I kind of think it'll help but I guess we'll see. I'm going to have fun watching him.

No, dude. You are talking out of two sides of your mouth. You can't say that stats are way superior to scouting and then say stats based on scouting are valid.

Well...even if we suck total balls the next three years (not likely), he'll be entertaining to watch.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

Bradley is going to be awesome for us...for the 90-100 games he plays. He's a walking suspension/injury.
Over/under for the first Lou/Board Games showdown in the dugout - 60 games.

I expect it to happen during a rough stretch around the All-Star break.

Watch Bradley get ejected after he gets called out on a tag at first base. Is this really something to lose your shit over?
I started laughing at about 1:45. It looks like he flips off the fans.
Boy...this is going to be a fun three years.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As long as he can <i>walk</i> out of the field after it, he can argue and get ejected all he wants, that's fine with me. I'm sure Lou won't have a problem with it either.

That's exactly what I was thinking. When people talk about Bradley, they seem to only talk about the negatives that come from the fired-up intensity. I think the Cubs are in desperate need of such intensity.
We could have DEFINITELY used it during the playoffs, instead of playing like a bunch of lethargic chokers.

I agree with that too. I bet Lou will even join in on the fun.
Can you just imagine Lou and Bradley making an Umpire-Sandwich and screaming at him from each angle? Its gona be fuckin AWESOME.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] Fair point. On paper this team should clinch soundly, but I really wouldn't be the least bit surprised if some major shit happened to us this year.
