Chan Ho Park sues Chad Kreuter

You can't make this stuff up. Wrigley favorite Chad Kreuter ( who once ran into the stands after a fan who grabbed his hat causing a mini riot) is being sued by former battery mate Park over an unpaid loan. FYI gossip site TMZ is now starting a spin off devoted entirely to salacious sports stories. I don't think it is exactly going to be MLB trade rumors stuff.

TMZ sports

is going to significantly change the way sports news is reported

think about Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez this year, now there’s going to be a dedicated group trying to get trash on athletes…. yikes

There's plenty of that kind of reporting now.

TMZ is just going to put it all in one place.

not as widely publicized

for example Dwayne Wade had a very similar situation down here in Miami to Tiger Woods and how much national attention did that get?

TMZ will just exaggerate everything and give broader coverage to it than anything going on now

They appear to be going after Deadspin, more than anything else.

TMZ is a much different animal than Deadspin.

True, but...

… Deadspin does many of the same type of stories that TMZ Sports is planning to do.

Yabbut...

…the problem (for athletes) is TMZ actively goes out to created their own stories. This is bad for them because not only will they be much more exposed to the community, but they will inevitably get into physical altercations with the cameramen.

In that case I hope Randy Johnson decides to play another season.

He could take out a few cameraman.

I heard something about that here,

what exactly was it? IIRC, it had something to do with some wild parties including extreme womanizing and lots of cocaine.

its a lot of speculation

but Wade had a business partner who was known for throwing “weed” parties and Wade was connected to some of those parties

in addition Wade’s ex-wife had I believe publicly gone after some of his mistresses. It really was kept under wraps for the most part

Chad's OK in my book...

At Tiger’s spring training years ago I was passing by Kreuter, and he gave me a broken bat. I was at the age when anything from a baseball player was treasure… not just a splintered piece of wood.
