Bored Game

After the Cubs sent Milton Bradley’s unappreciative ass to Seattle, I figured that we had heard the last of him.  Unfortunately we have not.  Uncle Milty blamed Chicago for his sub-par performance in 2009.  He was quoted as saying, “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.”

Let’s break this down…

First off, I will agree that Milton played two years ago and had a good season.  But THAT’S IT!  He had one good season and it was in Texas, one of the most hitter friendly parks in the game.  Not to mention, it was probably the first team that he’s been to that had a more dysfunctional player (Josh Hamilton) already on the team.

Yeah, you went to Chicago and you were not good.  Getting ejected after your first Cubs at-bat was clear indication of what was yet to come.  I have much appreciation for Jim Hendry due to his acquistions of Ramirez and Lee.  But since then, he hasn’t done shit.  I’m starting to wonder if he’s been hitting the bong with Geo before going to dinner with potential players.  To give Milton $30 million, you gotta be on something!

Milton has not ‘been good’ his whole career.  If he would’ve been good as a player and a human being, he wouldn’t be on his 8th team in 11 seasons of major league baseball.

On behalf of the Cubs, I apologize Milton.  Not only did they project that you’d hit 30 homeruns, but they also expected you to remember how many outs there are in any given inning.  They understand how much pressure this may have put on you.  I hope Japan is your next destination.  That way you’ll be forced to play baseball because no one will understand what you’re saying when you start to cry.  Hit the bricks!
