I wish they would banish Bradley to the minors.  I wonder if they thought to put an option in the contract that releases the Cubs from any obligation to pay him if he doesn&#8217;t behave professionally (or even like a grown up

<p>I wish they would banish Bradley to the minors.  I wonder if they thought to put an option in the contract that releases the Cubs from any obligation to pay him if he doesn&#8217;t behave professionally (or even like a grown up <img src='http://www.lucindadewitt.com/lucidia/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, Lou only banished him for the afternoon and will put him back in tomorrow . . . which doesn&#8217;t really send much of a message.</p>
<p>Much more to write about the games since my previous post . . . including a confession that I&#8217;m now more of a Twins fan than a Cubs fan . . . .  I won&#8217;t be changing my blog header anytime soon, but I&#8217;m so fed up with the Cubs that I can barely watch them anymore.  Derrek Lee is just about the only decent hard-working guy left on that team.</p>
<p>Too late to go into all that now . . . just wanted to rant some more about Bradley.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so last year I avoided writing much about baseball because I was afraid of jinxing the Cubbies during their &#8220;magic 100th year&#8221;.  So much for that.</p>
<p>My initial thoughts as the players begin to report for Spring Training?</p>
<ul>
<li>Milton Bradley is not Cubbie material. When will they get back to putting together a TEAM instead of a bunch of numbers?</li>
<li>Joe Crede as a Twin is a great idea.  Hope it happens.</li>
<li>Today&#8217;s headline &#8220;<a title="New Cubs lineup" href="http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090217&amp;content_id=3839190&amp;vkey=news_chc&amp;fext=.jsp&amp;c_id=chc" target="_blank">Cubs manager Piniella has been mulling a change to lineup</a>&#8221;  Gee, wasn&#8217;t that his plan for every game last year?  Guess he didn&#8217;t learn anything from all those coaching books he said he was reading in the off-season</li>
</ul>
<p>Well that&#8217;s enough warmup swings for the first workout of the season.  <img src='http://www.lucindadewitt.com/lucidia/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
