This guy named GTZasker or something like that was a semi regular poster at Cubs.com for a couple months. Then one day there's a post by someone claiming to be his brother who posted to tell everyone that the real guy had died in a boating accident over the weekend. There actually had been a boating accident resulting in a fatality the previous weekend. A bunch of people cried bs and started poking holes in the "brother's" story. I have to admit, I told people to shut up because why would anyone fake their own death on a message board? About 3 weeks later, the guy returns from the dead saying he did the whole thing as a psych experiment for a class he was taking at ... maybe Northwestern or DePaul. This resulted in a long debate over whether that was the real reason he did it. A lot of people were genuinely upset over all of this. It all seems really silly now. Imb?

I'm pleasantly surprised. I was resigned to Ballard being GM, which was not necessarily a bad thing, of course. I'm curious to see if there are new candidates for HC brought in soon, might be a sign that Pace wants to go his own direction.
National stories like this need to keep being written to influence change for the ownership. Trestman is such a weirdo. Addressing the team from the back of the room? I'm glad to see Emery catching flak, too. He needs to be fired along with Trestman.
it seems dumb as hell but I don't see the "bugged" angle. wasn't it at the field? Yep after the Cowboys game. I, too, am very curious what drove Kromer to come clean. Anonymous quotes to reporters happen all the time. It's likely Kromer had done it before. So why reveal himself about this? The NFL Network's story with the quotes didn't come out until Sunday. Trestman said he knew about it the a Friday before. There's more to the story.
I have to imagine he was outed but maybe he just felt remorse about all the uproar this story caused and decided to come clean. If it's the latter, he committed career suicide because of guilt.
