    You act like last year was a fluke year, yet he's had 3 seasons of over .900 OPS, and had a 1.004 OPS with the Padres of all teams in the 42 games he played there. Come on. You can't just say "he's had 3 season with an OPS over .900." In 2007 he had only 144 at-bats. In 2003 he had 377. Last year he had 414. That's not even 2 full seasons worth of at-bats, let alone 3. Bottom line is he has a career .823 OPS in like 3,000 at-bats. I just don't understand why everybody was so sure he'd be awesome. I though he'd be pretty good, but not some middle of the lineup force. Just a switch hitting bat who can hit .850+ from both sides of the plate. Milton Bradley career OPS as a lefty- .798

    it's .890 (.292/.390/.500) over the last five seasons. his age 22 suckitude means diddly poo; why you choose to continually embarrass yourself by citing career numbers is puzzling. Uhh, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's played to those career numbers for many of the last several years. As in 2004, 2005, 2006, and part of 2007. Saying he's been an .890 OPS guy for the last 5 seasons is pretty ridiculous. He's been a 1.000 OPS hitter for the last 600 at-bats (before this season) spread out over the least 2 season and then played to his career totals the previous 3 seasons. for the better part of the last 5 years, he's played to his career totals.

    http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/may/20/n70258234820-peavy-trade-chicago-white-sox-may-be-/ Buster Olney also just mentioned it on ESPN and said he thinks it will probably get done.

    Almost blew another one tonight. Walked the bases loaded to put the tying run at 3rd with 1 out but then struck the next 2 out. He looked really weird without the goatee. It reminded me of the 20 K game.

    If he was consistently that good he would be a hall of fame caliber player so clearly it was an outlier season for him. But we are comparing him to Jacque Jones and David Delucci and I will be comfortable with him on my team any day over those two. The point is that none of the 3 have had very good careers yet bradley was talked about as some stud hitter all offseason

    So you don't think Bradley's .999 OPS last season in Texas was a fluke, even though he's a career .825 OPS guy?

    i know. that's what we said. Yea I dont know what else you would call it. it's the same thing with his constant hit and runs when we're not scoring, calling out guys when they have one bad game, trying soriano out of the leadoff spot multiple times but only for a game or 2 (and then claiming he actually tried it), bencing good hitters because they make a defensive mistake even though the alternative is clearly worse, etc....

    i know. that's what we said.

    I've been saying it for a while. Lou is a panic machine, and that's the last thing this team needs. It's not surprising that his teams keep choking in the playoffs. He just keeps getting worse and worse as he gets older.

    this guy can rake! .999 ops last season! please stay healthy milton! forget his career .825 OPS.... this guy is a force!

    I feel sad watching Wood in Cleveland. He's had a rough go of it. Tonight he blew another game... this time blowing a 3 run lead by giving up 4. Went like this- Ground out HR HR Walk Triple Sac Fly :(

    lol sure he is. that was not a risk, it was a stupid ass play. there were 3 guys right in his face. the funny thing is that if he didn't have his standard blowout (seriously, is there a skater who has them more frequently than brian campbell?) he still probably would have been able to get back and prevent the 3rd skater from scoring

    haha daywalker. i was hoping there was a way i could make fun of his complexion

    ughh I HATE BRIAN CAMPBELL seriously, how does that happen? use your head moron

    [expletive] brian campbell. worthless piece of trash makes stupid mistakes like that constantly. it was only a matter of time before it cost us a game in the playoffs. we had a good run, but it looks like its winding down
