A friend who is a Cub fan told me Bradley lost a flyball in the sun earlier in the game and that was why he caught the ball like he did. I have no idea of the
veracity of the story it was just one theory from a Cub fan.

When I saw it I didn't think he was posturing or showing off. He had a miserable couple of innings losing a ball in the sun and he also had a baserunning
gaffe. The deep breath was a sigh of relief after actually doing something right in the game; he was just too stupid to remember he only had 1 out before the
catch, not 2.

I was perplexed this winter that the media unanimously hailed the Bradley signing as a smart move. He's had 10 years of major league service but only twice
has he surpassed the miminum plate appearances for a batting title. Last year was one of those seasons because he had 415 plate appearances as a DH. Because of
injuries and suspensions he's been a parttime player his entire career.
It was a stupid move for the Cubs. He's not a $10 million a year player. Not one media type called them out for this.

I love seeing Lee in the foreground yelling and waving once he sees Bradley posing.

Well, considering his BABIP was over .400 last year, is anyone really surprised that he´s dropped off a lot this year? Add on top of that his character issues,
and the signing was quite a bad one for the Cubs.

I don't think he was being cocky after he caught it. He had just blown a routine pop up and lost it in the sun so he was breathing a sigh of relief at
having caught the second one...before he winged it in the stands. Not cocky, just stupid.
Untuck'em for Rickie!!! |

Looks like Bradley may have had another incident today:
Bradley and Pinella Exchange Words He was pulled from the game after a 6th inning at-bat and exchanging words with Pinella. I didn't personally see it, so I can't say how heated it got. |

Naturally I hope the Cubs go on a winning streak so we get to hear ESPN talk about how Piniella's motivational
leadership has fueled yet another surge.

A round up from NSBB:
Lou Piniella told Milton Bradley to take his uniform off and go home. Bradley smashed the cooler and reacted angrily. They then had words in the clubhouse. Apparently throwing helmets and overreaction has been a common occurrence and Lou's been tired of it. No physical confrontation. |

If reincarnation is for real, I hope I never come back as a Cubs dugout beverage container of any kind.

So it's ok when Lou throws a tantrum but not Milton?

It's like the equivalent of the Bears signing Terrell Owens, thinking they finally solved their problems at a position of need, only to see him under-perform and completely implode on multiple levels. The Cubs signed Bradley thinking he'd give them a power bat that can hit from the left side of the plate (they were so hung up on being too-right handed), knowing full well that he had the kind of personality that probably wouldn't play well in a large market. All we need is a teary-eyed press conference or two from Milton and we're set.

Duane Kuiper, one of the Giants' announcers (and Racine lad), had a pretty funny line tonight: (dry as a bone) "Bradley...he's...he's not
having a good time in Chicago, is he?"
My 2009 Milwaukee Brewers: "It's what he does."
