Not even sure who the guy is, I guess he is at COMCAST, Hub must love this guy, he also giggles at his own statements!

Brett Ballantini, you mean? He used to run the Cubune, I think. Like, the actual blog that kept track of Cubs bias in the Trib. haha. Good for him advancing his career past Sox fan buttsoreness, if we're talking about the same person.

There is some belief that Ballantini is behind the "Not Hawk" Twitter account.

He is pretty damn good IMO. One of the only media members who took the suggestion of calling up Viciedo earlier seriously. Lots of media members are trying to cast the Sox fans who were calling for him as "dumb" because they expected him to be a "savior". Not true.

There's miles of territory between Adm Dunn and a savior. I think most fans would have been happy to get last year's numbers from the DH slot.
