This was 12 seconds away from being another boring “bullet point” post.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley was there to save the day. After a closed-door meeting he requested with his manager, Jim Tracy, Milton was back in fine form.

Although I haven’t seen the video, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went all Ron Artest on us, and broke out the new CD he needs to promote mid-stride. Finally, after breaking down to (at least) near tears, a reporter asked if he was OK… Huh?<\/p>\n No really. Huh?<\/p>\n As a black man, Milton, I think I have to agree.

\nA few quotes from the Associated Press write-up<\/a> on the troublemaker<\/del> troubled outfielder:
\n
\n“I want people to say Milton Bradley was a pretty good ballplayer and a pretty good person,” Bradley said. “Anybody who is going to stand between me getting there, then they need to be eliminated.”
\n<\/em>
\nAs I said… so close to making your point, then you’re eliminating people. C’mon Milt.
\n
\n“Some people, that’s all their life is – is baseball … how many hits they get, how many runs they drive in, how many plays they make,” Bradley said. “They’re working for a plaque. I’m not working for a plaque. I’m working to put food on my table.”
\n<\/em>
\nOkay, okay… going the team player route, good sign, right? Nope! He’s gotta play the “starving ballplayer card”. Hey, MB, you’re making $2.5 mill this year, I think that’ll buy plenty of TV dinners. For a long time.<\/p>\n

\nBradley replied, “I’m always OK. As long as I’m black, I’m fine.”
