Along with monumentally collapsing tragically at the end of the year and Sammy Sosa's ghettoblaster getting busted and him leaving before the start of his last game as a Cub, other end of season carnage included Stone and Caray getting forced out because of issues with Cubs brass. IIRC Dusty and/or some others were really sensy about Stoney's criticism of the team and there were some issues throughout the year like them not being able to ride on the same plane with the team and stupid shit like that. It's a shame too because Stoney is the best broadcaster in the business as far as I'm concerned. I can deal with him and Farmer on the Score on occasion but I couldn't abide him with Hawk. Not that I think Stone probably has issues with it since he's a pro and he did share a booth with a senile Harry Caray for years. Of course, the only difference being Harry was a broadcasting legend rather than just some generally obscure blowhole no one gives a fuck about so if Stoney punches him in the mouth more power to him. And interesting story about Brenly. I don't really have huge issues with his call of the game other than he's not Stone and as such it took me quite a while to get used to him, but I do know Stone is good for autographs too. Thank you for the info. Makes sense. That's too bad though because I agree with you, Stone is outstanding. The last straw was when Kent Mercker went after him in the booth. Nothing against Len and Bob, they have grown on me, but its a shame we lost Steve Stone because of Kent fucking Mercker.

Well Fatcesca isn't on trying to deflect attention away from the pitching challenged Yankees. Angry Puppy tends to piledog the Mets then. I expected the usual Billy Wagner ripjob but even there he turned it into some weird sort of compliment.

He was right. Once again the Mets travelled down the pike and layed the smack down on the Phillies. Yawn. It was awfully nice of the Mets allowing the Phillies to score some runs and salvage what little dignity they had left.

The Cubs received the right-handed Rich Harden and righty Chad Gaudin for pitcher Sean Gallagher, outfielders Matt Murton and Eric Patterson, and minor leaguer Josh Donaldson.

Please tell me he's not another ass-hole - oh I mean Prior. I'm happy that Murton will get a chance somewhere else. I got Steve Stone's autograph at a a Peoria minor league game last year. (he was filling in for Ron Santo). Anyway, I told him I wished he was still announcing for the Cubs and he said me too. The guy knows more about baseball than anyone else, I swear. I miss him. They treated him like shit. God forbid that you say someone sucks when they do in fact suck.

No, but I think they'll make it with CC, Sheets, and Parra in their rotation. As of now, Cubs and Brewers are the two best teams in the NL. Mets and Phillies better upgrade before the trading deadline or else either team can forget about making a deep run in October.

Here are the number of starts Rich Harden has made the last few years: 2007: 4 2006: 9 2005: 19 2004: 31 2003: 13 yw

But they keep repeating he's started 11 games in a row! Oh my! I sure hope he's not a headcase and a jerk in the clubhouse. I'd also like to express my thanks to CRA for being a decent Sox fan (and it hurts to say that as I despise Sox fans). Yiu couldn't pay me to listen to Hawk. My brother-in-law always bitches about Ron Santo but I love him. Who cares if he's a homer? I like that he's emotionally invested. I don't listen to him for relevant information. Actually, I don't really listen to him much at all, but I love him from my first years as a Cubs fan. Banks, Williams, Kessinger, Beckert, Santo, Jenkins... Yes, I'm old and still waiting and hoping.

Mets and Phillies better upgrade before the trading deadline or else either team can forget about making a deep run in October. Time will tell! The Brewers generally nosedive in a major way the second half of the season. I've learned over these last 26 years (since their first, last and only playoff appearance) not to get overly excited about these guys! I'm still trying to figure out why everyone thinks that suddenly the Brewers are going to be the greatest team on the planet just because they picked up last season's Cy Young winner. They still have Gagne and Mota in the pen. And Sheets is well...Sheets and he has yet to get that injury (hang nail, blister, split end whatever...) that will no doubt land him on the DL for 2 months! I hope I'm wrong and I hope they make a run and end up in the playoffs at the very least. I hope the game I am going to at Wrigley in September will mean something but I'm leary!
