Mom to the rescue


Milton Bradley of the Chicago Cubs was banished from the team for the rest of season. For what, exactly? Well they're working on it, but I'm guessing it had something to do with the fights with manager Lou Pineilla. Or smashing his bat at home plate. Or maybe criticizing the fans for booing him. Possibly the mental lapse he had when he threw the ball into the crowd with one out left. Well it can be for any and all of those reasons, but mommy has finally come to his defense.

Bradley's mother, we'll call her Mama Bradley, spoke about the suspension saying that Bradley "Lives, eats and sleeps baseball."

She said he'll go back to Chicago if they let him back.

I'm sorry Mama Bradley. We had Milton here in L.A. for a couple years and 'though we really rooted for him to change and hoped he'd succeed, he just can't control himself. There was a point where he apologized and it seemed like he was really trying to change his attitude.

It's been years later. He's in Chicago now and still the same problem.

Mama Bradley, you raised a wonderful baseball player, but he has an upside down attitude.

I really hope he can come back and do great, but I've seen this episode before. We're all going to change the channel soon.
