I’m somewhat of a casual baseball follower. I check scores and watch the occasional game or two during the regular season, but the sport does not get interesting to me until around playoff time. That said, there are some players I keep up with because they are just that good, and others I watch because, well, I know they are going to give me material to blog about. The main culprit in the latter category is Milton Bradley of the Chicago Cubs. If you look up angry motherf*cker in the dictionary, you will see this photo next to it, with a caption reading “Milton Bradley is one angry motherf*cker!”
Bradley was suspended for the rest of the season by the Cubs, after alienating pretty much the entire organization over the course of this year. The worst part about it is that the Cubs should not have been surprised. Milton Bradley has been mad at the world for years now. I guess Chicago thought paying him $10 million a year would calm him down a bit. I know it would have worked for me…Milton, however, insists that his happiness is NOT FOR SALE!
I really wonder what’s going on in that guy’s head. It’s one thing to have a chip on your shoulder. This dude has a the whole damn tree strapped across his back! I mean sure, your folks gave you the same name as a board game company…GET OVER IT! They could have named you worse things than that. I think my friend Resha was the person who told me about someone named Bootmonkey. Yes, there is a human being walking the Earth named Bootmonkey. So Milton, if you’re reading this, you really need to count your blessings, because it could have been MUCH worse!
All Bootmonkeys aside, I cannot understand how someone can let his anger get to a point where it potentially ruins his chance at living out the dream of being a professional athlete. These type of careers don’t last forever, so I hope Bradley thinks about that while he has this time off. I hate to see folks piss away talent and potential, so I hope that he’s able to get it together before the start of next season.
Being from Chicago… I hate the Cubs. Go White Sox! lol
I was a Frank Thomas fan, so even though I’ve never been to Chicago, I’ve wanted the White Sox to do well @ Maximillian
Go Bulls!
Maybe he’s pissed because his beard looks like pubic hair. It’s short but all curled up and nappy. Look at it.
I hate to chime in again. But his beard is also splotchy. It’s looks like he’s got the mange.
Bootmonkey? Really? Gnr.
