You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Well, it's a fanbole (hyperbole for sports fans) because it just happened, and, as rok said, this was the worst-case scenario for a Bradley trade. I'm sure that if you picked through the catacombs of the past decade, you could find a worse situation than what has transpired since Jim the GM set his sights on Milton Bradley.

But I'm biased. Let's see what others are saying:

From ESPN:
"Brilliant. Again.

Jack Zduriencik, Seattle's GM, I mean. The Mariners, at little or no additional financial expense, have traded a player who might be quite useful for a player who almost certainly will not be useful. Yes, baseball's a funny game. Silva's still a relatively young man, and might again pitch effectively some-
day. <i>But considering that Silva's been terrible in each of the last two seasons, and that Bradley was great in 2008 and decent in 2009, doesn't this seem like an incredibly lopsided deal, talent-wise?</i> "

Yes. Yes it does.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
