You won't believe that Milton Bradley received racist mail until he shows them to you?

I guess I really don't understand why everyone gets so outraged over the stuff he says. Why do you care? Why are you personally offended?

 

If commenting on it via internet message boards can be considered getting outraged, it's also questionable to get outraged about other's people's reactions on internet message boards.

 

Okay, that's a reach, but really, it just shows the futility of the let's-not-talk-about-it commentary.

I dunno, spazzes talking about wanting Bradley to tear his ACL and fail miserably seems a little bit more than commenting on it. There is an intense loathing of Bradley among the general public that I'll never quite understand. Then again, Cubs fans are hypersensitive morons and once anything is called into question about them they lose it.

:blink: The slave comparison completely threw me. You are being paid millions of dollars. Your job is to listen to the manager and other coaches on when to run, jump, swing, throw, etc. If everybody just decided when they did and didn't want to do things the team would never win in any sport.

In his latest salvo aimed at the Cubs, Milton Bradley claims he wanted manager Lou Piniella to apologize to him in front of his teammates after Piniella called him a "piece of (expletive)" during a confrontation last June.

 

Piniella declined, according to Bradley.

 

"The next day, he called me into his office and wanted to apologize," Bradley told ESPN. "I felt you put me on blast, called me out in front of everybody, you're going to apologize in front of everybody.

 

"He didn't choose to go that route, but I accepted his apology nonetheless, because as a Christian that's what you do. I don't have time to hold grudges against people."

:rotfl:

 

It's actually sad because it's part of his "it's no one else's fault but mine". Judging by his comments throughout his career, he seems to never think it's his fault that people hate him. Like he thinks the world out to get him and only him. He obviously has to know that no other players are getting bounced from several cities, with everyone hating him when he leaves. He blames everyone else but doesn't step out of his shoes and see that there's a trend and the trend is that he is a jackass.

 

If the alledged racist comments were made as frequently as he suggests (or any comments were made at all), then in a way to do sympathise with him. No one deserves that. Not even jackasses like him. But other people's fans making racist comments doesn't make teams dump you for .10 on the dollar. Racist comments don't cause your manager to call you a piece of [expletive] in front of your team during a ballgame. Racist comments don't cause your entire clubhouse to feel a sense of relief when you are suspended for the rest of the year. You are an unbearable [expletive] Milton Bradley and it's time you realize that.

You should get an award for saying something so profound.

 

No one disagrees with what you said.

The person who sent hate mail probably disagrees.

Maybe they didn't have tolerance rallies in that guy's area.

MESA, Ariz. (AP)—Cubs general manager Jim Hendry says Milton Bradley should stop blaming the team, manager and fans for his failure to produce during his tumultuous season in Chicago.

 

“I think it’s time maybe Milton looked himself in the mirror,” an agitated Hendry said Wednesday in response to Bradley’s latest charges that he was mistreated by the Cubs.

 

“He just didn’t swing the bat,” Hendry said. “He didn’t get the job done. It’s really unfortunate that you … try to use the other areas for excuses.”

"I think it's time maybe Hendry looked himself in the mirror," an agitated TruffleShuffle said Wednesday in response to Hendry's latest charges that the terrible 2009 campaign was the fault of others.

 

"He just didn't put together a good team," TruffleShuffle said. "He didn't get the job done. It's really unfortunate that you ... try to use the other areas for excuses."

He's lied about a bunch of things, beginning with him saying he was done talking about the Cubs.

 

When you lie a few times, I no longer believe what you say. It's pretty simple.

Jim Hendry is terrible at his job.

 

Milton Bradley is a pud of unbelievable proportions.

 

The quality of Jim Hendry's performance as GM should have no bearing on one's opinion of Milton Bradley as a public figure. In fact, Hendry has been fairly upfront about his failures as GM over the past year, stating categorically that the Bradley signing was a mistake.

 

Simply because Jim Hendry is a bad general manager does not make me side with Milton Bradley in any way, shape or form in his criticism of the Cubs. Hendry's comments about Bradley are the 1 in a million times I agree with Hendry about anything.

 

Bradley needs to just stop talking and the media needs to stop feeding the situation.

I think the truth lies in the middle. I have absolutely no doubt that Bradley got racist hate mail while he was here. I have a ton of doubt that it came from within the organization or that he was basically encountering racism or even people acting negatively towards him everywhere he went in Chicago.

Not sure why you would say that.

 

Bradley is also insinuating that some of the racist hate mail came from the Cubs organization.

Do you make it a practice of believing what crazy people say without anything to back it up? And you say I'm ridiculous?

Do you believe that Jacque Jones received racist mail? Or was he crazy too? Do you believe Dusty Baker received racist mail? Or was he crazy too? Or did Cubs fans just stop being racist sometime around Winter of '09?

He's saying the racist mail essentially came from Hendry & Co.

 

Can't you see he's psycho?

So did he receive racist mail or not?

jim hendry could also help things out by shutting the [expletive] up. why can't he say "the milton bradley chapter is closed and he's no longer a member of the organization; i don't see any reason to respond to his latest charges."

I don't really know. I do know he's out of his mind and nobody seems to think it is important to at least follow up on some of the details.

 

THAT is ridiculous.

I'm not obsessing, I'm wishing him the best in his future endeavors, hopeful he can get past his upsetting season in Chicago, and move on to live a happy productive life.

 

You're wishing him dead.
