I’m talking about when I go to eat at a restaurant. I’ve got to listen to the waiters badmouthing me at another table, sitting in a restaurant. That’s what I’m talking about. Everything.” You are a tool, Milton Bradley. Fans aren't booing you because you are ... http://www.thedailycub.com/2009/08/28/dont-go-away-mad-milton-bradley-just-go-away/ I'm finally ready to get back to my Cubs coverage, I'm sorry that it took so long, but I finally have everything set up in my dorm but first, it's been a while, how about a little update on how the writer is doing (shameless promotion time, if you don't ... http://www.thedailycub.com/2009/08/26/im-back-and-here-are-my-thoughts/ Again, I am extremely sorry for the lack of posting these past few weeks.
