A man from Burr Ridge is accused of sending threatening emails to the president and owner of the Chicago Blackhawks and the former general manager of the Chicago Cubs, accusing them of “stealing his ideas” to win championships, police said.

 

Emanuel Kuvakos, 56, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with three counts of misdemeanor harassment by electronic means, police said.

 

Kuvakos sent “a number’’ of emails to Blackhawks CEO John McDonough and to Jim Hendry, the former general manager of the Chicago Cubs, that accused them of “stealing his ideas to win championships,’’ according to a police report.

 

On Saturday, he sent them another email stating that he would keep the Blackhawks from winning the Stanley Cup, police said.

 

While being interviewed by authorities, he claimed he also sent a message to Rocky Wirtz, the Blackhawks owner, which saying that if he ever saw Wirtz, he would beat him, according to the police report.

i would not be altogether surprised to learn that jim hendry was getting his ideas for winning championships from some crazyball guy he didn't know who sent him random emails

Yeah this sounds like Hendry trying to revive his career by saying he was forced to make moves under threat of physical harm from some psycho.

Most likely, sure, but it's still too early to rule anything out.

hendry probably sensed trouble and figured he'd better send zambrano to the bullpen/suspend him at random rather than allow him to start.

I don't see anything in that story about the crazy man suggesting any three team trades.

Who are we kidding? Hendry doesn't know how to use a computer, let alone email (both sending and receiving of).

i think imb told a story once about having a boss who made one of his underlings print out all his emails and bring them to him. i would totally buy it if we heard that guy that hendry hired as director of informational statistics or whatever spent most of his time doing that.

I had forgotten that. That's great.

 

A partner at a firm I used to work at would forward almost every email to his secretary with the note "p;dtm" (print; deliver to me). Ugh.
