I'd always been a backer of Stone's, but it's really getting fucking ridiculous. His Twitter account is 90% ripping on Bradley and Hendry.

Fuld? They share some similar abilities but Ellsbury is much better at most all of them and younger.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->There was a rumor circulating Saturday that the Tigers were interested in Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley. Problem is, the person who posted the rumor didn't ask anyone from the Cubs. That didn't seem to stop others from taking that rumor and saying it was true.

It's not true, Cubs officials say, and, fact is, the GMs of the two teams have not talked at all about Bradley or anyone else in recent days.

Bradley, who hit his first career pinch-hit homer in the eighth of the Cubs' 5-3 win over the Reds, was asked about the speculation postgame.

"I don't pay attention to rumors," he said. "I'm one of those guys who is multi-talented and can do a lot of things, so I'm not surprised. It's just a rumor."

I used to love Steve Stone when I was a kid. Sucks that he's turned in to such a moron.

In regards to his comments about Marquis:

Hindsight is 20/20. No one would've predicted Marquis being so successful this year. It's easy to say it was a bad trade looking back now; but at the time, it was hard to criticize dumping Marquis from the team. But of course Steve is deeply embedded in the south side now, so he gets paid to talk trash about the Cubs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asshole.gif[/img]

Yep... I wanted to keep Marquis because of Harden, basically just for depth and to eat innings. I always said Marquis doesn't deserve all the crap he gets, he's not that bad. He's not nearly as good as his numbers show this year though either, and as I keep pointing out, he's almost always been incredibly worse in the 2nd half. I expect his ERA to be over 4 soon.

And with Marquis, we wouldnt have gotten to see as much of Randy Wells either, who has maybe even been better. He could easily have 10 wins.

The Casey McGehee crap is really ridiculous. He's been a career blah minor leaguer and never really impressed in Spring Training or his time with the Cubs last year.

Wow Clapp, that shit you posted from Stone is both damning and embarrassing. Stone should be fucking ashamed of himself. I'd love to ask Hendry what he thinks of him. By the way. What the FUCK does this even mean?

Is it Stone's brilliant fucking observation that Fuld's mastery of the Arizona league clearly made him a superior prospect? First of all, Hendry wasn't alone in regarding Pie over Fuld. One hundred out of one hundred scouts would have agreed. More importantly, guess who the MVP of the 2002 AFL was? A seventeen year old Felix Pie.

Fuck Steve Stone.

Trading Bradley doesn't make this team better and I can't imagine him pulling in enough in the way of prospects to make it worth our while...considering as we sit 1/2 game out and Halladay hasn't jumped to a NL contender yet, we can't punt on this year.

Joe Sheehan was on the radio the other day and said that Holliday gives the Cards 1.5 to 2 wins over where they were. He also said that the move does change the complexion of the NL Central - he said that it takes it from a 4 team race to a Cards/Cubs race. That last bit was off topic, but I won't be around much.

[veryzer]

i can't back stone up anymore. he's dead to me. just a bitter spiteful piece of shit. i'm sure he loves working with harrelson now.

[Ace]

Yikes; that McGehee stuff is pretty bad. Nobody in the universe thought he could be a bench player on a contender.

[funkster]

The only thing Steve Stone cares about is money. He's a turd. His heart lies with whomever pays him the most. Just out of curiosity, when was the last time anyone heard him say anything bad about the White Sox despite the fact that they have played no better than the Cubs most of the season? He's a greedy twat. Sad too cause I used to love him.

And for the record, as a frequent listener of the Score, I never heard him criticize the signing of Bradley other than warning he could be a health risk. Funny how he paints himself to be some sort of Oracle after the fact.

[rok]

Didn't Stone rip the Marquis signing when it was made and during the entire time he was here? Hindsight, Stone, it's a bitch. And fuck him. I hope he's happy tarnishing his reputation forever on the South Side. If he becomes even half the laughing stock that Harrelson has become, he'll still be the 2nd biggest douche in Chicago broadcast history. Nicely done. Quite an accomplishment.

[Coldneck]

I was the biggest Steve Stone fan in the world when he was with the Cubbies broadcast team. I still defended him and gave him the benefit of the doubt when he joined the Sox. But after reading this thread I have joined the Steve Stone is an unbearable spiteful douche camp. Stone has no credibility left at this point. The McGehee quotes are ignorant and not based on reality.
