PrintWow.
I'll say this, and others have made good points, but I still think that umpires shouldn't be allowed to say anything but the following six words:
- Strike
- Ball
- Fair
- Foul
- Safe
- Out
If somehow, "Piece of sh_t" has found its way into
Also-also-also... Little bit of shame on those of you who thought Milton Bradley was faking. Granted, he may be the boy who cried wolf, but still... Shame on those villagers who let their sheep get eaten by that wolf too.
Does this fire up the Padres? Does this wake up their inner anger that burns within? Stay tuned to find out!
Update [2007-9-24 14:15:47 by Dex]: fixed from where I referred to Winters as "White". That race card keeps finding its way out of the pocket.

I am pissed
I agree
average intelligence
I should add
I know, right?
Dex
Yes
Honestly, you shouldn't ever be pushing somebody if you're attempting to restrain them.
That being said... Not everybody is as learned at restraining crazies like I am. When I was in college, I worked at a Q-Zar and also at a Boys & Girls Club, so I know the deal when it comes to crazies.
Buddy
I rip Buddy probably more than anyone, but I think he was trying his best to save Milty from really getting into serious trouble.
The proper way
After Bradley's strikeout in the 5th when his aggression levels were beginning to rise, the Milton Patrol should've given him some of his "special vitamins" to help him maintain his chill. Disaster would have been averted.

like I said
Take down moves for kids (or Milton)
But still, the blow gun loaded up with tranquilizers is the way to go with Milton. You don't have to be up in his grill to get the job done. Thusly, no one risks an injury and the end result is docile, happy, offense-producing Milton.
Back to solving the world's problems....
lol
He totally did the soccer grab and scream. Yes, I understand now that it was a legitimate injury, but c'mon! It looked like a fake reaction. Shoot - Cameron had his hand totally stepped on by Milton earlier and all he did was shake it a little. Cammy would have walked off on his own with a torn ACL.

I'm not even upset
But, I still have faith in this team. As others have pointed out, Hairston absolutely tore it up last week. And it's not like Bradley didn't play in the Colorado series. Even his bat wasn't able to save the team.
The loss of Bradley does not doom this team. Baseball is a team sport, and the Padres need to start winning as a team. Everyone's got to contribute, and everyone's got to play hard and play well.
So, buck up and charge hard. The boys should have all of the motivation in the world to go out and show everyone that they are a strong and powerful force. The loss of Bradley should only steel them into wanting to win in spite of his loss.
Let's go Padres. It's the friar, bitch.
So do you think
Gonna be tough

Not really that far out of the question

"It really is complicated for Helton. On one hand, if he speaks publicly about it, he could really put himself in a less than advantageous position with the umpires. On the other hand, if what Bradley and Bobby Meachem say happened actually happened, Helton is in a position to vindicate a fellow union member. If what Bradley and Meachem say is accurate, and Helton knows it, then what he could do is communicate with Bob Watson thusly: "On the record, I have nothing to say. Now, off the record -- ask me about what Bradley said and whether it's true." I'm sure it's not what Helton wants or needs right now, at a time when he's fighting for the first playoff appearance of his career."
More from Olney's chat:
"There's no doubt that Milton has a history of overreacting, and that should be considered. But the umpire also needs to be aware of all that, as well, and if Mike Winters actually called him a "piece of...", well, that means he has failed in his handling of the issue, at the very least, and at most, he has absolutely abused his position of authority. If Bradley's version is accurate, then Winters -- who I've always liked and respected -- should be suspended. And if it turns out that Winters filed a report that does not accurately account for what he said to Milton, well, he should be fired."
There's a good and bad way to handle this
The Good--Win. Win. Win. And if it doesn't happen, well, there's a whole season's worth of reasons why we lost games we shouldn't have. It doesn't rise and fall based on Milton's ACL.
I wish Milton was healthy. He isn't. So I'm the world's biggest Scott Hairston fan--what an amazing feel good story that would be, him subbing in for an injured star and going on a post-season tear. Now that Rick Ankiel has fallen from grace, I'd like the world to meet Scotty H in a big, big way....
Hasn't anybody here seen Tombstone?
in the parking lot, after the game, be there!
** Why not throw Bard into th mix? Just keep the pitchers out of it.
