I don't often feel good when a player gets injured. When Nomar pulled his groin about 15 seconds into the Cubs 2005 season, I felt bad for the guy even though I loved that it happened to the Cubs. Even though I'm a huge Kevin Durant fan and I told everyone I know he'll be better than Greg Oden, I didn't want to see Oden miss his entire rookie campaign.
But this Milton Bradley thing is too much. How perfect is it that a guy who can't control his temper or stay healthy tears his ACL during a tantrum? That was scripted, right? He called time out so he could yell at the ump?!?
Bradley should retire now and the Hall of Fame should immediately induct him. I don't care that he's only a .273 career hitter with 81 home runs. NEVER has one player had one play sum up his entire career. This is like Albert Belle hitting a double, running over a kid and screaming down the press in one play. It just doesn't happen.
It doesn't even matter that the umpire may have instigated the whole thing. Bradley has to know that this will define the rest of his life. Congratulations Milton, see you in Cooperstown.
