Re: I guess it's just Milton Bradley being Milton Bradley

Lefebrve or whatever the hell is name is IS the jackass here... why say a player HASN'T turned himself around when he's leading the league in batting average and slugging percentage, and hasn't been in any confrontations in the past few years? Doesn't make any sense AT ALL.

I gotta take Miltons side on this...Milton has done everything Josh Hamilton has for Texas...

He may be a great player but does he really need to flip out like that?

Re: I guess it's just Milton Bradley being Milton Bradley

I'm on Bradley's side. Josh Hamilton (great player, never met the guy) is a recovering drug addict. If someone said I was as bad as that, I would flip too. Kudos to Hamilton for recovery, but he was on drugs. Milton hasn't had a huge incident in a year, and somehow he is a worse person than a guy that was on drugs? Milton's got his demons, but he's not any worse than probably a hundred other professional athletes and to single him out is idiotic.

I'm sure any player would act that way if he was blatantly called out like Bradley was.

If this was just about anyone else besides Milton Bradley, people wouldn't be making a fuss. Personally, I get tired of commentators hiding behind the mike & think they don't have to answer for what they say. If Lefebvre has such a big mouth, he should be a big enough man to go face to face w/the man he's dissing.

Re: I guess it's just Milton Bradley being Milton Bradley

People(not here) are attacking Milton's temper when he has clearly tried really hard to turn his image. Milton will always be "hard", but he is definitely learning on when to go off and when to shut it off.

Give the man a little leeway for pete's sake. We all make mistakes.

Bottom line. Milt is ballin' this year.

He should worry about what some guy says behind a mic.

@ X*Cell

Exactly....he should get a new a-hole ripped for being so stupid...Bradley has turned things around...but again, this is a case of the media, INTENTIONALLY putting certain athletes in a bad light---regardless of how well they've done...and on the same token, almost making Hamilton a hero since his crack addiction and all of that other ssssh he was involved with.

@ slickdtc

and he's absolutely right....get the FLOCK out of the way or pay the cost....

PS...for the detractors out there...when Mr. Bradley had that run-in with the first base ump last season...which wound up with his manager tackling him and ultimately a severly damaged knee...how many of you all right away and in quick time, just KNEW that Mr. Bradley was totally wrong? Hmmmm

Then we find out that the umpire not only STARTED the exchange, but spoke some RACIALLY insensitive things too....totally corroborated by the then first base coach...Bobby Meacham.

Incorrrect behavior...whether it's COCAINE ASUSE, CRACK ABUSE, ALCOHOL ABUSE, ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES, BEATING ONES WIFE, etc...are ALL serious matters. However...ALL players deserve to have the know nothing media and the platitudes of know nothing fans, back the **** off of them while they move forward in their lives.

The Royals broadcaster in trying to paint a contrast was straight up BIASED.

And Milton was right...it was time for an introduction. To paraphrase another OS member...if you're gonna flap your jaws without impunity on the mic, then EXPECT confrontation...

end of discussion.

Maybe my memory is failing me but I recall a lot of people siding with Bradley.

@ Pared

LMAO

your memory is a little wrong...

Initially....virtually ALL..including the Padres announcers, trashed Bradley...I even heard that audio...pathetic

only AFTER the ump was suspended by MLB, did SOME folks RELUCTENTLY...give Bradley the benefit of the doubt. No way the majority

Hey, just THIS WEEK, our own Gary Cohen...Mets announcer...FAILED to do so. He brought up the ump incident on the air while talking about Bradley's ire at the Royals announcer. And not ONE TIME did he say the ump last year, instigated the incident..or that the ump used insensitive language...not once. He left it that Bradley's 'checkered past' prevents him from getting the recognition he deserves as an outstanding talent. Cohen needs to get a grip like the rest of 'em.

So...anyone who may have been on Mars since last season...listening to Gary..would have drawn the 100% conclusion, that Bradley was dead-to-rights wrong
