Bradley Suspended for the Rest of the Season

[A-Cal]

so wait, do people think the suspension is BS because he shouldn't have been or because of the public fashion it was executed in?

 

I dont think anything he said deserved being suspended for.

 

do you think there may possibly be some "behind the scenes" incidents that we aren't privy to though?

[Keener98]

Yep, everyone who disagrees with it is lying to themselves. Come on.

 

How is that his own teammates have basically called him a douche if they really didn't feel that way? His teammates let him have it. This is not some conspiracy agains't poor Milty.

 

Yea Im sure Cubs players feel real confortable coming out and defending him right now. Yea that will sure earn you praises from Hendry.

guys, stop feeding the troll. i'm pretty sure that nothing we post can change his mind about anything or make him any less insane.

 

His idiocy is so pervasive on the boards right now that I can barely bring myself to visit. I can't believe the mods have allowed him to troll for so long.

I sure hope so. Joe Sheehan pointed this out...

 

"the last non-drug-related suspension of this length was Albert Belle's, and he threw a baseball at a fan who was heckling him from the stands."

 

For a few comments at the media to spark such an action? It's absurd. People haven't been suspended this long when they've been accused of beating their wives.

I don't think that's a fair description of what his teammates said. I agree with this suspension, I just think your arguments and reasoning are mind numbing.

 

I didn't say the used the exact term, but they let him have it pretty good. Again, this not a conspiracy to get Bradley.

LOL! Like they couldn't say: "No comment". It's astounding people are defending him.

I'm a troll because I 100% disagree with you? Interesting logic.

Yea thats my point Im getting in this. Even if there is behind the scenes stuff, there has been alot worse done by Cubs in front of the cameras that didnt garner a suspension. Yet somehow this does? Its BS and I really hope Milton and the MLBPA files an appeal and wins. This just sets a terrible precedent.

Bradley tried the "no comment" thing, and his manager and GM jumped his ass for it.

TOTALLY different. That was after game stuff. His teammates were asked how they felt about the suspension and they answered it. Do you really think if they thought Milton was such a great guy they would said what they said about him? I'm sure many have bit their tongues all year regarding this guy.

[KingCubsFan]

I agree with what you are saying, and thats part of my point. Z's past behavior is pretty damn checkered, and the Cubs have overlooked it for years. Like you said the Cubs overlooked it because of how he performed. So in essence, as long as you perform, the Cubs will overlook your actions.

Are you Michael Barrett's cousin or something? What did Zambrano do to you to hate him so much? Sure, he's immature, does stupid things, and overall seems pretty self-centered. But Piniella has aired him out in public too, and his actions have all come during the game, which isn't surprising since he's so competitive. There's clearly more behind the scenes than we all know about regarding Bradley. The fact that no teammate even attempted to defend him speaks volumes, and it has nothing to do with them being "afraid" of Hendry.

You're continually asserting incorrect things after being corrected multiple times. That's an obvious failure to engage in a rational debate, and shows that you have no interest in listening to opinions other than your own. That's pretty much the definition of trolling.

thank you

 

the whole "afraid" of hendry thought process is definitely a curious take on the situation

 

if anyone should be afraid in the midst of this sham of a season it is hendry, and he keeps taking it to the next level

[cubstitlelives]

 

when did they do this?

 

He's over exaggerating just a smidge. He's in full, defend Bradley to no end mode.

No, I have no interest in the three or four Bradley defenders telling me how unfair we all have been to him. That's a joke.

So you admit to trolling? That's a bold move.

Ha I dont hate Z at all. Im trying to be realistic in this and pointing out how Bradley is being made a scapegoat. Big deal Lou aired him out in public, he didnt suspend him did he? And thanks for making my point, Z gets overlooked for being "competitve" while Bradley gets called a dick. Z punched a damn teammate on the bench and didnt get a suspension, if you dont think thats worse than Bradley saying something, than your hatred for Bradley has completely clouded your judgement.

 

Are you really that naive to think that if the players wanted to defend him they would? Bradley just got suspended for making comments, and everybody knows he wont be with the team next year, why in the hell would a guy risk his job by speaking out against Hendrys decision? Come on

[cubstitlelives]

So you admit to trolling? That's a bold move.

 

WOW!!! WHAT??????

 

No, it's called I DISAGREE 100% with you. What do you not understand about that?

You also admitted you have no interest in a rational discussion about it. That's trolling.

Bradley has not been speaking to the media, and he again refused to comment to most reporters Thursday. But he pulled aside the Cubs reporter for MLB.com to vent against the press.

 

Cubs officials have asked him to talk to the press and Piniella said dealing with the public through the media is part of a ballplayer's job

 

Thats just 2 of the comments I can find real quick.

[Keener98]

Well if anyone knows about over-exaggerating its certainly you.

HMM, doesn't seem like an ass chewing to me.

ETA: I see the end of Zambrano's career being similar to the end of Sammy's. All a sudden the stories will come out about how disruptive he was, how great it was to not have to worry about a locker room divided. Nobody shovels dirt on the grave of a former player like the Cubs.

 

 

Were good, but I think the Red Sox have us beat.
