Stone-Pony

Anyone catch Steve Stone's act on ESPN1000 the other day?  The guy really has a great baseball mind, but his constant pot shots at the Cubs is just getting old and hurting his credibility in this town.  When asked about the Sox pursuit of Abreu, Stone went on a long winded critique of the Cubs signing of Bradely even though a much superior player in Abreu was out there.  Also, he's totally perplexed at the Derosa trade.  This from a guy who was totally perplexed at the money they signed Derosa too a few years ago.  Finally he couldn't understand letting go "one of the best catchers in the game" for Bako.  Maybe because his neck is about to fall off.  All Cub fans appreciate Henry Blanco, but injuries did hurt his defense last year.  Anyhow, still a very good analyst, he just needs to rid himself of the wrongs he thinks the Cubs have done him.
