I am in no way shape or form a gameboy Milton (Parker Brothers) Bradley fan but reading about what happened... (and I do believe he was goaded not that it takes much but the umps played mind games with him)... and being a conspiracy theorist, I wonder if the umps had money on the game and the Phillies clinching the wildcard. Or MLB itself who knows the Padres will always be the Padres but the Phillies need a big attendence boost.
I mean what better way to fix it than to take out the Padres only bat. You, as an ump, know the guy has a temper and is easily pushed into hot headedness tantrums......
Just saying, I would hope and pray the sport I love is better than this and it is a pipe dream.... but I don't know anymore... steroids, using livelier balls.... games can be easily fixed by that one close call or a few close pitching calls or getting a hot head to come at an ump and get an automatic suspension.
