Milton Bradley is my favorite Cub.

LMAO mine too

He is just misunderstood.......... by the rest of the human race.

Yeah, Bradley rocks. I'm considering getting a jersey. :evil:

Depends entirely on the PTBNL.

Perez is just another guy. He'll never get a good enough handle on this command to be a reliable closer and our minor leagues are FILLED with right handed relief options. Kinney will fill Perez's role, Motte or Todd will be our COTF.

DeRosa is pretty bag against righties though, that can't be overlooked. He's a nice player, but I still think we're a bat away from contending. If by some miracle Glaus comes back, shifting DeRosa to 2b and Skip to RF (with Rasmus and Ludwick) then we may be onto something.

I don't get the reference, sorry. What do board games have to do with anything?

Not really. Who is more important to this team, Larussa and Pujols? or some PTBNL If the front office was to set on his hands when we got a chance to win it all this year could possibily cause Larussa to not come back and Pujols start thinking about other places that are more committed to winning.

I'm just waiting for Friday. Manny's back!

lol spoiled rotten jerk Bradley :deevee:

curious who the "player to be named later" will be for DeRosa. now the x-Cub factor comes into play.

.

I know there only a handful of people on this planet that can hit major league pitching, but shit, find another one other than BRADLEY, dude is reeruned, actually he gives reeruned people a bad name

Agree with UP on both counts. As a Cubs fan I hate this trade, and what's the deal with Bradley? Is there a youtube video I need to check out, or are some people overly fascinated with baseball players who share the same last name as the Chiefs' #2 WR?(I know his persona, what's he done as a cub?)

Oh my God, Cub fans are PISSED. LIVID. FURIOUS.

It's almost cruel to mess with them over this. But I won't let that stop me.

The best part is saying "Well, look at it this way, if you hadn't gotten rid of DeRosa, you wouldn't have Milton Bradley."

So much more fun to do it to people in person.

:fire:

Cubs fans? Hell, the MFing Cubs players are livid.

I still want to know who we gave up as the PTBNL. Remember, Mozeliak could've had DeRosa for Perez straight up 3 weeks ago (rumored by Miklasz and confirmed by Gammons), so that PTBNL matters a ton.

I still think Mozeliak is in way over his head, but at least he's finally looking to improve his club a little bit instead of merely building up a minor league stable of right handed relief arms.
