I have now heard Joe Cowley and Steve Stone (both of whom I have liked everything they do) bring Gracies name into this whole 'Dollgate'. While they try to defend the sanctity of the Locker Room here they are tossing Gracies name around. This 'Slumpbuster' thing was one of the all time great "GUY" only inside jokes.

How can these guys come on the air , talking about the privacy of the locker room and then toss Gracie under the bus like this?

I hereby suspend Joe and Steve from the Chicago Mens Club pending a full review of the statements.

Didn't Stone pose for Playgirl in the 70's?

I really don't have a point by mentioning this other than to say that Stone was weird for doing this.

Big Fan, I don't think they're throwing Grace under the bus. I think Grace admitted to this "slump busting" in some publication a few years back.

He discussed it openly so others can certainly comment on it.

What was Grace's slumpbuster? I must have missed my Cub update somewhere along the line.

"Slumpbuster" used to mean one thing for baseball players.

Banging the ugliest girl in the bar. That's what Grace admitted to doing.

Any more info on this one from the esteemed members of the board. No names necessary but Grace couldn't have been the first guy to come up with the "Slumpbuster". If so ... kudos to him..

I heard both comments as well, and my reaction was the same as BF. I thought it was bad taste to throw Grace into the equation and talk about his real-life slump-busting.

And I am a rare Cub fan who "hated" Mark Grace. Non-RBI son-of-a-bitch

If Grace has made his conquests public, then I don't have a problem with what Joe or Steve said.

Yeah, I heard Grace describe it in a live radio interview once.

Assuming my memory isn't failing me...

I'm pretty sure for Gracie it was finding the hairiest bear in the room and letting that bear use his rectum as if he were goatse man
