Someone threw Milton Bradley a shovel...

[ChasHawk]

I agree with the last two posts.

Even though I will still rip him for his past "run-ins", I will root for him to fix whatever is causing these "personal issues".

He's had 12 seasons to "fix" whatever.
This is all team spin, pure and simple.

It's a "team spin" when he's finally got an organization, including players, managers and upper-management who are willing to SUPPORT him and help him, instead of just throw him out on his ass when things go bad?? As well as fans who are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I mean really, a "team spin"?? Jack Z. just threw Eric Byrnes out on his ass cause he couldn't produce. It's widely known that he'd do the same with Bradley if he started acting up, and they'd eat the money on his contract, but this team realizes the support-system around him and is WILLING to help him.

Everyone knows Bradley has issues, but I'd like to hear about one team in the past that has been willing to HELP him with it...

I guess at the end of the day, this is the difference between Cubs and M's fans. Cubs fans ripped him from Day 1 and continued to do so until the last day. M's fans (for the most part) embraced him when he came him, understanding that this ORGANIZATION may be able to help him turn around, and if it doesn't, then so be it. BUT, we're willing to TRY and give him the benefit of the doubt.

See, this right here is one of the GLARING problems with the national perception of the Cubs.

"Cubs fans" are not the jag-offs you see on TV with their cell phone up their ass for the entire game, and 8 beer cups stacked up in their other hand. Those are just the doitch bags who can afford the extortionary ticket prices.

I, and many other Cubs fans gave Bradley the benefit of the doubt until he started to act like the ass-bag that he is.

He actually had 1 good year in Texas. Why didn't they want him back?

God, you Cubs fans are truly pathetic. Still ripping on Milton and trying to bring him down. Get over him and yourself and worry more about why the Cubs haven't done anything in 100+ years. Maybe this is why. Also, enjoy Carlos Silva because it's only a matter of time until he reverts back to the mean. What did Milton really do to you guys that was so terrible

:lol:

I love that fans of so many other teams constantly feel the need to talk shat about the Cubs.

Kind of like you how feel the need to talk **** about Bradley still? I'm not ripping the fans because they like the Cubs and they suck, I'm ripping them because they feel the need to keep bringing down Bradley like this for no good reason. No one feels the need to rip on the Cubs, but when the fans do stuff like this they need to be brought back to reality. Laughing in the face of facts or reality is a sign of denial. See the original post.

The OP was by a Brewers fan. Wtf is your point there? :lol:

 

[ChasHawk]

Also, please don't kid yourselves with all the "this organization" malarky.

"This organization" still owes Bradley $21 million, not to mention the $9 million they sent to the Cubs along with Silva.

They were able to easily toss Byrnes aside because his $11 million is owed to him by the Diamondbacks.

So lets hear the next excuse/rip on Cubs fans.

I was referring to my post, quoted above. My bad.

I notice a pattern emerging. It's very subtle, but it's there if you look closely. :lol:

At the end of the day, that money was "lost money" regardless. If they kept Silva, they were going to release him and eat the money anyway, so it doesn't matter if they were to release Bradley at some point, they were going to be out that money regardless.

But you want the next "rip" on Cubs fans...it's the fact that they can't let go...I mean really, you're holding such a HUGE grudge against Bradley when he was there for only a year, is now gone. You bitter much??

Actually, it looks to me like this was bumped and commented on by several people who are in no way Cubs fans.

All I posted was a :lol: , and my opinion about the CURRENT news story before I started responding to all the anti-Cubs crap.

The bitter part to me is all the people who constantly bitch about the Cubs instead of being concerned with their own team.
If they weren't one of the most popular teams in the country, nobody would say a word, and that's what I think is pathetic and funny at the same time. :lol:

But isn't that exactly what you're doing? Focusing on Milton Bradley and his "issues" in Seattle moreso than your own team??

I mean the :lol: is just you focusing on another teams issues...not your own. Really, no one in this thread has brought up Cubs fans/issues until YOU chime in with your "good riddance" and "bitterness". You, focusing on Milton Bradley and his issues now in Seattle are what causes others to bash on Cubs fans...because YOU are proving the point that Cubs fans can't just let go and let him move on and let someone else deal with his issues.

For as much as you're wanted to defend Cubs fans, you're doing a VERY poor job of proving anyone here wrong.

 

[ChasHawk]

Logic, logic, rabble, rabble.

People still hate on Cubs fans for absolutely no reason, and Milton Bradley is still an ass-bag. :lol:

 

[hive17]

This thread has got some odd legs under it. Milton Bradley is a lightening rod for attention it seems. And while I won't comment on how fans view him, i will say that NONE of it would exsist if MB didn't have the *ahem* issues that he does.

 

[lisu]

Looks like Milton is back. Hopefully this time away will help.

hmm, kinda disappointed as I like what I see in Saunders.

think about how good of a defensive outfield they had.. cant think of a better one ever-

RF- Ichiro, 9 gold gloves.. best arm in the bigs, speed, glove, vision.. he is the complete package.

CF- Guti, best UZR of any player at any position last year.. second best UZR of ALL TIME. will gets any ball anywhere. proof the gold glove voting sucks.

LF- Saunders, not elite, but young and can climb a wall. showed a good arm the other day too
