And truly I feel sorry for him. He thinks he’s been traded or not re-signed by teams because of his injury history only? Please.

I know this is harsh, but, I dislike him more than any Cub that ever played. He ALWAYS has a excuse for everything and that not only doesn’t work in baseball… it doesn’t work in life. Go somewhere with that bullshit Milton.

He’s on a team that’s excited to have him, and he can’t let go of this? Ugh, whatever.

Hate mail delivered by someone in the organization? This guy’s gone off the deep end. It’s totally ridiculous.

one post a week about him?

but even saying that even people in the organization might have send it is stupid. And why or who would insult his three year old son? You’d have to be pretty low to do that.

I mean, seriously the questions asked were both pretty ridiculous, and incredibly leading.

The part I loved? I only got hate mail in Oakland, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Oh, so basically, in half the cities you played in? what was the point of that comment?

And the big, bad interviewer forgot to ask you about how your wife kept repeatedly hitting your fist with her body when you were in L.A.

MB criticized Lou in the interview because he called him a “piece of s…” in “front of everybody” but didn’t apologize in the same way, doing it in the privacy of the manager’s office, instead. As I recall, Lou did tell the press he was sorry . So, in short, MB wasn’t entirely truthful in the ESPN interview when he criticized Lou. Furthermore, the reporter didn’t question MB’s accuracy.

have fun hitting .250 this year and destroying another team

Crybaby

…was smiling when she asked “did you fear for your life in Chicago?”

Ugh. Stupidity at it’s finest.

However, this is news about a former Cub, so worth posting.

I don’t think I have ever seen a professional athlete who pulls out the victim card as much as MB does. It’s really sad.

Milty seems like a guy who might send hate mail to himself.

I’ve said this before, but why keep opening it? Have an intern open all your mail, and only show you the legitimate requests for an autograph or “well-written” letters. Why subject yourself to the product of what may be a half-dozen idiots in a city of millions of people?

I would be very surprised if the Cubs org. did not address these accusations….what a smear on our city and our team. When Hendry brought this guy in we lost more than clubhouse chemistry….he’s a blight on the city of Chicago, and will be for years to come.

I knew he wasn’t going to stay on the “high road” for long.
That takes “class” and Milton has zero.

Can’t help but think of this every time I hear the latest about Bradley. The guy probably swears the eye on the back of the dollar bill winked at him once.

So they interview the village idiot (Milton Bradley) to say things about the Chicago Cubs. He pissed and moaned during his time with the Cubs despite the fact that Jim Hendry handed him the keys to the kingdom with a three year $30 million deal. Milton never once asked himself what he had to do to get himself shoved out the door because that is not a contract that is usually traded. Instead, he looks to external tormentors. What a jerk.

Milton Bradley says Chicago is a tough place for African-American players to play unless they’re Hall of Famers, but I’m pretty sure the Shawon-O-Meter never rose much higher than .278, and we loved Shawon Dunston.

If you want to hate the Cubs, fine, hate the Cubs. But leave us alone. Not everyone is going to get along with everyone, so why waste the time to vent about people who DO NOT care about you whatsoever? You go your way, Milton, we’ll go ours. Just let it be, and stay away forever.

…and I don’t know what to think. On the one hand, Milton comes off as such an intelligent, earnest guy…I want to at least give him the benefit of the doubt on some of what he says (the restaurant incident, for instance).

On the other hand, so much of what he says is just a vague puzzle of hard-to-believe oddities. I still find the incident involving his child hard to believe or understand. And he’s being given hand-delivered hate mail? Really?

At the end of the day, it’s just too exhausting to try and figure all this out. The only thing it does bring some clarity to is the ridiculousness of the notion that he was ever coming back.

for pete’s sake. LET IT GO, Cubs Fans.

Ryan Dempster responds to the Bradley interview:

Asked again about the Bradley interview, Dempster said: “I didn’t see it — what was it, bad coffee in Seattle?”

The attitude in Cubs camp is that they’ve moved on since Bradley left.

“I try to forget the last pitch I threw,” Dempster said. “We can’t control the past and tomorrow might not come. You just live in the present and enjoy the present and how wonderful it is that we get to play baseball for a living in such a great city like Chicago with the best fans in the world in such a great organization like this. I’m glad I’m here with the Cubs and having a great time with a great bunch of guys and looking forward to this season.”

And this pathetic dribble is exactly why… I understand that to them, this is “relevant,” but seriously, is it really necessary? This guy is seriously going to blame EVERYONE and EVERYTHING for his struggles in Chicago… EVERYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF! I can’t believe this guy, if you’re black you get hate mail in Chicago? WHAT?!?!?! Two words, Gameboard: SAMMY SOSA. That guy was an icon in this city, and yeah, it didn’t end well, but seriously black, white, yellow, green, pink (Sam Fuld, lol) IT DOESN’T MATTER! If you produce, you will be liked. If you don’t, people will boo you. It’s not the city, Milt, it’s not the fans, Milt… IT’S THE GOD AWFUL NUMBERS YOU put up and how YOU reacted to it. Go away, stay under the Mendoza line, and shut your fool mouth in the future.

At some point, I bet ESPN does one of their movie special things, like the ones about The U or Bird/Magic, and it’s going to be about Milton. That pains me.

Someone has to stand up for our Beloved City and Team publically! Enough already! …..and I want more

I will be happy when his contract is up and he is no longer employed in the major leagues. I have to imagine he will cause problems in Seattle that will make him untouchable to any sane GM. He will be two years older with skills that are already on the decline. What a miserable piece of human waste.

Silva may be a crappy pitcher but after MB garbage I embrace him.

Reaction from Mariners fans at Lookout Landing

They’re taking attacks on individuals (Al). That’s classy…attack a guy for following a different baseball team and running a different site.
