Bradley: Bad 2009 Was Chicago's Fault

Former Cub Milton Bradley has broken his silence on last year's tumultuous season at Wrigley. Speaking to the New York Times, Bradley said, “Two years ago, I played, and I was good. I go to Chicago, not good. I’ve been good my whole career. So, obviously, it was something with Chicago, not me.” Yes, it was Chicago's fault you hit .257 with 12 homers last season. It was Chicago's fault you turned around and threw a ball into the bleachers with only two outs in the inning. And we're sure it's Chicago's fault you're with your eighth team in a 10 year career, even if you are "good" (being a career .277 hitter is way more highly valued than it used to be). Nah, Milton. You're to blame for your bad season and no one else. Well, except for the guy who signed you to that garish contract but he's been run out of town, too. Wait, what? He's still here??? Aw, crap.
