Cub fans are a very forgiving lot.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Right...till the very first 2010 bump in the road..which WILL happen.

I always love when people tell me what WILL happen...

You think there's a chance Milt would be be a drama-free Cub in 2010?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I don't think he'll ever be drama-free...but, I think he could return to being less dramatic than he was last year.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The sensitivity to bullshit from Bradley will be acute. It would take only the slightest drama to put him right back on the shit list. Everyone can make nice but unless he's trulay drama free, we'd be right back where we were.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Then why so many presumed trade suitors for him?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So...you're saying that teams don't look at the emotional track record of a potential player?

Because, I think you're wrong.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

No. That's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that Cubs fans are generally pissed off at him. I'm saying that this may be something that can be smoothed over to some degree before opening day. I'm saying that the gloves will come off FAST in Chicago at the slightest sign of the 2009 headcase issues. The fan/press/management fuse will be shorter or longer depending on his performance but the sword of Damoclese will be over his head.

He has baggage wherever he winds up but this part of it will be acute if he stays in Chicago in a way it won't be if he plays elsewhere.
