    Why would the Tribune Company sell the Cubs? The Cubs are a cash cow. If they sell the Cubs, they risk losing the Cub games on WGN. Yes the Tribune owes a billion in taxes, but as long as fans are coming, why do they care if they put a good produt in the field.

    They had a vested interest in this story not going public. Fortunately it did. I wonder if Hendry knew it got out which is why he has been doing hordes of interviews lately.
  3. Wilson A2000
    Didn't Sullivan indicate that it wasn't him who leaked the story? Regardless, I can only ask why? Why would either Hendry or MacPhail feel the need to do this? I mean, what where they thinking? Everyone who reads Sullivan know he's more gossip columnist then beat writer. And on top of all that, why should they care? If Jones is that fragile, if I'm Hendry I'm looking to get him out Chicago on the next flight to KC, Miami, or Seattle. holy smokes, this is bad. Real, real, bad. But it does explain a lot about the Cubs. Sullivan didn't say who leaked the story, but Sullivan wanted it to stay in house. He did say he always got along with Hendry and thought he did with MacPahail, but is still mad at MacPhail now. What were they thinking? They didn't want the company that owns the Cubs ripping the Cubs. The Score ripped this apart today. What purpose do you have as a writer if you can't be objective? You can't get rid of Jones. He is the Cubs hottest hitter, even though that aint saying much. Remember Sullivan misquotes Jones. Jones isn't as fragile as Sullivan made him seem. Walker is.

    Well then for that Sullivan and McGrath deserved a scolding, especialyl when they didn't put out a correction the next day and Jacque got ripped. But the meeting was over far more than that.
  5. Wilson A2000
    Not sure if this has been mentioned already. McGrath was on the Score today and said that the incident happened 3 weeks ago, not last week. Is he right? Sullivan was on the Score also, he actually phoned in, and he said the berating was not over the Jones quote alone, but over his whole career and "it got personal." So did Sullivan misquote Jones or not? McGrath must have bene wrong on when it happened, cause the Jones quote happened in the last week. Then I heard Bruce on ESPN and he made it seme like the lashing was just over the Jones quote or misquote. I guess he did not hear about the Score interview where Sullivan himself said it was over far more than that. Caplan on WGN came to the same analysis as did Miles so I guess the Score interview never got to them either.

    Walgreens should give a hundred bucks every time a Cub walks someone if they really wNt to raise money
  7. Wilson A2000
    He is one of the Cubs' hottest hitters, but he has got to be benched. Dusty needs to make a statement. Now shoot who is going to play right?

    I love the minor league team that had Lawyer Night and all the lawyers had to pay double
  9. Wilson A2000
    Dusty's gotta be fired soon. As soon as any GM gives his approval for the manager, the manager is usually fired the next week.
  10. Wilson A2000
    Is this the last year of Barry's deal?
  11. Wilson A2000
    A bad old Clines is still better than Blanco and Neifi. Clines could coax a walk. Neifi battles not to swings at intentional walks and hates to go to first after them.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Dude, you're making Darren cry. Or maybe Darren scolds Dusty every time Dusty comes home. But Darren scolds him as he makes Dusty a Scotch.

    Highest paid baby sitter in the world
  14. Wilson A2000
    Yeah there is no reason to give a contract to Maddux now. Who knows what kind of year he could have. I hope he pitches great, but I'd still let it all play out. Here's my dream coaching team: Girardi, Maddux as PC, Ryno as HC, Bench Coach is Dawson, and the base coaches are Grace and Sosa (LOL!)
  15. Wilson A2000
    Can Dusty bat? He was a pretty darn good hitter in his day. The Sarge could too. So could Clines.
  16. Wilson A2000
    Not to start discension, but is that typical Morgan or does any of that factor into race?
  17. Wilson A2000
    I am not so sure that Stone thinks it would be a bad idea. Stone has a ton of good things to say about Maddux. Even as a fifth starter, you can't fidn much better. He would be pricey, but price should not be an option for this team. He would demand more than he is worth, but it is money well spent if he gets you 13-15 wins a season.
  18. Wilson A2000
    I'd like Maddux to become the Cubs pitching coach whenever he retires. I'd even sign him next year as a player/coach (if that's allowed) According to Stone, he does more for the pitchers than Larry
  19. Wilson A2000
    Nothing significant popped up on Google when I searched for "Is Neifi Perez married" but I did get a response from the admin saying "What the heck are you searching for this for?"
  20. Wilson A2000
    Wasn't Larussa on the hot seat a few years ago. Can't be too unhappy with him now.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Then you should drink more. Or dance like Neifi. Or with Neifi. Is Neifi married?
  22. Wilson A2000
    That's what they pay him the big bucks for. He should be earning his pay. Stone on the radio today said that he believes Maddux will get an extension soon to held solidify him as a Cub entering the Hall and to get people's focss off of the losing team.
  23. Wilson A2000
    All he did was defend himself. The worst part is that he knows he screwed up and he won't admit it. Just come clean.

    I listne to a far amount if sports radio and you can call that whatever you want, but most people want Dusty to leave like a fart in the wind
