I'm sure the media coverage is worse here than it is in San Diego or Texas, but Bradley had problems in both of those places, so I don't think it really matters. If it isn't Paul Sullivan harassing him, it's the umpires or it's the color man in the booth, or it's the 1B coach or it's the fans. He'll find a reason to be disgruntled wherever he is. We just need to learn to live with it.

I think you were correct to turn the question back around to Milt and away from a Chicago media question. The fishbowl has to be worse in New York and just as bad in Philly and Boston. Who else is suffering under the withering gaze of Sullivan and his ilk besides Bradley? He's a hothouse flower. He needs some life-coaching or something. His ball-playing isn't the problem and might be be notches better if he could ignore the distractions...or not go looking for them.
