Terrible press conference

The signing of Carl Everett is bad enough. Listening to the press conference last night just made it worse. It was like a recurring nightmare, only you're wearing less clothes each time you re-live it.

We knew going in to this signing Everett was an idiot. The child stuff, the dino stuff etc... but listening to him attempt to answer a question was painful!

How about his response to playing so far from his home in Florida? Carl procedes to ramble on about comfort zone, and generally sounds like he needs not only a batting coach, but a tutor and possibly a kindergarten teacher.

Bavasi and Hargrove faired no better>

"Today we achieved one of our offseason goals," Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi said.

Or how about the claim Hargrove actually picked Everett from a list of players that he wanted to see in an M's uniform??

Wow. I became less a fan of both Bavasi and Hargrove yesterday.
