Just to play the parlor game... The piece attributes the quote to an AL GM. I'm not one to obsess over the Southsiders, but I could see Kenny Williams saying something like that. Stoney's recent comments about Harden not pitching at the same velocity/ease could reflect what he's heard around the Sox org, i.e. hearing directly or indirectly Kenny badmouthing Harden's health. Plus the reference to hearing what Piniella wanted (not that you'd have to be in Chitown to have "heard" that), I could see Kenny telling himself that as a way of reassuring himself about standing pat before the deadline, as in "I'm strong enough to run my ship, and not let my manager dictate irrational deals." Well it makes sense because he was the last person to see Harden when he was an A...the same start when people speculated his velocity was down and probably his worst overall start of the season. Yeah OK that's true, but kind of off subject going with what I said about the them being bitter. Why is it for the last two years at Wrigley that he has to make fun of the stadium and locker room? I feel like when they won the World Series and were doing better he wasn't talking about it and ever since last year that its the first thing he says when he get there. I know that was off subject sorry, but I never understood that
