Steve, why didn't you call the Score with your breaking news?

Yeah, after I posted it. I'm sure you would have loved it had I been wrong about it. Must have been disappointed when it was true huh?

Are you seriously this dense?

There are posts even on this site from three four days ago about it. It was reported on every radio station.

I never considered you were wrong, because it was common knowledge on monday. Why do you think STB kept saying how do you get this "inside information" and "sleeper pick"?


Obviously it wasn't a sleeper pick as he was interviewed at the very beginning of the process. Had you posted something indicating it was already known to be true when my post was made, it might seem credible. But to do so now only seems like you are desperately trying to take credit away from that post. That's okay, I understand....

No, you are so dense, you didn't even understand you were being mocked and here we are a day later and you're still denying it.


Dont worry, only like 6 different SCORE people tweeted and reported it before you posted it here.

He's the only Score host I care much for. I much prefer the group at ESPN to the Score, with the exception being Mac.

Yeah, okay.....wait until AFTER I am proven correct and then say everyone else knew it already, but don't say it until after. :roll: You have no credibility. That's okay it's nothing I wouldn't have expected.

Again, still not getting thru your Frankenstein like skull.

The only reason STB even responded to you, was you were stating the obvious. Saying, its a sleeper pick and where did you get this information was essentially saying "yeah, everyone already knows that genius"

But, Im not at all surprised that even when told directly and given evidence of your embarrassment, you still deny it.

It actually fits. :lol:

Just saying I said so here before the story was reported. Drinky said it before me here, but everyone scoffed at his report. I backed him up and stated that I knew it was in fact accurate. So for me to say that I said it first would not be accurate. Whether Drinky was guessing or had personal knowledge I can't say.

Yeah, but you were just guessing right? You don't have any actual sources.

You would lose that bet. It was the same guy that gave me the information I posted here about the Blackhawks getting the Winter Game at Wrigley Field, which I posted here before it was reported. Danny Mac even said that he learned of it first from me(the Winter Classic). I just happened to see the guy this past Sunday and was told what was going on.

B&B were strongly implying that the Girardi pursuit and expectations were coming from above Theo's office and that Theo never had a realistic expectation that he would leave New York.

I'm going to have to go back and read some older articles, but that's a narrative I don't quite remember hearing about.

You know, after reading ES's posts, I've come to the conclusion that he is the one leaving messages on Terry Boers' answering machine.

B&b NEVER once suggested such a thing. They repeatedly stated that the Cubs were "all in" on Girardi. I really don't need li'l danny to read Wittenmyer's columns to me.

C'mon JORR, Bernstein's track record on "insider" Cubs info is horrible. Sure, the Cubs reached out to Girardi. No one doubts that. But I've learned the truth with the Cubs is the exact opposite of Bernstein's "insider" info. He's worse than Kaplan. At least Kaplan is right 25% of the time.

So fucking what?

For weeks and weeks Dan couldn't take slow enough or patronize enough about how it was all about Girardi. It's not imaginary radio if it actually happened over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over .........

Anybody with critical thinking skills could see the Girardi thing wasn't going to happen. I remember most of the board laughing about the possibility that Girardi would leave the GLORIOUS New York Yankees to manager the north side shitshow. The Cubs would have jumped at Girardi if he was interested and they wouldn't have even picked up the phone to call Edgar Renteria

I'm starting to see some disturbing trends in Theo's leadership. This particular trend is to let the public know through backchannels that when an action goes poorly he was forced to make the move from ownership. He did the same thing with his horrible FA signing at the end of his run in Boston.

Hey everyone bashed the Lackey signing, but he was a major reason why they won the World Series this year. I remember reading he never wanted Carl Crawford but upper management wanted a splash.
