Today Milton Bradley violated his own gag rule and blamed his mediocre 2009 season on Chicago. Said Bradley: “…it was something with Chicago, not me…just no communication…I never hit more than 22 homers in my career, and all of a sudden I get to Chicago and they expect me to hit 30. It doesn’t make sense. History tells you I’m not going to hit that many. Just a lot of things that try to make me a player I’m not.”
Now pretty much everybody in baseball knows that Uncle Milty is missing a few cups in his cupboard; his statements are not worthy of response. That notwithstanding, the Cubs play the Mariners in an exhibition game on March 28th. Will the Mariners play him in that game? I seriously doubt it but one thing’s for sure – if he did play and I was a Cubs pitcher I’d make absolutely sure that he sat down gingerly after that game.
