This is all very well said.
Over at MC, I am primarily annoyed with the TNT for (evidently) covering up that the posting of that article that started all this slime slinging was done before the sources were properly cross-checked.  You don't take agents at their word, but I don't buy that Goldberg is completely making that story up.
Beyond that, I have viewed many of these events as GOOD SIGNS for the Mariner clubhouse.  Sweeney sticking up for his teammates without question, the teammates all instantly buying in (and the ones who told LaRue what they did hopefully getting an important early lesson in how to behave in the big leagues), Cliff Lee - the guy who's supposed to be here on temporary assignment before he resumes his career in Boston or wherever - buying in to the ponit of refusing to talk to the media with LaRue present, the team's handling of Milton Brandley, etc.  The Mariners are 13-21 and yet they are still one big family in the locker room.  If any team can turn around a 13-21 start...it would be this one.
