No matter what your feelings are about Milton Bradley, how the article that appeared today in the Chicago Tribune is supposed to help the outfielder or the team play better is beyond me.  Sure I know its not the writer’s job to help the team, but in the case the player doesn’t even actually provide a truly inciendiary quote, asw Cubscast.com points out.  Are there racist fans in the world?  Cant argue there aren’t.  Why does Bradley need to tell you exactly what was said for him to be in the right?  Did he do something to these fans to retaliate? Nope.  He vented in the clubhouse it sounds like.  Shouldn’t that be OK?

So why would a pretty good writer decide to write such a slanted article?  Because A. the Tribune needs to sell papers, and B. since the team has been sold they now have the room to make the team look bad, since the selling price won’t be affected.  If this is the kind of shift the Tribune is going to do editorially, well every Cubs fans should cancel their subscription.

Way to go Cubscast.com.
