how a general manager can sign a player of bradley's classless ethics is beyond me...
this player is more interested in fighting announcers than winning baseball games...
another sickening milton bradley '08 episode...
There are a ton of stories about players getting fed up with announcers and confronting them, but I don't think I've ever heard a story of one doing so immediately following a game.
Milton Bradley stormed out of the Texas Rangers clubhouse after an 11-5 victory Wednesday night over Kansas City and bounded up four flights of stairs looking for Royals television announcer Ryan Lefebvre.
Bradley, who was the designated hitter, heard what he considered derogative remarks made by Lefebvre on a TV in the Rangers clubhouse. General manager Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington were close behind and intercepted Bradley before he reached Lefebvre.
should have had his ass on the bench watching his teammates...
instead of sipping brews...and eatin' cheetos.... in the clubhouse... until his lowclass ass was due up...

8 straight wins now for carp...
man he was dealing last night...
looks like another cy young year...for carp...
meanwhile gregg embarrasses himself & hendry again...
walks eckstein & gas cans the save...
piniella was concerned about all of marmol's walks...think that no longer matters...uncle lou needs to make the change
i think its reasonable to expect the cardinals will go 23-19 w/the 42 games they have left...gets 'em a 91-71 record...
the cubs would have to go 31-15 to finish 91-71 & tied w/the cardinals...
imo...this cubs team does not have that in 'em...
wild card...well the cubs would have to leap over 4 teams...

Cards had two missing ingridents before the deadline, one was to bolster both the starting and relief corps, the other was to get Pujols some protection.
They got the latter big time with Holliday, that is enough to salt away the central division, but the Phils acquistion of Cliff Lee makes them the front runners to represent the NL in the fall classic.
Phils can mash with the Cards, if not better than the Cards and have better front line pitching.

What's Zorbrist got anything to do with this.
Last time I checked he's with Tampa, got nothing to do with either the Phil's or Cards, unless you are talking about Zorbist's breakout post season in 2008 where he went 0 fer the Boston series for a nice symetrical .000 batting average.
Or were you eluding to his splendid World Series against the Phils where he lit up the box scores with that 1 for 7 (.143) effort.
Zorbrist is what he is, a career .249 hitter with some pop who can swipe an occasional base.
What did you think, he was that .316 hitter he was in June?
He's more of a role player who can come off the bench and play six postions, than an everyday second baseman.
He's not geared for the 150 game grind.
Look at his game log, the more he plays, the more that average slides.
He was .316 in June, he's .286 now, and I'll wager he'll be about .274 at years end.
In the American League alone, I'd rather see Cano, Kinsler, Pedroia, Brian Roberts, and maybe even Aaron Hill with his .291 avg and 28 taters on my starting lineup at second base before Zorbrist's name.
Now, back to my original point.
Phils top to bottom have the superior lineup.
If you are trying to tell me Ryan, Lugo, Pujols, Holliday, Ludwick and Derosa collectivly are equal to or greater than Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Werth and Ibanez, then you watch way to many baseball games with red tinted sunglasses.
Cards have the fifth best ranked pitching staff in the NL, Phils seventh.
Carpenter, Wainwright, Pinero and Wellemyer as a group are not that much better as a group than Lee, Hamels, Happ and Moyer, you want to argue the Card quartet has a slight edge over the Phils front four, knock yourself out, it's not that much better.
I can't argue Lidge over Franklin, but Phils have a very nice pair of middle men in Eyre and Maddson.
Cards are not a better overall team then the Phils.
If going 1 for 11 in the playoffs one year means that you suck, then I'd hate to hear what you have to say about A-Rod. Now that guy is one worthless player in October.
Batting .290 with a .400 OBS and a .950 OPS while playing everyday at several positions and committing only 5 errors........all for the league minimum.......that makes you about the best value in baseball. But he won't be making the league minimum for much longer.
Wellemeyer hasn't pitched in weeks. It's not like he's going to be out there in October. Cards 4th spot is shaky, but the 1-2-3 punch is best in the NL. Lineup is better than Philly, especially when Schumacher leads off against right handers.
You can bet on Philly if you want to.
