[...] Bradley didn’t like Chicago and now all the Cublogosphere is up in [...]

pfk-
These posts cannot stop until the collective Cubs fan base comes forward and admits the truth. You cannot live in denial and expect to truly move forward in support of this organization. You owe it to yourselves to take a personal inventory and, initially, spend time in quiet reflection on the facts. When you have cleared your minds of the clutter of harsh words and accusations, consoled yourself for wasted salary cap, and accepted what has become reality – then, and only then, will you be free. So…

Let’s take the first step together in admitting the problem, because this is not exclusive to Cubs fans. Say it with me and we’ll all be on the road to recovery. Ready? Here we go…”My name is _____ and I have a problem with psycho board-game-named outfielders”. Ahh, that feels good! Blue skies ahead, my friend, bluuuuue skies…

If you would like to continue this therapy in person, I have just opened an office in the greater Seattle area in expectation of the need in that region.

Thanks, pfk. Glad to have you, and I’ll keep doing my best.

I understand and thanks.
Just so you know, I absolutely love your blog. I am so fed up with the beat writers.
I now go to my favorite blogs for real insight that is unfiltered and fun to read.
Funny, you guys are doing this out of love for the Cubs and not getting paid, yet when I go to your blog (or others) and it is the same story as the day before or from earlier in the day, I’m disappointed….then become thankful that I have you to read as an alternative to the daily junk I read on line at the Trib or Sun Times.

I’m sorry, pfk. Consider it a one-time relapse.

The truth is, I’m tired of the constant MB stories, too, but unlike the stream of them you see in the mainstream media, I didn’t create this one out of whole cloth. This was a new, highly relevant quote from Bradley, and was worth reporting on. In general, though, you won’t see much more of Bradley in this space.

To All Who Write About The Cubs,
Can we please move on from Bradley? I’m interested in THIS Cubs team and there are so many other fresh stories to be written. I’m so tired of picking up the Trib or Sun Times and reading about Bradley, which is why I LOVE the various Cubs blogs like Bleacher Nation or Waxpaperbeercup. Usually I get an interesting perspective, fresh unfiltered news. But now I’m seeing Bradley here too.
PLEASE…move on.

I truly feel bad for this man. He obviously has serious issues and needs our compassion. Having said that, Jim Hendry should have been firied on the spot when he signed this poor basterd to a 3 year deal! Seriously!

And then I said a prayer for King Felix’s elbow.

Hey. Hey. Hey. If you’re going to use Cublogo-anything, please: let it be Cublogoverse.

Literally the funniest thing I read all week. Because you know he only averaged like .315 the past two seasons so it’s wrong to think he’ll be anything but a .250 hitter. Also, I guess nowadays ten million only buys you 10 homers and 50 RBI’s.
