There is not 1 organization in baseball from the DSL to the MLB club that I would trade the Cubs for going forward.

There is not an actor in Hollywood that I would trade Steve Guttenberg for going forward.

You mean Rudy Guttenberg?

Real Steve Guttenberg died 07/08/91
I found this topic on the forums at IMDB. I'm doubting it's true, but has anyone heard this? I found very few other places on the net that even mention the topic.


"How this has been masked for so long I don't know, but Steve Guttenberg died 07/08/91 from complications with a blood clot, I remember back then on ET, for the red carpet premiere for Point Break, Lori Petty talking about how sad this was and she was there with Eric La salle pre ER fame, but then it wasn't mentioned again.

Rudolph "Rudy" Guttenberg, Steve's older brother, took over as Steve Guttenberg in late 1992/1993. He just took the name and has been his since then.

I did even read this on Wikipedia a year back because I didn't believe it even though I remember the interview on ET with Lori Petty, but with re-emergence of his name with Dancing with the Stars season 6, the link explaining this had been dropped, something which Wiki has became famous for.

When Steve Guttenberg died in 1991 his career was still strong and he appealed to an audience, out of no where he goes on a near 2 year hiatus, comes back looking older and doesn't have the timing he once had and all his perfomances seemed lackluster, do to Rudy Guttenberg taking over Steve Guttenberg (comparable to Gallagher selling the rights to his brother the gimmick and act back in late 80's).

Go ahead and think this is crazy but look at the facts I present to you, and that little voice in the back of your head saying this makes sense isn't wrong its intuition and it is always right."


The link to this board is http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000430/board/nest/98341903
but I don't think you'll be able to see it unless you are registered.

The Police Academy movies were the greatest assemblage of young hollywood talent in history.

Is it gay that out of all the times I have seen that picture, I only now noticed he is sitting in a giant baseball glove?

Did you know the last time the Cubs were destined for greatness (2004), they had a pitcher named Jon Lester?

(Ok, it was Jon Leicester, but pronounced Lester.)

Didn't OKC say that he used to work with that chick with the crazy hair?

I am not sure about OKC, but I am sure there is more crazy there than just the hair.

8675309 is a complete tool.


What exactly would make Lester a bust?

Obviously if Lester loses to Cashner today and Rizzo doesn't homer Theo should be fired.

He is below expectations and I didnt have the highest epxpectations, regardless of the money.

He has really been a very average pitcher in his first 2 games. Has looked like a #3 or 4...

I had Valbuena penciled in at 2nd. Herrera seems smooth at 2nd but hits like a pitcher.

Valbuena was not solid defensively at second, and he had one 'decent' offensive season.

Fowler can help win games. CF needed an upgrade.

Jimmy, Edwin Jackson "did the job" to use a pro wrestling term. He was a signing to placate cubs fans into thinking they weren't totally asleep at the wheel, but the brilliant part was that they wanted to sign somebody who could come in and lose 15-20 games/season so they could get babe Bryant at #2 and kyle "babe fucking Ruth" schwarber at #4 or whatever.

Edlose Jackson showed up and earned his 13mil by giving the cubs exactly what they wanted: futility masked in "hey at least we tried" (see the tanaka non-signing finalist status) to convince people that the first few years were a little more than paying theo 4mil/year to cut 25-50mil/year of payroll while collecting high draft picks that would be ready/ish when the golden revenue streams were flowing into the empty/ish cups of timeliness.

Considering the countless millions they're gonna make selling you Bryant swag, edwin truly did the job like the professional loser he is. Tally ho!
