I will not add anything more. My first thought, after "Dammit Milton stop" was wondering how the situation would be discussed here. So far, I've not been surprised.

IMO, what's getting overlooked is that Bradley if not stopped by someone would have phsically asaulted an official.

There is a way to handle things. If Winters (and we still do not have the entire story) did utter a racial comment then he should be reprimanded by the league.

Suspended for the remainder of the season and playoffs (if he was on the lsit) and his future as an official in MLB to be determined.

Write or Wrong reputation comes into play. I am a NY Giant Fan and because of Jeremy Shockey's rep he does not get the benefit of doubt. He recently got called for a 15 yard unsportmanlike conduct penalty in the Packer game that was suspect but Shockey only has himself to blame.

Same with Bradley.

This does not get the official "off the hook" if indeed he instigated the entire episode.

The point I am making is that you cannot have an athlete in prime condition attack an official.

Would it be alright for Bartolo Colon to attack?

As a Phillies fan, I wish Antonio Alfonseca would.

And as a Yankees fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Kyle Farnsworth suspended until....oh.... about November, 2008.

Join the "We Hate Kyle" association ("WHKA") started by North Fulton High School coaches when he was at Milton HS, Alpharetta GA.

Didn't miss that for one second, Pete.
