I�ve noticed that some bloggers seem to think that Sullivan has an agenda against Carlos Zambrano, too. That, I�ve never seen any evidence of. Carlos does and says some crazy shit sometimes, and all of the writers write about it. This is a guy who was so afraid of an MRI machine that he went missing for five hours one day and the Cubs didn�t know where he was. But I�ll bet if you ask Carlos if he thinks Sullivan is out to get him, he wouldn�t think so.

Sorry, Andy. This has happened on multiple times.

Plus, he’s a beat writer. He’s there to give us the daily happenings of the team. He went out of his way to personally lambast Bradley on a daily basis.

Does Bradley deserve the crap he gets? Sure as hell does. The fans have every right to boo his ass. However, as a professional journalist to go out of your way to make one person’s life miserable? That’s old Boston sportswriter shit. That’s the shit that people would do to Jim Rice on a daily basis.

Jerome Holtzman wouldn’t do that shit. Hell, Ken Holtzman wouldn’t. The opinion guys can rip on them, but as a reporter of the team…to go out of your way to rip a guy was so ridiculous.

Reading his columns became unbearable. I lost all respect for the guy.

Once again, I hate Milton Bradley. Hate him. But Sullivan’s dealing with the situation was just as childish.

Paul Sullivan tricked me into attending law school. I wanted to play second base for the White Sox.

@oog - You think the carpet-pissers did this?

Well, I disagree about Jacob inhabiting Sayid. I think that’s a feint on the part of the writers. We really need explication for who the other apparitions are (vis a vis Jacob and MiB) before we can be sure who’s inhabiting whom etc.

Tangentially related (or perhaps central to the VERY MYSTERY) is Jacob’s role as the blond guy who shoves The Dude’s face in his toilet and demands to know “Where’s the money Lebowski? Where’s the fucking money shithead?!” Maybe Claire kidnapped herself; you said so yourself, Dude.

They knew it, not because of what Sullivan said, or what Hendry said, but because he was the only one left, by the time he was acquired. In the meantime, there was a lot of speculation about all the free-agent outfielders, and Byrd received a lot less public speculation than the rest.

@Gina Strobl - Yes, Hendry does an outstanding job of not letting anyone know who he's going to spend the offseason over-pursuing and, eventually, over-paying. I mean, who knew we were gonna end up with Marlon Byrd? I mean, besides every single non-retard who follows the Cubs?

Acknowledging the hypocrisy of bloggers personally attacking Sullivan for personally attacking Bradley makes sense. But might you acknowledge your own hypocrisy when you say that it’s not all right to call Sullivan an “asshole” but it is okay for you to call Bradley a “sociopathic fuckstick”?

I don’t get all the Sully hate either. I mean it may not be the best example of journalism, but let’s face it – if we wanted the best of everything, we wouldn’t be CUBS fans.
