ESPN 1000: Silverman ripping Levine again

[RynoRules]

As I write this. Says Levine did a "softball" interview with Hendry yesterday; acted like a "Cubs PR" guy.

 

Good stuff. Silverman killing Cubs for being less than fwd re injury issues, particularly Prior. Levine fighting back by saying that Cubs haven't misled the fans and that Silverman acts like a fan.

 

Good radio. Listen in if possible.

Levine:

 

- Nobody wins titles without a good pen. Look at the Sox. The Cubs have an opportunity to have that sort of pen.

 

- Williamson is throwing hard; doubt they will trade him, unless its for someone like Zito.

 

- Wood will be throwing sitting-down on the tramp (ugh) soon.

 

- Its fair to criticize Cubs for the Wood and Prior issues, but let the pitchers be responsible for what they do.

IMO: With no basis for this whatsoever other than my own instincts and history, I think Hendry and the Cubs may have sent a message to the local media that he close ranks on them if they put him under the hot lights in an interview, thereby making it difficult for beat guys to get on him or interview him "tough". I don't like Levine, but I would not be surprised if this were the case.

 

Again, just my opinion. I am sure Bruce Miles has a more informed opinion.
