mistakes and should take credit for them. But it’s not entirely incorrect to blame some his struggles on the atmosphere in Chicago. The fanbase was against him before he ever put on the uniform, and when he was hurt to start the season and really struggled, he began to press to meet the expectations of fans that thought he was suddenly going to morph into a power hitter when he had been an on-base guy his whole career.

That said, Milton should have handled the media better and was really immature at times. But he’s no longer a Cub and we’ve thankfully moved on, and I wish him the best of luck in Seattle.

that he doesn’t know how many outs it takes before you can throw the ball in to the bleachers.

I want him to get injured.

Was going to post a fanshot captioned simply: “Milton Speaks; Cue the Outrage”

I used to defend this guy (I still say he played hard), but this has to be one of the more idiotic statements I’ve seen a ballplayer make. Its one thing to say I didn’t fit in or whatever. I could even understand if he blamed something specific like a hostile environment after his slow start, or what have you. But: I’m always good, therefore if I suck its the city’s fault? What a loser.

I don’t want to be “that guy” who says so. But…I told ya so about Bradley!!!

he is gone. He is Seattle’s mess now. It will be only a matter of time he goes on one of his rants, blames the Northwest passage, Starbucks coffee and Pearl Jam for his problems.
 He has been a pain in the ass everywhere he has been, “All aboard the next stop Seattle”

“Two years ago, I played, and I was good. I go to Chicago, not good. I’ve been good my whole career. So, obviously, it was something with Chicago, not me.”

Actually, when Bush was President, you were good. When Barack Obama became President, not good. So obviously, it was something to do with the election of Barack Obama.

Correlation does not always mean causation, Bradley. Sheesh!

Its all your fault. You are weak in the head. You targeted Cubs fans for racism? Other black Players such as Lee came in here, had a decent career going, and continued their success. So there is something wrong with Chicago? Yea, thats why many players in baseball would like to play for us if it wasnt about money. We have the best fans in the world. Thanks for trying.
P.S. Throwing the ball in the stands with 2 outs just to get another fan a ball won’t make the fan happy if someone is on base. Just in case you have the same problem in Seattle.

 If at Wrigley, I want all the fans to boo him, I want there to at least one game to go to extras, I want the games to be at day time, I want all the fans to shout “The Sun!” every time that the ball comes his way, and I want all the fans to show him why he will never want to play a full nine inning game at Wrigley again. After he goes 0 for 13 in the series, he might say this. “The reason that I committed so many errors, and why i struggled so much is not because of me, it’s because of Chicago. There’s something about this place that I just am never comfortable with. It can’t be me, it has to be Chicago.”
 But when he tears up US Cellular Field against the Sox(not that that’s gonna happen), he’ll have no answer.

The “due diligence” that he talked of last year in defending the move to its myriad detractors has already taken root in my mental list of infamous Chicago sports quotes.

One more thing: I fully expect Milton to have a “resurgent” year under the non-microscope that is the Seattle baseball landscape. He clearly can’t perform under any kind of pressure, take criticism, etc. so he’s in a great position to “excell” in the Pacific Northwest.

and now I don’t know why I did.

"Any time I’ve had a problem anywhere, it’s because I’ve been disrespected," said Bradley, who is playing for his eighth team in 11 seasons. "And I will not be disrespected by anyone."

For some reason it is not in the article that is linked but in a longer version in The Times.

I honestly have no anger towards Bradley. I sincerely hope he can manage his demons and do well, but he needs anger management help.

To think I was actually going to root for him to have a good year in Seattle (and I know what you’re thinking…“Gotta little Drewish in you?”).

But now I hope he fails miserably. F*cking self-centered prick.

So to speak.

But this quote does indeed seem to me as if he were saying it’s all of MY (the average fan) fault that he didn’t do well. Which is kind of not cool, to say the least, considering I was actually rooting for him every day and would not mind overlooking his troubles as long as he played well. I didn’t mind him taking walks instead of getting RBI’s, I thought he was doing a fine job in that part.

But to try and avoid owning up to any mistakes or lack of production and blame us…well. That seems kind of childish.

As childish as his comments may have been, and as unfortunate as his time with the Cubs was, I wish him well in Seattle. Let us all move along and start watching Randy Wells and Ted Lilly tie for the NL Cy Young this year. :D

There has been one constant throughout your tumultuous career…..you.

I said no salt, NO salt for the margarita, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt, floating in the glass…

but eventually the air will clear as long as he stops polluting the internet with his idiotic methane blasts.

Milton’s horrific tenure, however, can still teach us all one thing: take responsibility when you fail. Almost all of us will make mistakes today and many of us will seek to affix blame on someone else. MB shows us in High Definition the perils of living like that. In general, just do the opposite of whatever he does and you’ll usually be ok! Thanks, Milt!

is sign guy Milton, and I’ll be more than happy to see lots of him this season.

Besides Hendry? I threw up the day we signed him and wept like a a baby when we dumped him. When exactly was he good?

…to hit BCB like a tsunami.

He’s gone! Great! Hopefully Hendry won’t make yet another big-money F/U signing.

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.

I was thinking more like an infinite amount of suns and supernovas.
