"The Seattle Mariners will Regret this Day . . . ."
Steve Henson of Yahoo on the signing Milton Bradley . . .
The Seattle Mariners will regret this day. Just like the Indians regret July 31, 2001, the Dodgers regret April 3, 2004, the Athletics regret Dec. 13, 2005, the Padres regret June 29, 2007, and the Cubs deeply, deeply regret Jan. 9, 2009.
Milton Bradley(notes) does that to teams. Makes them lament their gullibility for believing he can change. Makes them furious at their tunnel vision, so certain it will be different in their organization, in their clubhouse, in their lineup. Makes them wonder why his ability to hit a baseball from both sides of the plate clouded their better judgment.

Sean O'Sullivan
Interesting analysis of Sean O'Sullivan over at the SB Nation Rays site . . .
Tonight we face Angels starter Sean O'Sullivan. He has thrown just 34.1 innings this year, but has shown to be a decent option for a team that has struggled to find consistent and/or healthy pitching all year. According to Fangraphs, he features a 90 MPH fastball about 60% of the time that, so far, has been really underwhelming (-1.87 wFB/C, think Bronson Arroyo). He'll go to a curveball about 22% and it isn't much better (-0.45 wCB/C, think Ross Ohlendorf). However, his change so far has been a true money pitch . . . .

Vlad in Lineup Tonight
CHICAGO
Vladimir Guerrero is in the lineup for tonight’s game against the Chicago White Sox, his first since straining a muscle behind his left knee on July 7.
No word yet on who moves on the roster to make room for his activation from the DL.

Fangraphs: Anaheim Goes Clubbing
For the last few years, the Angels offensive game plan has been to try to get a few fast guys on the bases in front of Vladimir Guerrero and then hope he hits a three run homer. They could afford some offensive weaknesses thanks to their starting rotation, and they built a winner out of run prevention with just enough offense to get by . . . .
