Milton Bradley, or “Milty” as some of his Chicago fans call him, has been suspended for the rest of the season because of the rough year that he’s had. There was a huge uprising amongst the fans saying that he shouldn’t have been eliminated from the team. They said they have a chance to make it to the postseason and that Milton’s high batting average would have gotten them all the way into first position in the NL Central. Actually, none of that happened. Most of the fans and media seem to be saying “it’s high time that this guy got some real consequences from his bad mouthing the city, team, fans, etc etc”. There is virtually no chance for the team to make it to the playoffs and he doesn’t have a batting average this season that meets his $30 million dollar contract. Even if he had .300 (which he doesn’t), that’s a million dollars for every .010 on his average. Maybe he’s been suspended because he’s playing so much under expectations, but his conduct has made it much easier. And no one calls him “Milty” that I know of.
