I have to say that the Bradley not taking his suspension thing is getting a little silly. For one thing, if he were to take his suspension right now, I believe (not sure) the Cubs would not be able to Bradley on the DL retroactive to his last appearance... which was about a week ago I believe?
That's a weak reason though. The real reason I think it's important for Bradley to do this is I think Bradley was unfairly suspended. He was rightfully tossed, but I think because of his reputation he was given the suspension. I think that needs to stop before he gets 2 or 3 more unwarranted suspensions this year. If he wins his appeal (which he'll probably get at least 1 game knocked off of a two game suspension), it won't even be a big deal. The reason he's missing time right now is because he's injured. That's the real reason you should be pissed at him.
And do you really think he's not on the DL because he said not to?
