CHICAGO --
Milton Bradley's suspension was reduced from two games to one by Major League Baseball on Thursday, but that didn't make him any happier. The
Chicago Cubs outfielder still feels he was a victim of his reputation as a hothead.
"It figures," he said after MLB announced its decision regarding the April 16 incident. "I never get treated fairly. This is me. This is exactly what I expected.
"I'm Milton Bradley, you know what I'm saying? You expect me to be crazy and throw stuff and do whatever."
Bradley didn't throw anything after umpire Larry Vanover called him out on strikes with the bases loaded. But the famously volatile ballplayer did get in Vanover's face and the umpiring crew contended that Bradley's hat made slight contact with Vanover. It was Bradley's first Wrigley Field at-bat after he had signed a $30 million contract during the offseason.
