cwsfan13 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) A Cub fan and I were talking earlier today and he said, "Buehrle hasn't been the same since he got cheated on by his wife." My friend Rashawn, a Cub fan went, "What?!" and I said, "Uh, I don't think that happened or that, if it did, you'd know about it." Then he told me how much better the Cubs were going to be next year and that Soriano would take them all the way. It was the weirdest conversation. Well what do you expect from a Flub fan. I think he was confusing MB for Sandburg. Next time ask him what Grace thought of Sandburgs wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure theres people on here that have more insight to the matter. I believe this happened in the late 80's and it was rumored that Grace and possibley more of Sandburgs team-mates had a good time with Rynos wife. I was at the first regular season game played at the cell between the Sox and Flubs and there was alot of us Sox fans yelling at Ryno asking him if we could have a piece of his wife too. I do know this; he did get divorced shortly after these rumors surfaced so Im positive theres something to it. Any help on this matter from fellow Sox fans would be greatly and humorusly appreciated, at Ryno's expense of course. Sorry I forgot to answer the question. Yes there was some good reading in the papers about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Dave Martinez was the main guy rumored, but I think there's some rumors that Raffy Palmeiro was banging Mrs. Sandberg, and that's why he got traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yup, did a little search and found some stuff on it in The Cub Reporter. Poor Sandberg. And fathom, you're right: there are plenty of rumors that it was Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsfan13 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Maybe thats why the Sox obtained Martinez a few years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Wasn't there a story about Royce Clayton and Frank Thomas' wife? I wonder how often this kind of thing happens...

Gregory Pratt Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Found out today that Vazquez, from the Cotts trade, served a steroid suspension in 05. Lovely! Also: Jeremy Reed looks more and more like Brian Anderson to me each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm sure he can hit .260. I'm also sure he won't hit for any power and he still won't be able to hit a breaking pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also sure he won't hit for any power and he still won't be able to hit a breaking pitch. Half our team can't hit a breaking pitch. What's the point? As far as the power, I'm sure the last thing he was trying to do when he was bringing his average back up was to swing for the fences. We saw him start to hit doubles though, which was a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Nobody on our team is as bad as BA at hitting breaking pitches. Hell, he has a weird little habit when a curveball comes in where he leans backward and thrusts his crotch over the plate. Sounds like a certain former White Sox centerfielder who's still remembered as an iconic figure despite posting a .736 OPS in his final year with the team. Ooooh, Rowand. I'd take a rookie Ryan Sweeney over either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
