Really, these are the 3 things I want from Bradley:

1. Be 100% healthy when October comes along.
2. You can get angry, but don't do anything beyond stupid that gets you suspended for the rest of the season: Throwing fastballs at fans, swinging your bat at the umpire, etc.
3. Don't murder any of our good players.

Worse temper? Bradley.
Crazier? Zambrano. I'm not sure there's a player in the league crazier than Zambrano.

Turk Wendell isn't playing anymore, is he?

Bradley would forever be my favorite Cub if that happened.

Come on, I like Ronny.
As far as the lunatic comparison between Bradley and z...it's a tough one.
Which is cool. We have some eccentric characters on the team, and that always makes for better entertainment. I think it'll also help in the post-season, to have guys who are a little <i>off</i>. Might freak out the other team, too.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance

Deal is done. 3/30.

Gordon Wittenmeyer:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->His new contract is believed to contain language that protects the team on the back end of the deal if Bradley misses significant playing time on the front end.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So there's what I mentioned the other day, don't completeley understand how it works, though.

I'm guessing that if he misses siginficant playing time on the first year his salary will be reduced for the other two. Something like that.
