We just need to hit rock bottom
Now I'm sure the Padres are addicted to losing. I watch Intervention so I'm pretty much an expert on this sorta thing. What we really need is for the Padres to hit rock bottom. The way I see it, the quicker it happens the better.
Tonight was a big step in the wrong direction, which happens to be the right direction because we can only get better once we get worse.
Milton Bradley is so clutch. I was tuned into the radio driving around and I had given up and was waiting for the game to end. Leitner says "We haven't had a big game tying or walk off home run in a loooong time." Next pitch Bradley puts a game tying home run into Petco Porch. That dude can rake. Kooz and the Blummer starting off the rally really made me think that the Padres still had some fight in them.
A win tonight would have been the turning point in the season, but instead we get hammered in the 11th and lose Brian Giles with a sprain.
I'm thinking if Peavy can lose tomorrow and Barry Bonds can hit a couple homers in Petco over the weekend then that will pretty much put us in the gutter with our junk out and a death wish.
Then and only then we'll rise from the bowels of baseball and take our rightful spot at the top of the NL West.

But now you've given me hope...

No rock bottom
And don't get too attached to M Bradley; I'm tellin' ya... He's the Ron Artest of MLB; poison in the clubhouse and moody as shit on the field. He always starts out fast at a new city, and then turns into a problem child. Remember how it was in Cleveland? And Los Angeles? And Oakland? It'll be the same in SD.

Milton Bradley
Except
And LA...
True
And not hustling in exhibition game
I guess LaDanian Tomlinson should be AHOLE number 2 since he doesnt even suit up in the preseason.
Not True...

You're right

Oh, and the fact that you root for the Dodgers. And the Diamondbacks.

Crap. You're right.

Well
Bradley played his heart out for Oakland. Yeah, there were some controversies, but he played with fire and the team rode on his back to the ALCS. He was the only A who even bothered to show up and perform in that ALCS.
And with the Dodgers, his main flaw was getting in an argument with Jeff Kent. That same year Bradley was the team's Roberto Clemente Award nominee for public service, and he was traded to acquire Andre Ethier, who is pretty damned good.
The stuff that happened in Cleveland was inexcusable, but my impression is that Bradley has matured a lot since then. I am a big fan of the guy, what can I say.

No more heresy...here it is
Huh

Maybe if they hit rock bottom
Frustrated
yup
Milton
I agree on offering him a reasonable short term deal and doing it now - though no guarrantees that he would take it, he is between injuries at the moment and a guarranteed 4-5$ million (?) to spend next year in San Diego might have a certain appeal.
Today's the day. Go Padres! Keep the Faith! Padres '80, Ole! That exhausts my memory of team slogans.
Can we drop a rock...

Poor Milton!

Do you even read?
by Winfield's Ghost on Aug 2, 2007 9:40 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I read
In LA he pulled the race card on Jeff Kent, and famously went berserk when he disagreed with a call. We went nuts again when a fan threw a bottle (right after he dropped an easy bases-loaded fly ball).
In Oakland Bradley was on the DL a lot, once injuring his shoulder during a tirade in the clubhouse. He was designated for assignment, which means "Fired." Sounds like things were pretty tense.
I think we can all see a pattern there...

What would you do
Glad I am not a baseball player
Eventually he left the company.
Maybe we'll have a repeat
