Crazy Uncle Milton's Shot Blasting Sploogefest Emporium

According to the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan, the Cubs will receive $9 million from the Mariners to cover part of Carlos Silva's remaining salary.
Silva is owed $24 million over the next two seasons and Mitlon Bradley is owed $21 million, so the Cubs are basically making out with $6 million in the deal. Of course, that doesn't make up for the fact that Chicago is getting by far the worse player. Silva posted an 8.60 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 30 innings this past season and a 6.46 ERA over 153 1/3 innings in 2008. Bradley batted a disappointing .257/.378/.397 this season with Chicago but is only one year removed from a career-best .321/.436/.563 batting line.

Yeah, but we just downgraded the clubhouse from CANCER to an infected hemorrhoid.

So, basically, the Cubs have replaced Milton Bradley and Rich Harden with Carlos Silva.

Very quick look at the numbers, that's an addition of negative five wins.

Plus won't $2 million of that go towards his buy-out in 2012?  Meaning we really made out with about $4 million for Carlos Fucking Silva?

Sully's got some nerve nicechoicejim'ing this deal now after trashing Bradley all season long. I think the team/fans/players/media in this godforsaken burgh deserve one another. We're all shit.

[Slaky]

I didn't write this but it needs to be asked:

What does it say about Carlos Silva that the Mariners are willing to fork over $9 million dollars and take on a psychotic malcontent to be rid of him?

Since fatshit BH is allergic to links, I'll clarify this one - that's not Sully talking, it's the Rotoworld guys.

The good: No way Hendry can keep his job after this season.

The bad: Carlos Silva, the fat papsmear.

The worst: InternetChuck will be along shortly to claim vindication about some aspect of this trade.

[Yeti]

On a totally different note, the Mariners are going to be really good.

My new favorite team

[Shooter]

The only way the whole Milton Bradley era -- from signing to trade -- could be made worse is for Hendry to extend Silva.

The Cubs are the a team that everyone loves to make fun of and Sox fans love to hate - but nobody, NOBODY hates the Cubs more than Cubs fans like us. My Atheismo, this rageahol is unmatched.

I'd put an assassination attempt on Silva happening before that.

If you did that today, do we still have to pay him?
