The Cubs Continue to Look Bad

The recent back and forth of Jim Hendry and Milton Bradley is nothing short of hilarious. I just watched Bradley's interview where he states that he received hate mail in Chicago and that he didn't enjoy his time in the Windy City. He also stated in a different interview that he thought there was unrealistic expectations on him to hit for more power and do more for the team than should be expected of him.

And then Jim Hendry comes in and says that Milton should "look in the mirror" and basically blame himself for his poor season.

Here's my analogy of this whole situation:

Your buddy (Jim Hendry) decides to date this girl who is really not attractive and not that great of a girlfriend (Milton Bradley). All of your buddies know this guy is an idiot for dating this girl. It's obvious. And to make it worse, right off the bat, he gives the girl an expensive promise ring (3 years $30 million).

When your buddy is not around, you and your friends talk about how you can't believe the dumb decisions he's making. Then, after dating this girl for a year, your friend comes to his senses and breaks up with her, but she keeps the ring. Then, on poker night, your buddy talks like a big shot and tells all of you, "Yeah that girl was garbage! I'm glad I was smart enough to get rid of her!"

While he's telling you all of this, you are all thinking, "But dude, she took you to the cleaners and it took you a year to figure all of it out! Just shut up and quit talking like a big shot. You were dumb enough to date her." You are also wondering why you even hang out with this guy in the first place.

And the worst part is, your buddy is dumb enough to date other bad decisions named Soriano, Fukudome, and Zambrano.
