I'll always remember how he sucked so badly for most of 2007 that Lou completely lost any faith in him. Guess that sucking worked out for him since it allowed him to get traded to the Phillies and get a ring.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Intersting. Hed actually been very good in his year and a half in Phillie.

who the [expletive] is stevie eyre?

[shnsajax]

I wonder whatever happened with all of his Madoff money that was lost/frozen?

[jersey cubs fan]

I wondered if he was going to try and hang on longer due to that whole issue with his money in the Stanford Financial mess.

But yet he insisted on trotting Howry out there no matter how badly he happened to suck.

Good question. I can vaguely remember a Steve [expletive] Eyre though.

Piniella always called him "Stevie Eyre"

Because he thought that was his name.

He was flat broke and the Bill giles and Dave Montgomery convinced the owning group to forward the money Steve was owed after his contract.

[C.C.]

This is surprising. It seemed he had more juice left in the tank for at least another year.

He even made himself a "Stevie Ire" glove: http://jaegersports.net/blog/entry.php?w=sportsdesk&e_id=91

"Lou doesn't know about the glove, but he will now. I hope it doesn't offend him or anything. Honestly, I thought it was funny." - Cubs reliever Scott Eyre.

 

Eyre had Rawlings make him a black glove with a red script signature reading: "Stevie Ire." That's what the language-mangling Piniella often has called Eyre (whose name is pronounced "Air") this season.
