May 25, 200619 yr http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Methinks this "hiatus" will end up being permanent. It's a same, another victim of the Cubbie Blue media hype machine, honesty doesn't pay after all. Steve Stone feels your pain Mr. Sullivan.
May 25, 200619 yr I doubt that. Why would he write about it, and mention returning in "a few weeks", if he were really being s***canned?

Interesting timing for him to all of a sudden be on a hiatus. If it means he's just not answering questions for a few weeks and is still doing the beat in general, then ok, but you don't just go on "hiatus" a week after it comes out that you got your ass ripped to shreds by the high powers in the Ivory Tower for being too negative. We'll see though.
May 25, 200619 yr Could be. I would think a writer would just zip up and refuse to say anything about it, instead of participating in his own demise, but that's just a guess. I hope the celebrity is Lee Elia...
May 25, 200619 yr what happened to Morrisey? He hasn't written anything in awhile - zip on the sox/cubs series.
May 25, 200619 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) Hmm, who takes his place on the beat? I know, I know, Bruce Levine! Nah, Levine would just give them bad trade rumors. They're gonna get someone who gives them the angle they're looking for in a column, and they're looking for a rah rah kind of guy. Or should I say a woo woo kind of guy? Eh? I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

And is Sullivan on hiatus from the Cubs beat, or just from those stupid Q&A things? Edited May 25, 200619 yr by Dick Allen
