Ya'know, sports is the one area where a real meritocracy exists. Milton Bradley gets a bad rap because Milton has done and said some dumb things.
Johnny Estrada went from catching regularly in the NL to being out of the major leagues the NEXT SEASON for being a jerk.
Shea Hillenbrand hit 21 homers one season, wandered around the majors for a season and is now on the street complaining that the world hates him for being a jerk.
Do I need to continue? Do I really need to highlight how pulling out the race card on behalf of Milton Bradley is beyond dumb?
The man has issues. BECAUSE he can get on base he still has a tenuous hold on a major league job. Period.
Give me a break..........
I will resist looking that up because I have heard the phrase somewhere but cannot place it.
D*mn this old memory. Fire circuits! Work D*mmit!!
Forgive my oh-so-stereotypical film noir reference, but the guy that Bradley reminds me of is the Eli Wallach character (named Dancer) in The Lineup. He needed a "keeper," in the person of an aging, philosophical, sexually ambiguous hood (played by the great character actor Robert Keith). Ultimately this didn't work out so well in the film, but apparently it had kept Dancer from self-destruction for...awhile, at least.
Maybe that's what some team needs to do with Milton. Lest we get blasted for racism, let's not call it a "keeper," but merely a "companion."
Of course, this guy can't be on the field, but he can shield Milton from any off-diamond run-ins and "manage" his media interactions.
