April 18, 200917 yr This guy is never going to get it. CHICAGO (AP)—Chicago Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley has been suspended two games for arguing balls and strikes and making contact with umpire Larry Vanover. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-cubs-bradleysuspended&prov=ap&type=lgns
April 18, 200917 yr As a Reds fan I love this. As a baseball fan I can't stand it. This isn't the kind of crap my little league guys need to see the "stars" doing.
April 18, 200917 yr Completely uncalled for suspension, MLB blew it out of proportion. He argued and should have been ejected but it wasnt anything worthy of a suspension.

April 18, 200917 yr Did you see it? If they touched, it was brushing and unintentional cause I couldn't see any contact made
April 18, 200917 yr Its only a matter of time with Bradley. This time it was an umpire, next time he's likely to blow up on his own team. There's a reason he's bounced around so much--like I said after they signed him last winter.
April 18, 200917 yr It doesn't matter if the bump or brush was intentional or not. The issue was that there was contact period.

April 19, 200917 yr If the umpire said he bumped him, I don't need to see it. Then you obviously don't know squat about the sitation then because it's clear you are ignorant to this incident. The umpire didn't make the claim he was touched. It was 2nd base umpire who filed it, not the one who was allegedly touched. I've watch the incident over and over can see no contact made. Watch the replay before you pop off and just assume you're right. The pitch was a ball in every sense of the word, LOW AND INSIDE, with a 3-2 with the bases loaded in a tie ball game. ANYONE would feel wronged in that situation and I guarantee that the suspension will be reduce or taken away completely. But good job taking something you know NOTHING about and running with it:rolleyes:
April 19, 200917 yr Maybe you should watch the replay. There IS contact! The bill of the umpire's hat clearly moves from contact with Milton.

I still can't believe the Cubs gave him so much money this offseason.

April 19, 200917 yr Maybe you should watch the replay. There IS contact! The bill of the umpire's hat clearly moves from contact with Milton. I've watched it plenty http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090418&content_id=4333998&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
April 19, 200917 yr Figures that's be the link posted you need the one ESPN has been showing. It's an above view with CLEAR CONTACT.
