The prices of fish oil capsules has risen significantly. I am giving my child 2 capsules a day to help him with math. Does anybody know where I an find an affordable solution? By the way, it is great. His grade went up 2 points after consuming fish oil capsules.

Mr. Bradley is a fantastic talent who is suffering some real problems with his visibility as a professional athlete. The lesson here is that Milton will not be given even the slightest “benefit of the doubt” concerning his conduct, wherever he goes. If he is successful in Seattle, it will be because he is kept in the background, as much as possible. Real shame he made the mistake of characterising Chicagoans as racists. Idiotic comment, and one that will haunt him through the rest of his career.

I wasn’t on the team, I don’t know what it was like inside the Cubs clubhouse last season, maybe it was awful with Bradley around. But, I know that it wasn’t because of Bradley that they didn’t make the playoffs.
If a relief pitcher can be called in baseball jargon, a “fireman”, you could call the Cubs bullpen “arsonists”.
They blew game after game. I watched the Cubs here in Europe on ESPN America, the bullpen was awful. That’s what lost it, Bradley had nothing to do with that. Had the bullpen done it’s job, Bradley would have been entertaining.

Everyone focuses on the Cubs and forgets that the situation was just fine (or at least appeared so) in Texas. The Mariners knew what they had in Silva (i.e. nothing), so hoping they get the Texas version of Bradley is an excellent gamble worth taking.

Maybe they are thinking about another Milton Bradley?
I thought if anyone in baseball could get Bradley to behave and play well with others it would be Pinella, guess I was wrong on that one.
It is a shame that the Mariners decided to derail what was shaping up to be one helluva off-season and possible regular season by bringing in this do-do-do-do-whackado.

Bradley played the race card in the media in Chicago;
Funny, Billy Williams, Andre Dawson and Sammy Sosa, right fielders as Bradley was,last I looked, they were of darker skin color, heck 2 of them were black, and endeared by the fans at Wrigley Field.
If Bradley was blind, who would he hate then !!
Good luck Seattle, we get you trash, you get ours !!!

Bradley is a high maintenance player. Probably higher maintenance than he is worth. Still, he is a good player. The Cubs problem was that they had no plan to handle Bradley when trouble began. The Cubs may have told Milton don’t do that again. My guess is that the Seattle FO will be pro-active with Bradley and have a plan to get the most out of him. Their plan may not work, but I know they won’t sit back and say, “Milton Bradley won’t a problem” except for PR releases.

He’s a good guy with some very bad, very publicized days. On the days in between meltdowns he plays hardnosed, passionate baseball. Lou Pinella has probably called his best friends pieces of shit a hundred times each. By the way – Lou and Milton understood each other all too well. Lou is also a good guy with some very bad days.
The biggest problem they both have is that they’re under the microscope 24-7 with the new multimedia news circus. What sort of guy do you think Ty Cobb would be painted as by this bloodthirsty new gang of digital media pirates?
