I meant to add one more thing to my update...Milton Bradley finally heard some cheers yesterday after being booed (and rightfully so) throughout the homestand over the weekend. Of course the cheers he heard last night occurred in Houston's Minute Maid Park (a.k.a. The Juice Box) after he struck out with 2 men on in the first inning. He was also cheered when he struck out looking in the 8th with runners at 2nd and 3rd and nobody out.
Has anyone seen a different approach from MB after starting the season hitting just over half the Mendoza line (now hitting .143 after 1-4 last night raised his average)? He did drive in his 3rd run of the season - to put that in better perspective of how HORRIBLE that is...Soriano (the Cubs' lead-off man) had 3 RBIs just last night and he now has 17 to tie Fontenot for the team lead. Don't you HAVE to try something different when you're struggling this badly and killing your team with your complete lack of production? His RBI single in the 3rd was only his second hit with runners on base and first with RISP.
He'll need to pick it up for the Cubs to do anything significant this year (i.e. win a playoff game/series).
