It still sounds like someone voicing their opinion. MLB and the owners are obviously taking a hard look at the financial situation of the sport coming up given the economy, and to think they would so readily dismiss a move that would ultimately bring more money to the game and increase the value of the teams doesn't just not make any sense...it's actually anti-logic. If the quote is legit and has something to it, this sport is in trouble.

Don't dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back. ;) Some of you misinterperate things. I was mostly pointing out that De Lucca is not exactly on top of things, and yeah when you share unpopular news it isn't well recieved. I want Cuban as an owner more than anyone. It's just that when someone close to the situation tellls you it aint gonna happen like they tell you there is no Santa you understand or you deny. The ESPN and Cuban talk is just spin-control. MLB will look very bad if this is proven. On another point though, other than Bruce Miles, these writers who cover baseball in this town don't know Howry! Not saying I do, but holy Howry they make this stuff up it seems half the time. Hendry told me that the only reporter he trusts with anything is Bruce Levine. Mostly because Levine has info from all of the GM's and they share. Levine has been way out in front on the Peavy stuff as the writers were poo-pooing it. Now they jump on the bandwaggon. So, in short, there's still absolutely nothing that indicates this is anything besides an MLB employee talking out of his or her ass or giving their opinion.

I'd prefer to do it the more productive and awesome new fashioned ways. -

Are you questioning his careful consideration and research? -
Given how much the economic situation is going to hit baseball, that some of them would refuse to bring in an owner that would help them all make more money seems remarkably stupid.

I poked fun at how he got the info, not who he is. Called that being cyncial about all big names trades after what happen in the Roberts trade discussion. So if he thought I poked fun at him, then I apologize, I meant no harm. I was trying to poked fun at how he got it. It seemed as though you addressed the situation with your usual careful consideration and research. -
Farewell, Greg

Yeah, definitely. He was gone the first time around when I was barely old enough to appreciate him. He didn't set the world on fire with his 2nd go-around as a Cub, but it was cool seeing him get his 3,000th k. -
Take my Rich Hill, PLEASE.

Didn't stop, especially since the weather turned cool.

When will it be time for his code red?

You're an elitist elitist.

"Elitism" maybe wins the 2008 "misused word of the year" award.

Defense and coaches should be ashamed.

This is like watching two [expletive] kids fighting in the schoolyard.

About freakin' time. Who the hell is that?

Freak out? It's not like this is a good Bears team. Their defense is wretched. the lions are the worst team in the league. no excuse to be losing at home to the worst team in the league. repeat: the worst team in the league. So? Freaking out, to me, implies that losing to the Lions "proves" something about this Bears team that people were ignoring or not seeing before and that we need to worry. What is there to worry about? It's a medicore Bears team at best, and typical of their behavior...win a game, think that means they're hot isht and get overconfident so they tank the next game. yeah, except that they'll prove that they're worse than a winless team. So what? i don't get where you are going with this. it's a football game, not a philosophical dilemma. You keep saying the Lions are the worst team like the Bears winning is a gimme, but it's not. The Bears team is not terribly good and this is football...you gotta earn every win.
