CSF Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I'm not about to go on another "I hate Jay Mariotti" rant, but this time is proving with each day he is a Cubs apologist, through and through. I only listened to about a half hour because it was all I could stomach. Anyway, he spent the majority of that time talking about how Maddux needed to come to the Cubs based on what he could do for their rotation. That didn't bug me to much since he's been spewing that crap in his columns anyway. However, one quote he said kind of ticked me off: He said that Kenny Lofton was no "prize" in the clubhouse, especially if you asked Sammy. You've gotta be kidding me! Someone challenges the mighty Sosa in the clubhouse, and Mariotti has the gall to slam him? This guy has got to be the biggest member of the Sammy Sosa Ass-Licking society if there ever was one. Oh, and in his ususal Sox diss, he mentioned that since Evans was available again, they should go after him for the GM job. This guy doesn't quit.

southsider2k5 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Why waste your time listening to this clown. You could be doing much more exciting things like scraping gum from under tables at McDonalds, or watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Everyone continuously complains about Mariotti yet threads still pop up about him all the time...You're just giving the guy more fuel to add to his fire...If you hate him so much, quit listening to him.

You could be doing much more exciting things like scraping gum from under tables at McDonalds, or watching paint dry. I tried to be impartial towards the clown. Probably more than anything else, I just wanted to re-affirm that he is a world class jackass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. There is a reason I haven't paid for a ST in years. And won't. And I have seen Around the Horn all of once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said I turned away after 30 minutes. I was tired of hearing Murph and Fred talk Cubs baseball on the Score. Excuse me, but those are the only 2 sports stations in Chicago.

Ozzietheairedale Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 ChiSoxFan, You're anger is directed at the wrong person. I can't figure out how you could be mad at Mariotti on this one. He's right about Maddux- he should take the Cubs job because he IS likely to make them the best team in the National League. If he wants to win a pennant, he SHOULD go to the Cubs. Also, Lofton has long been know to be a problem in the clubhouse, and he can't carry Sosa's jock. I hate Sammy as much as any Sox fan, but let's face it - he's likely to lead his team to a pennant this year and if Lofton even so much as looks at him funny he should be out on his ass (which he is). Mariotti is a 100% right on when it comes to his views of the Cubs and Sox. Our anger should be at Sox management and players , not Mariotti.

Steff Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Lofton... Kenny Lofton a problem in the clubhouse..? Never heard that one before. If Maddux wants to win a ring.. he should head over to the East coast. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If Maddux wants to win a ring.. he should head over to the East coast. <_> Agreed, if your sole goal is to win a World Series championship then what is a better situation then the traveling all star team known as the New York Yankees.

I hate Sammy as much as any Sox fan, but let's face it - he's likely to lead his team to a pennant this year and if Lofton even so much as looks at him funny he should be out on his ass (which he is). That confrontation with Sosa happened after Game 6 (could've been Game 7) when, instead of trying to move runners into scoring position with 1 out, Sosa was swinging for the fences and ultimately struck out (what else is new). Lofton calls him on that, and he's the bad guy? Plus, I heard how he was somewhat of a problem in Atlanta, but he was only there for a year. Every other place he's been at (Cleveland, Sox, SF, & Pitt), there have been no problems. I guess Sammy is the alpha male there and anyone questioning his authority's gotta go.

I had never heard anything bad about him in Atlanta, and just good things from Cleveland, here, and SF. I don't fault him for the incident with Sosa at all.
