Padres Milton Bradley=Putz

[Not So Fast]

Did anybody see this guys antics the other day, unbelieveable. Starts jawing at the 1st base ump while standing on the bag, so much so that he gets tossed, then goes after said umpire while being restrained, Bud Black has to come out and try to calm him down and winds up throwing him to the ground and in the fracas Bradley suffers a torn ACL, done for the year. That equals putz in my book and he was carrying the Padres or at least a very big part of their offense:confused: This coming from a guy that said "Burnsy's hustle is false" Gimme a break. Karma I guess does go around!!:D NSF

Whatdo you know, anothe overpaid dick wipe!!!
He will probaboly sue since Bud was the one that threw him down to keep him from getting his dumb ass suspended and fined a few dollars!!!

Not so fast, Mr. Not So Fast. Go do a little research. The Padres 1st base coach said the umpire provoked the incident by calling him names, possibly racial names. Bobby Meachem, the Padres 1st base coach, is a real stand up guy, been in baseball over 25 years, said that if the umpire had said that to him they would have had to pull him off the ump. Todd Helton, the Rockies 1st baseman, basically said "No comment" when asked about it, but did say it was one of the most unusual exchanges from an umpire he had ever heard.
The only people that don't like Milton Bradley are the media, Jeff Kent and apparently you. His teammates love him.
You wait and see how this plays out. The ump will end up getting some time of huge punishment, mark my words.
Thanks Mr. last word on everything, your comments are well taken although not appreciated. Seems you take great pleasure in always correcting me. What I posted is just what I saw and read in the paper and yes it's being investigated, none the less he has hurt his teams chances for the platoffs. There, you happy oh great Schwab! NSF

Regardless of what transpired, I fill for Bradley as the unfortunate incident could have an impact on his career....and it sure does not help the Padres as they are chasing a playoff spot.

Bradely has been a problem since the time he played high school baseball in Long Beach. He has always had a chip on his shoulder and has had a piss poor attitude. If you look through his career you will see had many different run ins with umpires. There was the connie mack game, which I was playing in< where at 17 he told the umpire to "phuk off", the incident in the minors where he spit in the umpires face, dont forget when he poked his finger at the umpire. He had run ins with a former manager when he was with the Indians. He had run ins with former hitting coach Eddie Murray. He has numerous run ins with former and current teammates.
All that and he still is only a career .265 hitter. I dont see why he is still around the game. He has a poor attitude, hits for a low average and gets hurt all the time. Milton got what he deserves. Hes an ass and he hurt his team yet again. But he doesn't care about his team its all about him.

Couldn't of happened to a better guy! His antics are tired! Act like a professional.

Historically MB has had various run ins with baseball officials....in this case the Ump was giving him shit about MB's previous at-bat. Watching the replays you can see the first base coach gets in front of the Ump before Bradley made any aggressive overture......this whole incident was provoked by the Ump, plain and simple. Bradley was simply a baserunner that was verbally attacked by this Ump. Look at it, Bradley was in game mode taking a lead off 1st base.
The whole thing never should have happened. Stupid :(

That guy is a time bomb, he pulled stuff like that all of the time when he played for the dodgers.........

Milton Bradley is a self absorbed fokking asshat, I suppose the juice is innocent as well:eek: ...............

I agree with you SWB.. Milton doesn't have the best background but I think Bobby Meachem's comments say a lot...

Wow...that's a little overboard. Understood, but overboard. Yes he is an asshat troll, but you can actually see the ump mouthing off to him in the replay. Not very professional on either man's part.

[Not So Fast]

In retrospect, I just went to the Mighty 1090 website (San Diego Sport Radio) where they have interviews with 4 of the people involved in this fracas and in listening to these interveiws it appears that this umpire (Winters) had some ulterior motives and he may be in trouble for this deal. From the sounds of these interviews Bradley may not be at fault:confused: MLB is investigating. NSF

[carreraelite]

But, Will this help his (M.B.) Attitude, or make it worse?? :idea: :confused:

[AZJD]

MB is an ass at times but this was clearly not his fault. The 1bag blue was mouthing off to him.....

[Ziggy]

To me it looked like Meachum gets in the Umps face before anyone else.

[Lavey5150]

Sticks and Stones, BFD, still doesn't discount the fact that MB is an assclown......too bad for his knee and season

[Lavey5150]

no one here has feelings:confused: here especially MB........
