There is NO WAY he can play ball in Chicago next year...

Yeah, it's truly pathetic.

He's been whining and crying all year about the fans giving him shit, the other players not liking him and giving him support, etc.
Fuck him!

It all comes down to him being a shitty player, and having an attitude about it.
I'm almost 100% certain that the other players DON'T like him, and I can't blame them for that!

The whole racist thing is complete bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I suppose it is possible to have some drunk in the right field bleachers drop the "N-bomb", but I am certain that 99.9% of people who go to baseball games are not racist, or if they were would not verbalize it to someone on the field.

I know Dusty Baker, Jacque Jones, LaTroy Hawkins received threatening letters over the years...and that is sad...but I'm also pretty sure the majority of professional athletes get them from time to time as well.

Also...
Look at the differences between Bradley and Soriano. Both are over-paid, both have had shitty years, but both have handled it completely differently.
While Soriano may get booed from time to time (deservedly so), it is NOWHERE near the shit Bradley gets. Why? Because Soriano has more or less kept his mouth shut and not blamed everyone and their brother for why he's doing bad.

You guys remember Todd Hundley and the world of shit he got from the fans? Why? Because he called them out and also blamed his shitty play on everything down to the color of the grass as opposed to his not being able to play the game.
Corey Patterson also perpetuated the boo-birds.

Bradley needs to go. Like Speedy said, they need to cut their losses and just let him walk away.

Bradley is a complete fucking clown. I dont even wanna turn on sportsradio in Chicago lately beacuse this jagoff seems to be the center of attention. I'm not sure why this is such a big shock that this guy has acted the way he has. He's been on what? 7 teams in his career?? That doesnt happen for no reason. This guy has been a fucking head case everywhere he has been and its no different in Chicago. Hendry had a really shitty offseason.

Well, it looks like we still have Harden.


The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking Z may be becoming more and more expendable. We have huge contractual black holes on our roster. Z, Lee and ARam are really the only ones worth any real value in the baseball market right now and I don't see Lee or Aram going anywhere.
Z would be a huge addition for a team heading into the playoffs (though, we all know how he does in the playoffs ).

Anyways...

Bradley, Soriano: Contractual black holes. We are stuck.
Z, Lee, Aram: See above
Theriot: Solid SS, can't see him going anywhere but could see the Cubs going "DeRosa" with him.
Fukudome: Very little market value.
Fox: Can't see him going anywhere.
Harden: Will demand a huge contract. Even if we wanted him, how could we afford him?
Dempster: May have some market value, but not that much.
Marmol: Def. trade bait, would have been worth gold lined in platinum last year. Too bad the BBs lowered his value.
Wells: Has shown some great stuff. Can't see him going anywhere.

Well, I left a lot of people out, but it's pretty slim-pickings for the Cubs right now...


Oh, anyone heard the status of Johnson? Would be nice to have him back in the lineup!

F'n Soriano!


What a piece of shit!

He needs to be BENCHED the rest of the season!


:evil:

No kidding. You'd think for maybe this one game this team could get up, cause in all reality the rest of the season is done, and it would have been nice to even the city series. Nope, no runs and piss poor defense. Can pretty much soley blame the loss on Sorryano, 0 for 4 with 3 k's. Two k's with runners in scoring position and then the god awful play in the field. Heard people threw a shirt at him. That's a good start, but I'd suggest throwing something at him that if it hit him might put him on the DL where he belongs, cause he's not a baseball player, he fucking sucks!!
