soxfaninbeverly Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 ...and so there we were, sitting in on a conference call with the Florida Marlins PR staff and reporters from everywhere. They were to announce the trading of Ryan Dempster to the Reds, among other minor deals that day. Then they started taking roll. "---- here." "---- here." And I blurt out, "Ugly Here!" And that was only the beginning.... I must say one last thing about the ESPN board. That press conference was one of the funniest things I had ever heard.. Reporters asking legit questions of the mechanics of the trade above shouts of "Sosa beats his wife" and "Maggs for MVP!!" I can't believe I forgot all about that..how did we get that phone number? I remember it was on an ESPN page, but I can't believe they made it public. ahh, good times, good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfaninbeverly Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 and don't forget "KW sucks!" that's right....how many times did the Marlins PR people tell us to get off the line, about a dozen, and to "quit putting the press conference on hold" to stop the elevator music from getting on the line?

In midsentence no less. It sucked that the best quote/question came from BeerHere, a freakin Cubs fan: "....So Jeff, do you feel you were hosed even more with this trade then the one with the Cubs? (Clement and Alfonseca for Tavarez). After I found out it was him, I was like "Dammit! Why couldn't it have been one of us!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
