James Kannengeiser at Amazin’ Avenue, obviously as giddy as I am about the Georgetown hoops game that starts at 4 p.m. today, posted a pretty amazing rundown of things he heard from his anonymous sources.
My favorites:
– My anonymous sources are familiar with the thinking of people who have knowledge of a league official’s inside man.
– My anonymous sources are trying to find the words to describe Bengie Molina without being too disrespectful.
He included a few from my Twitter feed, which I appreciate, though I should note that I completely stole the idea to tweet about anonymous sources from James’ Twitter feed.
Anyway, here’s some more undeniable insight from the MLB Hot Stove, courtesy of my giant network of baseball insiders:
– According to a person familiar with the Cubs’ thinking, it doesn’t happen very often.
– An MLB insider close to Brian Sabean says he has terrible B.O.
– A well-placed source with connections to the Mets organization says, “I’m Keith Hernandez.”
– According to a Yankees insider, Brian Cashman has suggested to ownership that the team trade Derek Jeter, and even maintained a straight face for about 10 seconds before cracking up.
– According to a Japanese baseball expert, Hideki Matsui 大人のビデオの印象的なコレクションを持っている。
– An anonymous MLB source tells me he was just speculating, and that it was really irresponsible of me to spin that into an entire column.
Yes he does Ted, but hasn’t Matsui heard of the internet? Who buys video tapes anymore?
