The Dodgers' biggest headache took care of itself Wednesday when center fielder Milton Bradley was told by Dr. Frank Jobe, the team orthopedist, that he needed season-ending surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his left knee and possible damage to his anterior cruciate ligament. Bradley will get a second opinion this week from Dr. Tim Kremchek, the Cincinnati Reds' medical director, but he is expected to have the surgery, which might mark the end of what has been a turbulent, two-year stint in Los Angeles. "He has an 80 percent tear of the patellar tendon and also some issues with the ACL," said Dodgers general manager Paul The announcement followed two days of meetings among DePodesta, Bradley and owner Frank McCourt following Bradley's latest bout with controversy, in which he stopped just short of calling teammate Jeff Kent a racist.
