Do you think Peter Gammons has an axe to grind against the Cubs?

[Lex L.]

He called Wrigley a dump (even though its still better than Fenway).

He thought the Cubs were going to throw in their best prospect for Theo, like it was no big deal.

He's always designating our players as someone the Yankees or Red Sox can have (presumably for little/nothing).

I just heard him say that the Cubs aren't a player for Fielder because of money and that this isnt the year the Cubs are ready to spend money. We all know there wont be a bat like this on the market for a while.

He really seems to want the Cubs to suck and is resentful for something.

What other things has he said?

Do I have Peter Gammons all wrong?

 

[Captain Obvious]

Peter Gammons is a ****.

 

[Gunzaan]

Peter Gammon is a born Red Sox knob-slobber, so of course he has an axe-to-grind with the Cubs, who stole his favorite GM, the same GM who allowed him to worship the Red Sox in the national spotlight for the past 8+ years.

1. Wrigley is a dump.

2. Gammons called Fenway a dump repeatedly before it was renovated and fixed up(It was). I believe he even referenced this fact in the article calling out Wrigley.

3. Fenway at this point>>>Wrigley. Fenway post renovations by all accounts is very nice. Wrigely is behind.

He thought the Cubs were going to throw in their best prospect for Theo, like it was no big deal.

A lot of people thought that.

He's always designating our players as someone the Yankees or Red Sox can have (presumably for little/nothing).

Such as whom?

I just heard him say that the Cubs aren't a player for Fielder because of money

Does this suprise anyone? People here have said they weren't sure the Cubs would spend a shit load for Fielder. People reading the Theo tealeaves have said the same thing.

For the record. I love Wrigley Field. It's in my top 3 places to watch a game at. The neighborhood scene is great. It's a classic park. It just need a major face lift and overhaul in some areas. Even Rickett's knows and admits to that. Maybe he wouldn't come out and straight call it a "dump" but wanting to dump $250 million into Wrigley kind of speaks volumes.

I think there's something with Theo but anything else.. ehh

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

maybe he has some grudges(i see it now with theo, i mean i'd be a little pissed too)

he definitely is a sox fan

or maybe you're reading a little too much into it

 

[waldo7239117]

Gammons doesn't have anything out for the Cubs. That's just what he thinks. As.. he's a moron that knows shit.

 

[Captain Iago]

Did you Cub fans really not expect the catastrophic consequences from stealing away Gammons's band mate?!?!?!!??!

No one brings the mad cowbell like Epstein!

"You infidels have HELL to pay!"

 

[daddies3angels]

I think he treats the Cubs just like they are seen. As the laughing stock of all pro sports

 

[Uman85]

Peter Gammons is a tool. He can go cry in his Sam Adams.

 

[X]

I think Gammons is an A-Level fucktard, but no, I don't think he's anti-cub by any means.

Unfortunately that happens to be the Kansas City Royals... but still, I suppose there is the National League.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Royals are loaded with young talent. Far from a laughing stock.
