Milton Bradley has to be the dumbest guy in the bigs.

[HollywoodLeo]

He called him a "****ing piece of shit" that is on record, and the guy wasn't suspended for shits and giggles.

my point still stands. The umpire was out of line, no matter who he was saying it to.

Well, he wasn't lying. If he said that to any other player, I doubt there would have been the same reaction. Milton Bradley did not have to go bonkers like he did, but he does all the time. Why do you think he bounces from team to team, because he's some kind of saint?

Like I said before, Milton Bradley has some mental/anger issues that he needs to work out. He needs to see a shrink because he's a headcase. Until he gets help, stuff like this will always happen.

I also love how this stuff always happens to him and not other players. He brings it on himself, he really does.

[HollywoodLeo]

It's unprofessional and disgraceful for a major league umpire to talk to a ball player like that, I don't care how "true" it may or may not be.

Thankfully Bud Black agrees.

And, yes, Milton overreacted.

[Pronk48]

I agree that what the ump said should have never been said, especially while a game is being played. The ump is being punished accordingly. As far as anyone knows, this is the first time he has ever done anything of this nature. Maybe him and Bradley have a past, maybe Bradley said something to him that provoked that response.

But Bradley brings a lot of crap on himself. He has built a reputation as a hot-headed jackass and he always tries to make himself look like the victim.

I doubt the ump said what he said just to be funny. Like I said before, they probally have a past. Somewhere these two met and something was said/done. Stuff like this doesn't happen for no reason.

And as for the injury, that is 100% Bradley's fault. You just can't go off like that, period. If this was in the street, Bradley would be sitting in jail right now. Like I said before, he has some issues that he needs to take care of.

Until he does, I doubt we'll see him on an MLB roster again.

[HollywoodLeo]

In the end this could be good for the Padres.

It could save them from making the foolish mistake of signing Milton to be their primary CFer in 2008.

A move that would be foolish even if he were a model citizen due to his propensity to find himself on the DL every other week.

but it isnt the street. and the umpire would also likely be in jail too for instigating a fight. though neither would be in jail since neither made contact with the other. so that part is moot anyways.

and you think he is the only player who would react that way if called a ****ing piece of shit? you sir, are completely naive.

[HollywoodLeo]

How'd I miss this part?

In jail? For what? Having a disagreement, then getting pissed off for being called a "****ing piece of shit" and being held back?

I sure hope you're not a cop.

[Pronk48]

I'm no cop, I hate cops.

But I doubt that in the street, someone would have held him back. More than likley, in the street, the ump would have gotten the crap beat oput of him.

And in the street, it is more than likley the ump would have been looked at as the victim more than Bradley.

But I was making a point about "if this was in the street". Milton Bradley can't keep a level head IN HIS PLACE OF BUSINESS. I doubt he can keep a level head in public.

He's the type of guy where, if HE bumps into you, he's likley to kick YOUR ass for it. He's mentally unstable and IMHO, isn't fit to be in public...much less on any professional baseball team.

I hope nobody takes him once San Diego cuts him loose.

[HollywoodLeo]

Everyone hates cops....until they need one.

Come live where I live then. My city is boring as hell with nothing to do. The cops here just screw with young people because they have nothing better to do. If the cops had reason to stop me the other night on my way home from work (he saw me pull out of the gas station parking lot), he would have ticketed me. He wouldn't tell me why he stopped me, so I just left.

[HollywoodLeo]

So you've had a few run ins with a few bored cops, that makes all cops assholes.

Gotcha

I just hope you don't ever get mugged and expect those assholes to catch the perpetrator.

It's every cop in my city.

I had a cop pull a gun on me in Indiana once because I was from out of town. I was waiting in my car for my friend to come out of the gas station and next thing I know, someone's trying to break the window of my car. I look out and a cop has a gun pointed at me for no reason other that it turns out, I do not have Indiana plates.

So yeah, between the cops in my city and that incident, I don't trust cops. Are there good cops? Yeah, there are plenty. But you don't know what kind you have until they go to do something. And good cops turn bad too.

[HollywoodLeo]

Every profession on the planet has assholes who take advantage of their position....every profession.

Don't let the assholes taint your view of Cops in general.

The alternative (no cops) would be much worse.

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't know, maybe it's because the few times I've had to deal with the cops anywhere they've been nothing but helpful, combined with my distaste for society's generic hate for authority figures in general, and combined with my utter disgust for generalizing large groups of people based on the actions of a few that leads me to have a strong opinion on this subject.

I might just let it go, I'm not going to change anyone's opinion and this will just get me worked up.

[Pronk48]

I agree that it's not all cops in general and that a world with cops, even the dickhead ones, is better than a world with no cops at all. Hell, even the dickhead cops stop criminal acts just because they were dickheads...but most of the time it's harassment.

I do know a few good cops, actually two work for the city I live in. I had a friend who was a dickhead cop, but he dealt with big things, he was a Cuyahoga County detective...so he wasn't a normal cop.

But back to the jackass named after a board game company...hey, that may be why he's off his rocker!
