The Padres' Milton Bradley was ejected from the game and injured while being restrained in yesterday's sweep-clinching loss to the Rockies. Above is wonderful video of the event, which is perfectly summed up the FanHaus's Matt Watson:
[H]e literally hurt himself by getting angry and defying authority. Has a player ever summed up his entire career more succinctly with one play? …[This event] defines his entire essence.
Couldn't agree more. Considering that, yes, all Milton Bradley does is go crazy and get injured, it's good to see him get more efficient at what he does best. It's like if I learned how to masturbate and call Eva Longoria an annoying bitch at the same time, I could save myself a couple hours every day.

In other news, Hasbro got pissed at the late Ron Luciano.
As nutty as Unlce Milton is, I think its entirely possible that the ump was baiting him a bit.
Mike Patrick wants to know what he's doing with his career.
Yes, the ump baited him and called him a fucking piece of shit. Helton heard it and I am sure this will all come out when MLB gets involved. However, my boss calls me a fucking piece of shit all of the time and I take it. As a San Diego native and diehard SD sports fan, this weekend may have taken the top spot on the list of all time lows in the annuls of SD sports history. Now that Bradley is done for the year due to an ACL tear (after his manager threw him to the ground) and after aformentioned Milty stepped on Cameron's hand and knocked him out for at least a few, the pads will miss the playoffs. This was after I realized that the Chargers suck and will probably move out of town. Sorry, I just had to rant.
Thought the same thing at first but if as Buster O. reports the ump used racial language, it completely changes the story.
First Jose Offerman, now this, won't someone PLEASE think of the children?
wow, if that's not poetic justice i don't know what is.
Maybe Padre's management should rethink having Milton run on double A batteries.
Coach-on-jock violence? Go on.

You'd think Lovie would know how to spell his own name, but no, not so much.
carl everett will see your crazy, and raises you a bat shit insane. chip leader darren daulton sat this round out.
@ Hugh G. Brown: +2, one for each post.
So that's what roid rage looks like on TV.
The phillies thank you, milton.
Also being a San Diego fan, I have to echo Akasendorf. 1) the ump baited him, as you can tell by the fact in the video that the first base coach was actually the first to react (although as a player, you have to know that you can't win that battle) and 2) the Chargers have sucked my life away with the most incompetent defensive scheme since, well, last week before. It's like Ted Cottrell (D coordinator) is involved in some private bet where he's trying to see how completely he can suck without getting fired. I call it the "Grossman Theorem." Rated R for unwatchably bad and craptastic football.
"It's terrible. And now, because of him (Winters), my knee's hurt," Bradley said. "If this costs me my season because of that, he needs to be reprimanded. I'm taking some action. I'm not going to stand pat and accept this because I didn't do nothing wrong."
Wow. What a grade-A lunatic.
Don't blame the ump, the guy is nuttier than squirrel turds.
"Because of him"?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Like just because someone says something that annoys you you HAVE to act like a whiny little bitch.
Milton Bradly is that kid in high school telling his friends "Hold me back! Hold me back man, I'm gonna fucking kill this guy!" That guy usually just gets hurt by getting punched in the nose, but this works too.
Milton Bradley? Are you fucking kidding me? HONESTLY? Someone did that to their kid, and he went on to be a baseball player and therefore have some level of fame (albeit on a sports blog that's apparently only read by 70-85 people, since that's all I ever see comment)?
TOTALLY AWESOME. I wonder if he wears two of those little Monopoly shoes when he plays. Someone ask him if they can borrow the tiny little iron to do some laundry.
Bwahahaha.
Yes Milton, go do something to this umpire. Hopefully it's something you can do on crutches.
