June 5, 200322 yr Rex, you live in the area, if you haven't heard it, then it's not true. Score is full of it more often than not.
June 5, 200322 yr Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone give me some background on Wally Beckman! Rex could comment more than me since he sees a lot of game. Backman is a guy with a lot of fire, and plays little ball well. I've heard a lot of crazy stories..
June 5, 200322 yr Rex could comment more than me since he sees a lot of game. Backman is a guy with a lot of fire, and plays little ball well. I've heard a lot of crazy stories.. He's also currently manager of the Birmingham Barons, the Sox's AA affiliate and defending Southern League champions.
June 5, 200322 yr Author That's why I asked if anyone up there had heard it. I spoke with a buddy in the Barons office who had talked to Wally and it was news to him, so it is likely a bunch a crap or they a hedging their bet on the Sox losing the next few games. I didn't hear it on the Score, but I was told it was reported. I was also told not too long ago that Wally was planning on being in Jackson TN and no one had said anything to him about going to Chicago.

It's possible since Jerry lives in the area that he decided to can him. Reinsdorf likes to keep things very quiet, so it wouldn't shock me if they hadn't told Backman yet. I'd love to see it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Sounds like typical sports radio crap to me.

Ugh, way to make me look bad Rex. LOL Sorry I was just trying to figure out if anyone in Chicago other than the person who told the person that told me, had heard it. If the Sox continue to lose, I don't think it is far-fetched. I just still question the KW-Backman combination.
June 5, 200322 yr Unless the Sox promote Backman soon....... Im afraid that we're gonna lose him to another organization.
June 6, 200322 yr havent heard of such a thing.. of course then again i dont listen to the score cause they are full of s*** all the time....... they are not a very reliable resource when tryin to find out something im afraid.....and mike north is the most over paid piece of reporting s*** in this town next to marriotti...............but north spewes more speculation than facts and mariotti at least tries to get a few facts in his column from time to time.......... ...backman will be up in due time.... but i keep tellin you guys and you dont listen.. jm is a jr guy and is not going anywhere till at least if at all the end of the season........
