You've gotta be kidding.

I wish our other guys could match the passion Milton Bradley has on this team.

It takes a lot of passion to slam a bat down like that. He is a role model for the rest of the team to look up to.

It just seems like most of this team is content with sucking to me. I was at the game yesterday and saw the team (and Lou) hanging with Lovitz 5 minutes before the game started.

If we don't trade Bradley for a bag of baseballs in the offseason, I think I'm going to get a Bradley jersey.

 

At this point, it's almost fun to root for him just because so many know-nothings don't like him.

Oooh! Call me an idiot and post obscure stats to show that he's just a slight disappointment instead of a major flop that a lot of people think he is. That'll show me.

Last time the CUBS allowed 2 sac bunts in a game.... Thur 20 Aug 09 in a 7-2 loss at Los Angeles

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Last time the CUBS allowed 7 walks in a game.... Sat 01 Aug 09 (9 BBs) in an 9-8 win at Florida

And then the majority of our fans are going to be wondering why we did that when they both have rebound years next year.

Obscure? How about 7 for 9 against the Mets this weekend? How about last 7 days hes got a batting average(Ill keep it simple for you) of .545 and slugging over .950. How about since the All Star Break hes hitting (again Ill use batting average for you so its not such an obscure stat) .313 and getting on base 43% of the time.

 

But you are right, he hasnt been having quality at bats and just the obscure stats show you dont know wtf you are talking about, when in reality its all stats that show you dont know wtf you are talking about.

Yep. That's why I hope we get a GM with a brain this offseason.

But you are right, he hasnt been having quality at bats and just the obscure stats show you dont know wtf you are talking about, when in reality its all stats that show you dont know wtf you are talking about.

Sure he's been great lately, but he's OPSing .819 for the season. WHOOPEE! Look, I'm not one of the idiots that think we need to dump him at all costs, but he needs to step it up next season. Plus, he needs to stop being such a whiny baby and act like a professional. Then again, a lot of guys on this team need to do the same.
