I don't know anything about him - will defer to the local guys for that.

I think you do...

That said, the Amazon Kindle store has alerted me to an interesting related fact that isn't made clear in their regular store: "When Theo Met Tom: A Cubs Story" co-author Mark Gonzales also apparently ghost wrote "Said in Stone: Your Game, My Way."

Indeed, while this fact is not really spelled out on that book's cover, spine or copyright page either, Stoney himself had this much to say:

It was my idea, and then I worked with Mark Gonzales, who did a nice job of arranging my thoughts and doing a lot of research.  Mark was invaluable being a writer.  I don't spell very well, and he does a great job of it.  He really did a lot in putting this together, but they are all my words and we didn't do it in the interview format.  I would write a lot of it on yellow legal pads and then I would use a tape recorder.  Next, I would go through the sections by myself and then Mark would get all of the words arrange them and put into writer's speak.

Steve Stone: the thinking man's baseball talking person.

I missed the memo on Sullivan's departure and haven't seen him around lately. What has happened?

If this means Phil Rogers is leaving, we're all winners. Or did Phil leave a long time ago?

He left reality long ago, but has managed to hang on at the Trib.

Luckily, we have Darwin Barney's interview with Sully to clear everything up.

DB: Are you still at the Sun-Times after this? What's the title of your new job?
PS: I'm at the Tribune. My title is Chicago baseball writer.

Ah well.  We'll always have that time that Sullivan inadvertently started a blog slap fight between HJE and ACB.

For the record, I think Johnny Manziel is a complete douche, but I also don't understand why he can't sell his own autograph for money.

But let me also suggest that acts such as hers not only objectify women but debase them. They encourage a teenage culture that has set the women’s movement back on its heels. What is being celebrated is not sexuality but sexual exploitation, a mean casualness that deprives intimacy of all intimacy. Cyrus taught me a word. Now let me teach her one: She’s a twerk.

Aw snap! Miley, you just got COHEN'D!

Bprt is still asshurt that Cohen is the only one with the balls to point out how muddled the script for "Chinatown" was.

This seems like a good use of the Trib's editorial real estate:

This seems like something that people here would be interested in.
