General manager Jim Hendry said he decided to send Bradley home after learning of the player’s remarks in the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald of Illinois.

    A. The guy is a walking, talking joke. He's pretty much pouted, complained and misbehaved himself off of 7 teams in 9 years, yet he blames all his trouble this year on the Cubs, the media and the fans. If a picture of Barry Bonds isn't available, they could use Milton's pic in the dictionary next to the word narcissist. I just don't understand how there's always a team willing to throw money at this guy. Well, at least that list is growing shorter by the year.

    I say that they get rid of him. But I doubt that Ozzie would deal with his crap. Even though I don't like the Cubs (Yankees fan), I feel sorta bad that they have to deal with that stuff. Milton Bradley deserved to be suspended. He just says the wrong things and doesn't watch what he says. It's okay to give opinions, but he just took it too far. His comments are not welcome and are not necessary. He's not that much of a great player either.

    I hardly think that they are suspending him, just shutting him down for the rest of the year. And hopefully that Jim Hendry won't re-sign him for next year. But then again, if this is all true it is all news to me. But you have to wonder why players like this, just can't keep out of trouble. But the Chicago Cubs sucks anyways, so it is not like they will be any different, with or without him.

    Wow I never new that he's been suspended for the rest of the season. I think he will be on a different team next year like the Giants or something.

    A) He wasn't disciplined, the Cubs are out if it, basically because of him too, and he shouldn't even be in the Cubs uni next season.

  • A) it's not like it's the Cubs' first problem with Bradley, i doubt that they're gonna keep him this offseason

    probably knew the consequences would be bad so starting a fight in the clubhouse or cussing out a fan...all routes he's taken before was getting old so the only way out was to do what he did...its got to be hard to play for a team that does this every year...they're contenders every year until september rolls around...they're an embarrassment

    B) Remember when he caught the ball and just stood there? Or when he just walked off the field? How about this? (wasn't on the Cubs though) http://blogs.suntimes.com/fullcourtpress/PX189_740...

    He deserved to get suspended. He's like Terrell Owens, a trouble maker, but a team is always going to take a chance on him. He's got limitless second chances
