June 20, 200520 yr I was driving home from the game last night and some genius calls in and suggests we trade Scott Podsednik for Corey Patterson. His reasoning was that Patterson can do it all and has more power than Podsednik. Yeah, we're going to trade the best leadoff guy in baseball for one of the worst.
June 20, 200520 yr Sounds like a Cubs fan who gave up on Corey Patterson. It also sounds like some of virtual GMs I keep running across lately on this site.....
June 20, 200520 yr Didn't the Score just get the Sox radio deal? You think they'd have to have at least a little sanity to get that. Unless the guy's arguing that Ozzie can turn Cory Patterson into Scott Podsednik when no one else has been able to, this man deserves to have a chair broken over his head for sheer incompetence. I'm sure all Ozzie wants is another swing and miss guy who can't advance runners and swings for the fences every at bat.

June 20, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Can I ask who this was? The host of the show... It was a caller, and everyone started calling in after he called. The host (I think Holmes) said he realizes that it was the dumbest trade proposal in the history of the Score and that the callers didn't have to call in to tell him. The guy that proposed it had to be a Cubs fan, but he sounded dead serious. His only comments were that no matter what Willie Harris does he still hates him and that they should trade Podsednik for Patterson. I almost crashed when I heard it.
June 20, 200520 yr it was a caller who suggested the trade. the host, Laurence Holmes, said that it was the worst trade proposal in the history of The Score and proceeded to shut down the phone lines.
June 20, 200520 yr Either a fool-hardy Cub fan or an ignorant Sox fan or something in between. What did the White Sox avoid like the plague in this year's draft? Players represented by BorASS. What is C Patterson? A client of BorASS whom is destined to find a dumbarse owner who buys into BorASSes s*** & overpays for him. No thank you. We have Crede to deal with in the BorASS stable. We don't need another.
June 20, 200520 yr I would officaly not be a sox fan anymore if that trade happend. Edited June 20, 200520 yr by sayitaintso

I don't even see Boras being able to get Crede a ridiculous contract.
June 20, 200520 yr Cub fans always have to get in on the attention, don't they? There's always a Cub angle in anything baseball related in their eyes.
June 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Timo for Patterson? That sounds more reasonable. I could live with that one .

There's always a Cub angle in anything baseball related in their eyes. I was listening to the post game show on the score last night and someone called in and was complaing about the ESPN announcers and that they kept talking about the cubs and comparing us to the cubs. I don't know if the announcers were doing it becuase i was at the game. Did this actually happen?
