More Milton Bradley BS

Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald caught up with Milton Bradley on Saturday and his interview with Bradley is very interesting to say the least. Bradley scratched himself from the lineup once again, but did not want to talk about his knee. He did have this to say ... From the Daily Herald ... "... The only time he became expansive at all was when he was asked if he had enjoyed...

From the only real beat writer in town, Bruce Miles: Milton Bradley was a late scratch from Saturday’s Cubs lineup, and it appears he’s scratching himself from the team’s future plans more and more each day. In a brief one-on-one interview Saturday with the Daily Herald, Bradley talked of his unhappiness and said, “you understand why they haven’t won...

Yesterday was an odd day for Milton and the Cubbies.  Well, not odd if you have been keeping track of Bradley’s antics throughout the season.  He took himself out of the game without warning after getting to first base.  All of a sudden he just went trotting into the dugout and right into the clubhouse [...]

But that’s OK! Because RBI is one of those stats that is part of baseball fans’ (and media members’ and players’) DNA, even though there are several stats more indicative of a hitter’s true worth. Like OPS! Oh, Bradley is only OPS’ing .776. Not terrible, but not great. Anyway, after last night’s win against the Brewers [...]

For Chicago Cubs right fielder Milton Bradley, his first season in the Windy City playing for the Cubs has not been the best time of his life. After signing a three-year $30 million contract with the team over the winter Bradley has hit .257 with an OPS of .775, with 12 home runs and only 40 runs driven in.Not exactly the kind of production either he or the team were looking for.Of course,

Our good friends over at Amazin Avenue had a very interesting post a couple of weeks ago about the Mets acquiring troubled OF Milton Bradley. It’s a high risk/ high reward type of deal, but with the cash strapped Wilpon’s it might be the biggest splash possible. However, the proposed deal of Luis Castillo and [...]

Milton Bradley's career with the Cubs may be over even sooner than has been speculated. The mercurial right fielder is not with the team today in St. Louis and is believed to be on his way back to Chicago.

Just when you thought the Cubs' season couldn't get any stranger, there was Milton Bradley taking himself out of the game Thursday with a long, slow walk across the diamond without warning or any sign of a trainer or pinch-runner.

... and you should be grateful. AN deputy blogger baseballgirl is wistful: We remember Milton Bradley for all of his dramatic moments during the season and the playoffs, and it has been widely accepted that he lead the A's to their postseason berth, but the numbers simply don't bear that out. Bradley only played in 96 games in 2006, hitting .276 with 14 home runs (one very...

Unless you have been living under a rock for the 2009 MLB season, you know that the Chicago Cubs have failed miserably to live up to expectations.  If you ARE living under that rock, you have probably still heard Milton Bradley’s constant complaining and overall bad attitude that has done anything but help the team’s situation. Bradley signed a three year, $30 million...

The 2009 Chicago Cubs season is winding down. This means two things: It's time to look forward to football full-time (most of you already have) and it's time to evaluate the worst members of the 2009 Cubs. Nothing went right for this bunch in 2009.  They were picked by nearly everyone to run away with the National League Central Division.  They were picked by many...
