This is priceless. We have been dealing with Milton’s shit in Seattle for the last year; nervous breakdown, extended medical leave due to emotional problems etc. And HORRIBLE performance on the field. I would forgive the guy, like Mike Vick, if he could actually fucking PERFORM. As of today, he is in the hands of the California Corrections due to threat of bodily harm against a woman. Done with this D-Bag. Go to Canada; we done wit’ ya in the US, Bradley.

Good God! How much do you have to shoot off your mouth to get Milton Bradley to tell you to cool it?

The Cubs could also have him come back next year, he’ll rake, and everything will be right in the world.

I haven’t seen anything yet. Interestingly enough, Grow Stubs Grow was telling me that Bradley’s mom was on the Loop yesterday morning doing an interview with Johnny B. Apparently, Milton called her right after the interview was over and told her not to do any more interviews. I suspect someone told him that he should put a gag order on his mom before she slanders another teacher.

Have you seen if anyone has done any follow-up on the teacher accusations? It’s one thing to point to a bunch of drunken assholes in the stands and saying, “some of those people over there said racist things to me,” it’s totally fucking serious when you say that a specific person in the educational system has called a three-year old the n-word.

i know, i just dont understand why we should trade for a guy who makes jason marquis look like a better option. ugh, oliver perez. pretty much, ugh, the mets. Say what you will about us and our age and contracts, i’m just glad that we a) dont have to pay for a new stadium thats already broken down and b) players that are roughly the same age as ours, only coming off of massive crippling season ending injuries, (ESPECIALLY the players who are speed based getting leg injuries) c) no depth at pitching past santana d) in a ballpark thats based around the brooklyn dodgers and makes petco look small.

good luck to that team, and in that division. and what about, say, luis castillo or…..(checks mets roster) wow, there is NOTHING on there worth trading for (that they would trade of course.)

can we convince riccardi to take the contract? his past mistakes seem to indicate its possible…

I say we suspend Cubs baseball for a period of two years. Trade away any talent we have at the AAA and above level for money (to pay current salaries we can’t dump) and a shitload of prospects. Use the next two years to stock the farm team. Also tear down that shithole park and build a new one during this time period. Come 2012 we’ll have a new park, a young team, low payroll; the chads and trixies will have found something else to do with their summer afternoons so they’ll be gone…basically the Cubs will be set for the future for the first time in my life.

Ryan Beariot for post of the fucking season!

I for one hope they don’t blow this team completely up. DLee is still solid, Aramis had a freak injury, and despite Big Z’s overall nuttiness, I think it would be a huge mistake to trade him. Get rid of Bradley, Miles and Gregg let Harden walk, keep Soto away from the Mexican agriculture and ho-hos, and pray Randy Wells doesn’t room with Geo in Spring Training. Get a real 2nd baseman-Figgins, preferably, but if not him then Hudson or Polanco, but the latter two shouldn’t be signed for any more than two years. Give Jeff Baker a chance to win a bench job as your super utility guy. Move Fuky back to RF and find a CF in the minors or find a way to snag Mike Cameron for a year. Hopefully Soriano’s knee injury is behind him and he can produce like he did in ’07/’08 or at least come close. Resign Grabow and push Heilman off a cliff.

I understand why some people want to trade Zambrano, but I think realistically, that we’d never get anything back as good as he’s capable of pitching. There aren’t any free agent pitchers as good as what Z can give us and the Cubs can’t afford any of them anyway. I really think what needs to happen is Lou needs to talk to Z and get a recommitment of focus. If we had a real pitching coach, it would have been done already. While I’m at it, push Rothschild off that same cliff where we dumped Heilman and find a way to sweet talk Dave Duncan into coming over here. If Duncan can turn Pinero and Wellemeyer into servicable pitchers, he could turn Carlos into Fernando Venuezula.
