Another Len Kasper Q&A on Desipio

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Apparently Len has done another Q&A at Desipio.

 

Here's a Link.

 

It's very entertaining.

[Careless]

After your predecessors destroyed the 2004 Cubs’ playoff chances, we were expecting immediate improvement after their replacement. But the team was actually worse last year than the year before. How do you and Bob plan to make it up to us in 2006?

:D

LOL!

Len Kasper is damn funny. I wish he would do another Q & A here, so I can ask him the hard hitting questions.

[Drew Doughty]

hahaha

[Andy]

No word yet on what Len thinks of Furcal ruining his "Furcal is a Cub" scoop? :P

[MPrior]

Wow. There's a lot of NSBB bashing over there. Crazy. I'd never really paid much attention.

 

On a second note, that was pretty funny.

They bash everyone and everything there. Poor Hoops is the but of frequent jokes. It is what NSBB would be like if we didn't have people to control us.

Yeah, you hear that, hoops? if it wasn't for those pesky mods we'd have dealt with you long ago!

Hoops, aka Sanjay H, gets absolutely hammered at Desipio. You have to admit though, theres a big sycophantic feeling eminating from this forum - Hoops, Bruce Miles, it never ends.

How’s the visibility?

Len: I know Steve Stone and that’s NOT his typewriting. Nice try.

 

:lol:

I disagree. I just think those that know their antics won't be tolerated, or in some respects have been banned because of, are a little jealous of the contacts that this site has developed. Jealousy runs deep for some.

What will Derrek Lee have to do to win the MVP next year?

Apparently, having more homeruns and better batting average than Pujols doesn’t do the trick. And neither does scoring a whopping 120 runs and driving in an impressive 107 RBIs on a team that only scored 703 runs. And apparently having the best glove in the NL doesn’t seem to matter in the MVP voting.

Len: He needs to hope his teammates are a lot better.

 

 

Brilliant.

Nah, they're not jealous - they just don't care. I visit both here and Desipio, and for different reasons. I was just pointing out a personal opinion with the sychophantic comment - but I really believe it, people love to jump on bandwagons here. In 03, love dusty, love hendry, - now, hate both. up until 2005, love corey - now, hate him. Everyone's always asking Bruce Miles questions when I think cpatt20 (even though I disagree with him on 99.9% of stuff), vance, diffusion, etc., know just as much if not more about the Cubs.

 

edit: I will say congrats to the mods of this website for developing the contacts they have - it's very impressive and shows the amount of time put into this site. I just wish people had more of their own opinion sometimes, and were more supportive of the Cubs, example: booing Corey, how is that going to help anything when he's still a Cub?

because everyone on this site, who all share the same opinion, have gotten together and decided it was a great idea to boo Corey.

I missed the memo, because I still like Corey. I thinkt there is no way he can have as bad a season as he had last year. I'd give him one more shot and let him bat 8th. Pie will be up in 1.5 years. Why make a change now?

 

But like I said. I missed the memo.

Ever see A Beautiful Mind? The "memos" are all in the magazines.

[Careless]

the corey bashers were always here. the corey defenders just got a lot quieter when he had an attrocious season.

Nobody ever accused me of being quiet before, but that's pretty accurate.

The reason we appreciate Bruce Miles's presence here and the information he provides is not only is he knowledgeable, but he has connections that most of us do not. He's able to pick up the phone and talk to Jim Hendry and through his work as a beat writer is closer to the organization than we are. While I appreciate you commenting on my knowledge, I don't have those ties. I have to rely on speculation and information that I glean from other places. It's for those reasons that we appreciate someone who could get us closer to the sources than we are able to get.

 

In addition, unlike many journalists, Bruce Miles seems to report things with a great deal of integrity and doesn't seem to get as caught up in the rumor mongering that occurs with a lot of journalists who want to get "the scoop."

Yeah, most people value Bruce's posts because it's much more in tune to what might or will happen.
