Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka

Your posts are becoming about as repetitive as B2B.

 

Your obsession about me is pretty repetitive too.

This is strange how quickly everyone thinks the Cubs are getting him and nobody from the Cubs are denying the rumors..

 

Deny what rumors? Everyone knows the Cubs really really want him. There's nothing to deny there.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to not view ABTY as that legit of a source for rumors. He hasn't had much success at all.

 

Plenty of the stuff he has talked about has obviously had legs.

 

The moves don't need to happen for him to be right about the stuff he has said.

 

The stuff out right now about the TV deal is stuff he had suggested could happen (albeit with other networks named) months ago.

"We aren't the leaders for Tanaka, we assure you."

On the one hand, we're getting him.

 

On the other hand, it'd be pretty funny if the news broke that we weren't right in the middle of Cubs Convention.

 

How about a Cliff Alexander like press conference? They could put several hats in front of Tanaka and he could reach for the Cubs had and just before he picks it up, he puts it down and puts on the Dodger hat.

Well, I don't find your obsession with me as being funny. Actually, I find it kind of sad, pathetic, and more than a little creepy.

Yep. I and the probably more than half of this board who is annoyed by your garbage posting for the last two years have a creepy and pathetic obsession with you.

alright, this went off the rails for no good reason.

[Banedon]

Agreed. Lets drop the personal sniping.

He's definitely Mr Negativity in regards to all things Cubs.

Well Sullivan's playing off the "Cubs are abandoning their 88 year olds in Peoria that have a booster club" story, so GW ain't running away with the title.

[Guest]

I was told there would be no more Sullivan.

 

Wittenmyer is really bad too.

I still remember him trying to kill Theo's vibe about a TV deal on that CSN show and Theo essentially laughing at his face.

[Guest]

At least people realize it... Spiegel (on Mac and Spiegs) was saying that you could hear Wittenmyer grinding his axe in the background of his call-in.

Yeah, that was awesome.

 

Cringing at the possibility that Wittenmyer was right. Probably not though.

I don't know what you want from Cubs beat writers? Spew the party line? Be cheerleaders? Look at what the tiresome Kapman does on CSN. Last night he asked Bruce Levine: "of the Cubs top 10 prospects, which ones are HOF?". Are you kidding me..what a moron.

 

When you're destined to be a 90-100 loss team in 2014, I'd rather have a little truth not malarkey from the beat writers.

It's pretty clear the front office has entirely shut off him and Sullivan from any remotely insider information, and they're both pretty upset about it. It's hilarious.

"Truth" and "Beat Writer" don't belong in the same sentence. Cynicism from Wittenmeyer isn't any more true than the opposite.

That's not clear at all. Wittenmeyer has a source. I'm 90% sure it's Crane Kenney.

[USSoccer]

There's some room in between "spew the party line" and "be completely unobjective in your reporting".

How is that clear at all? Wittenmeyer seems like he does get some actual info, and Sullivan's angle has not changed one bit during his decades of covering the team.

I would think the vast majority(if not all) of our beat writers are miffed that the national guys break almost all of our news. And if its not the national guys, it's Cafardo or Sherman.
