Seriously? Milton Bradley?

You now, I was really excited for the Seattle Mariners for a little while there. They were movin’ and shakin’ all over the place this winter.

First they signed Chone Figgins, adding some speed and pop to the top of their batting order. Also, he’s great defensively and can play pretty much anywhere. It’s not like they had to break the bank, either. They managed to grab the second third baseman for $36 million over four years with a possible 2014 option. Not bad.

Then, they nabbed a whopper: 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee, who will be one half of what is likely to be one of the most killer one-two punches in baseball along with Felix Hernandez.

The Mariners were beginning to take shape as the team to contend with in the AL West.

Then they totally crapped the bed. Milton Bradley you guys? Are you joking me? Do you not read the news, Jack Zduriencik? You’ll regret this, buddy. Mark my words. That dude is loony toons. A bad egg. A rotten apple. He’ll bring dysfunction to your happy family… and he’s not really that good at baseball anymore, either.

Get ready to be persecuted, Seattle fans. It’s going to be your fault soon enough.
