New year, new team, same old Milton. It's like a broken record with this guy and every year the team that picks him up acts like they are suprised when the nonsense starts.
MLB: I hate Milton Bradley
- Thread starter superdorf
- Start date
I went to a Cubs vs Indians game in June and was sitting in right field right behind MB. It was freaking hilarious. People kept yelling the outs at him and any other insult they could think of. At one point in time, MB took his glove off and offered it to the crowd saying "You think you can do better?" Later on he yelled at the crowd to "Shut the **** up!" too. It was freaking awesome.
Its ridiculous that he has to put up with this while playing at home. This is why the general Cub fan has a bad name in baseball...
Not really. If you are a terrible player you deserve to get yelled at by your own fanbase. Its called caring about our team not individual players.
So if its called caring about the team, and not individual players, shouldn't Cubs fan being booing the entire team, and not the individual player Milton Bradley?
Also, under your logic, Soto should be booed every time he steps to the plate...why has this not happened?

Yes, such as gender lines. Parallel lines should NEVER be crossed. Also, I wouldn't cross a picket line unless I was well-armed and prepared to be called a scab.

I hate Milton because he's a bonehead. It didn't help when he was sucking.
I hate the signing if Milton partly because he's a bonehead, but also because he was supposed to be a lefty RBI bat in the middle of the order. Instead, it turns out he's just a HIGHLY overpaid Sam Fuld.
EDIT:
I just read the article. I love how Soriano gets it. "Just ignore them". THAT is why Milton is an idiot.
Time to grow up, Milty.

Don't get me wrong, I did, and still do, disagree with the Bradley signing. But I don't condone any fan base booing their own players.

Let's not get carried away - Fuld has made a couple of spectacular grabs, but it's premature to say that he would be a better fielder than Bradley if he was starting. Right field at Wrigley is one of the toughest in the game, and and after some initial growing pains, Milton has done a good job out there this year.
If you were to say that Fuld is faster, and would get to some balls that Milton wouldn't, I'd be with you 100%. Fuld is clearly a better fielder than Soriano is, as some of the balls Fuld has caught would have been triples with the Albatross out there, and that's only if Soriano even bothered to make an attempt.

Very true, however I don't think the drop-off in ability would amount to a $6.5 million difference.
Sure, I didn't mean to misunderstand or argue or anything. I was just stating my feelings.
I was at the game last night after that article came out. There were a few rumbles when he was introduced but not "boo's" After his 2 run HR he got the loudest cheer from the crowd. (apart from when they got the final out)
If Milton just ignored that fans... Like Soriano, as another poster said... People would stop. The fact that he engages these idiots is mind numbing.
"I'm always the story, whether I hit .500 or hit .100," Bradley said. "Somehow, someway, everything revolves back to me. I guess I'm kind of a big deal or something. People like talking about Milton Bradley. Not to my face, always behind my back."
Too bad you ARE hitting about .250 with worthless 11 HRs.

Perrotto says the Cubs are likely to deal Milton Bradley this winter, even if it means eating a large portion of the $21MM owed to him through 2011.
