Did anyone see Milton Bradley yesterday?

kcballboy · September 24, 2007 4:31AM

What a moron. Hurts his knee when his own manager tosses him to the ground for being a dip$hit. I still can't believe the Royals traded for him earlier in the year.

Barndog · September 24, 2007 4:49AM

Milton Bradley's persona should come as no surprise. He carries baggage and it's a well-known fact.

softparade · September 24, 2007 7:32AM

I heard on the radio today that their are witnesses who say the ump baited Bradley big time by running his mouth non stop and using profanity. Also, the radio report said the Bradley camp is ready to file a law suit against the ump.

Now, NONE OF THIS is my view or opinion. Is is JUST what I heard in a radio report today. I saw none of this happen and did not know about it until the radio report.

perkdog · September 24, 2007 7:56AM

No matter what, the fact remains the same- Bradley is a complete idiot.

stitzen · September 24, 2007 8:03AM

If Bradley was indeed baited by the ump (and it would appear so by seeing the first base coach there before Bradley even started), then that ump should be fired.

AlbertanDude · September 24, 2007 9:26AM

Sighhhhhhhhhh......I'm sure will hear the race card being played somehow ad nauseum!!

FifthScaleRacer · September 24, 2007 11:41AM

Milton Bradley is a borderline nut case.

But that doesn't give the ump the right to bait him. I'd like to know exactly what the ump said.

Looks like the 1st base coach and the opposing 1st baseman are also saying the ump was baiting Bradley..if so..fire his ass!

FifthScaleRacer · September 24, 2007 11:43AM

<< Sighhhhhhhhhh......I'm sure will hear the race card being played somehow ad nauseum!! >>

Sighhhhhhhhhhh......well you just made sure we all heard about it first didn't you?

You would too if your parents named you Milton

BobaFett72 · September 24, 2007 11:19PM

this bozo should have been run out of baseball a long time ago. Supremely talented (which allows teams to keep giving him chances) but ultimately this guy keeps coming back like anal warts on a hooker

any good puns regarding his name? maybe his middle name should be "Sorry"

It was always entertaining when the Tribe had this clown and CoCo Crisp.... I was embarassed by their ridiculous names lol.

Brian48 · September 25, 2007 2:40AM

Bradley is a moron and has always been a ticking timebomb. That said, I think the ump was culpable in instigating this incident. He should be fined or suspended as well.

Stingray · September 25, 2007 2:49AM

stitzen · September 25, 2007 2:58AM

I am so glad people have already convicted Bradley as being the wrong doer here...when it's apparent to anyone with a functioning brain the ump was at fault.

kcballboy · September 25, 2007 4:16AM

My brain function is telling me that as a professional getting paid millions, Bradley should have the maturity to shut up and play the game. His team is in the playoff hunt and he's going to risk suspension by running his trap? Regardless of what the ump may be doing, get a witness, file a complaint, and worry about helping your team. All he did was hurt them this year and next.

If this were his first case of stupidity I would be more inclined to sympathize for him, but since he's a proven malcontent I don't feel bad for the guy.

stown · September 25, 2007 4:24AM

100%

dirtmonkey · September 25, 2007 4:26AM

<< My brain function is telling me that as a professional getting paid millions, Bradley should have the maturity to shut up and play the game. >>

True, but people pay to watch him... The ol' saying is that nobody pays to watch the umpires. They are simply supposed to do their jobs and not get into verbal battles with players. If what's being said is true, the ump was interrupting a player and the game by making comments. This has a potential effect on the outcome of the game IMO. If an ump makes an argument personal, he may make calls against a player/team simply because of that. Further, in this case, he got a player to react and then the player was subsequently injured while a manager attempted to restrain him. Bradley may be an idiot with a history, but the umpire isn't being paid to fight with players. If he continued to instigate Bradley, he should be suspended.

BobaFett72 · September 25, 2007 4:27AM

Is it just me, or do you come to the defense of every douche bag in professional sports? LOL just an observation.. first "The Dog Whisperer/killer/rapist Vick" and now this bozo. Perhaps this incident WAS a result of umpire baiting, but Bradley is widely recognized AND criticized for being a negative, injury prone, cancerous lesion of a player.

stown · September 25, 2007 4:29AM

<< what's being said is true, the ump was interrupting a player >>

From what I heard, Bradley is the one who started talking.. Telling the ump that he didn't throw the bat.

If that's true, Bradley keeps his mouth shut and nothing happens.

dirtmonkey · September 25, 2007 4:34AM

I hope you're talking about Ax and not me.

<< From what I heard, Bradley is the one who started talking.. Telling the ump that he didn't throw the bat.

I've heard different stories already, but me stance remains the same. Even if a player tries to argue with them, they need to ignore him unless he's breaking the rules. If that's the case, kick his a$$ out instead of arguing with him during the middle of the game.

BobaFett72 · September 25, 2007 4:36AM

lol yes dirtmoney. we are talking about axhole

I almost had to go postal on your arse

stitzen · September 26, 2007 2:13PM

Interesting note, it seems Milton was justified, as the ump involved has been suspended for the rest of the year.

rube26105 · September 26, 2007 3:34PM

it would really suck to be named after a board game comany!

stown · September 26, 2007 11:39PM

Winters was suspended for using profanity.

Per the SD Tribune, he called Bradley, “(bleeping) piece of (expletive).”

Guess the truth hurt Bradley's feelings and then he threw a temper tantrum, which resulted in a torn ACL.

The ump was still in the wrong, but the outcome is almost as funny as the player that hurt himself while celebrating.

rube26105 · September 27, 2007 1:34AM

ha ive been called a (bleeping ) piece of (explicitive)too barry lol-me and ump might start a club , the bleep club,new board game by milton bradley,i bet he got screwed with his whole life in school because of his name ,like dike poel/dick trickle mike kuntz lol-kids can be so cruel,especailly this generation,they are precious lol

stown · September 27, 2007 2:11AM

<< The ump was still in the wrong >>

I agree with you 100%.

Regardless of what Bradley said to instigate the whole thing, Winters should have just brushed off the comments and kept his mouth shut.

stitzen · September 27, 2007 6:28AM

<< Regardless of what Bradley said to instigate the whole thing, Winters should have just brushed off the comments and kept his mouth shut. >>

But Bradley isn't said to have said anything, only the ump.

The ump was clearly out of line and this is why he's done for the year - and deservedly so.

Good for Bradley.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Actual game footage link

Go to 00:37 and Bradley is mouthing off the entire time.

Another example of Tinkerbell revising history to fit her agenda

You apparently failed to read my post, didn't you? So quick to judge! I said, and I'll quote myself:

<< 
But Bradley isn't said to have said anything, only the ump.
>>

Why don't you guys ever, ever read? I clearly stated he 'isn't said to have said anything', clearly different from stating 'he didn't say anything'.

Christ you guys are pathetic.

bigfische · September 27, 2007 11:44AM

talking in circles isnt making you look any more right.

learn to admit when you are wrong.

stitzen · September 27, 2007 11:48AM

<< talking in circles isnt making you look any more right.

All I said is that it was said that Bradley didn't say anything to start it...I didn't say he didn't!

Nobody is 'talking in circles' here...just people like you and your ilk who would rather point fingers than actually READ.

bigfische · September 27, 2007 11:51AM

Bradley isn't said to have said anything."

I read that just fine. You can play with the meaning of that sentence as much as you want, but you will always be wrong.

what words did i miss read?

stitzen · September 27, 2007 11:56AM

What part of 'bradley isn't said to have said anything'? Hmmm?

I'll break it down for those slow to comprehend: it's means that initial reports indicated Bradley didn't say anything.

There, got it now? Good!

stown · September 27, 2007 12:02PM

I was against the guarantee before I was for it.

stitzen · September 27, 2007 12:06PM

I like how stownie tries to derail the topic once he's seen he made a mistake (yet again).

Oh well...anyone who's been reading this thread and has basic English skills knows what was said.

grote15 · September 27, 2007 12:09PM

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

bigfische · September 27, 2007 12:23PM

wait, his post game interview were he says he talked to the ump first wasnt the initial report?

stown · September 27, 2007 12:25PM

<< I like how stownie tries to derail the topic once he's seen he made a mistake (yet again). >>

Huh?!?

No, it's proving that once again you attempt to change context of what you say after YOU are proven wrong.

As usual.

He didn't say what he thought he did say but in actuality he didn't say when he did say that he didn't say a word.

stitzen · September 27, 2007 12:30PM

Look, you clowns are going to believe whatever you want, but the FACTS are the following:

I posted that the initial reports stated he didn't say anything to the ump (my post stating 'its said that he didn't say anything')

I then posted that the ump was tossed (rightfully so) for the rest of the season.

Then you all piled on for some unknown reason, perhaps its all part of the same sickness in which you stalk everything I post, who knows.

All I know is what I said was accurate, that I didn't state that Bradley didn't say anything first, and I know you guys need to get over me already.

I am done in this thread, no matter how many more lies and mistruths you post about what i said.

bigfische · September 27, 2007 12:33PM

ok, whatever you say, but he clearly said he talked first ibn the post game interview, i.e., the initial report. Just because you heard wrong doesnt make us wrong.

stown · September 27, 2007 12:34PM

Hmmm... For some odd reason, you keep cutting your previous statement short.

<< But Bradley isn't said to have said anything, only the ump. >>

Gee, I wonder why...

Probably because it changes the entire context of your statement.

Just admit you were wrong, as usual, and move on.

WeekendHacker · May 6, 2011 5:33PM

Old thread; known head case; still out of control; wasted talent; same old story - every time; doesn't have a clue of the bigger picture; always has an excuse; still getting tossed out of games; just go away - you are a very poor example of a 'professional' baseball player.

PowderedH2O · May 7, 2011 5:24PM

This is one of the places where I find similarity scores interesting. He is rated as a 968, and a #1 match with Michael Cuddyer. So, statistically, they are extremely close. Could there be two guys any more different aside from stats? Cuddyer has been with the Twins for 11 seasons (his entire career) and has never been in any trouble and is basically known as a good guy in the clubhouse and in Minnesota. And there's Milton Bradley... not so much. Eight teams so far and almost as many suspensions.

RoarIn84 · May 8, 2011 9:18AM

Incredible embarrassment to the game. Cries over EVERY called strike, doesn't hustle, fights with everyone including fans, and is first giving himself props for whatever job he does well. Why do teams continue signing this clown?

WeekendHacker · May 8, 2011 6:02PM

<< Why do teams continue signing this clown? >>

There is no possible way he is on an MLB team once his current contract expires - NO POSSIBLE WAY - NONE!!

In fact, you heightened his image by honoring him as a clown.

PowderedH2O · May 9, 2011 2:57AM

If this idiot gets on some sort of a hitting roll near the end of the season and puts up decent numbers, some team will take him on. Jermaine Dye can't get a gig, but Milton Bradley can. Sheesh!

WeekendHacker · May 9, 2011 7:20AM

Looks like the Mariners woke up and kicked this fool to the curb. Audios - good luck finding a job anywhere!!

quincunx · May 9, 2011 9:36AM

I was a mariners fan since the kingdome double header days of 76-77. The signing of carl everett then the "trade" for miserably bradley made me an ex fan and could care less if they match the pirates for losing season. Why is it when they do sign a free agent they flop? sexson/beltre/figgins/silva and im sure im messing another 20 or so...

Did anyone see Milton Bradley yesterday?
