Re: New GM/Cubs Future News Articles

The last two years when many thought he was being a crappy owner he was just letting the team purge itself. Amazing brain trust (almost) in place and they are going to have only 2 years of Soriano after this season inherited.

 

I don't think they're going to have any years of Soriano.

BCB in general is kind of a septic tank for thought.

Wow this is amazing, all this blue balls Theo's been giving me and Mr. Ricketts just gave me a happy ending and finished it off. I can go to bed and wake up one happy [expletive] camper.

Pretty sure he broke the Harden trade too.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

BASICALLY done.

[Epsteenie]

He keeps retweeting other people telling him how great a job he's doing on the story. It's hilarious.

[seanimal]

as awesome as kaplan's coverage of this situation has been, it will never balance the scales for saying he'd rather have a team of 9 ryan theriots than 9 aramis ramirez'zs

 

this is pretty awesome stuff though.

 

does abuck still exist? I heard kaplan say on the radio that epstein went on tour with pearl jam. i mean, can that friedman guy say that? pff

My personal favorite Gammons moment was when he came on BBTN at the trade deadline in 2004 and categorically said Nomar was not going to be traded, less than an hour before it was announced that he was.

my favorite was when he went on espnnews and said that nomar was going nowhere 5 min after the deadline, just as the cubs/red sox trade news came across the bottom of the screen

I think that is what I was remembering there. Regardless, Ol' Pete's track record for predictions and factual reporting is not so hot.

[Hollandsworths mug]

From what I read on sosh, Theo is like a son to Gammons. This partially explains Gammons rant today on the Cubs. Gammons is hurting.

make that grandson

Is Theo like a son to Gammons, or does Pete think Theo is his son?

Indeed. He was all over the Harden trade weeks before it happened. His sources are usually spot-on when it comes to the Cubs.

He's very well connected. Too bad he's a slobbering buffoon.

RT @thekapman Still need commissioners blessing to make announcement on Fri. That is not expected to be an issue.
