What is Matt Morris?

A mystery player from the Cardinals was quoted saying this...

And it didn't take long for the conspiracy theorists to come out. One unnamed Cardinals team member was quoted in the St. Louis-Post Dispatch on the one-sided acquisition of Garciaparra from the Boston Red Sox: "How does that happen? It seems like someone's always looking out for the Cubs. I don't get it." That must explain all those Cubs World Series championship banners flying above Wrigley Field.


I would bet money Matt Morris said that. After all he was the guy saying he would throw games against the Astro's just to keep the Cubs out of the playoffs last year. And was whining at the same time at how our schedule was easier down the stretch than the Cardinals and not calling that fair. Never mind the fact we already went through our toughest part of the schedule the previous month while the Cardinals were in their cream puff stretch.
