October 5, 200718 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3050020 Padres outfielder Milton Bradley has escaped punishment for his argument with umpire Mike Winters on September 23. MLB VP of On-field Operations, Bob Watson, determined that, since Bradley did not "make physical contact" with Winters, there is no need to punish him as it was already determined that he was provoked. Winters was suspended for the last week of the season and rendered ineligible to participate in this year's playoff umpire crews. Unfortunately, since he sustained an ACL tear while being restrained by his manager, Bradley may miss time next year anyway.
