From Jeff Sullivan’s mammoth post about the inevitable (and long overdue) end of Milton Bradley’s tenure with the Seattle Mariners:

Milton Bradley is like Wikipedia – the more you learn, the more you realize what you don’t know, and never will. The world is a complicated place, made up of complicated things and complicated people. Milton Bradley is a complicated person. He can be discussed in very simple terms, but he cannot be explained in anything less than a thesis, if he can be explained at all.

He probably can’t be explained. Not by us, anyway. Not without a lot of maybes. But Sullivan gives it a hell of a shot.
