11/30/2005: "Bernie Breaks Radio Silence"


I get the feeling that this offseason has been tough for the most accessible of the Post-Dispatch columnists; Jocketty's been about as forthcoming with information as the North Korean government, and what's a St. Louis sports columnist going to do with stories of Kim Jong Il making mountains crumble by staring at them? About twenty minutes ago on his forum he managed this cryptic remark:

{{customtwo}}Post subject: Checking out STL/Burnett rumors...
They're flying...nothing confirmed yet.
I'll keep checking.
--B


Okaaay then. Perhaps the Abreu stuff was smokescreen after all. In any case, I hope somebody's been recycling their bottles and cans; Burnett's not going to come cheap. Mortgage new Busch!

And then, just as I was about to press submit and call it a day:

{{customtwo}}Post subject: Burnett to Cardinals: Not true
I reached a high-ranking Cardinals official about the rumor of the day...
Have the Cardinals signed A.J. Burnett?
No. Absolutely not. That was the answer.
But they are keeping the dialogue open with his agent.
--B
Well, then. Now, as J.P. Ricciardi proved by "not signing" B.J. Ryan, denial is often the best confirmation. Not that I hope the Cardinals are following their lead on, say, terms of the contract. In any case, I have a feeling that at this point Bernie Mik has a guy who knows a guy who installs spy cameras on the phone.

Maybe we should ask Bernie if the Card official coughed twice or just once when he was on the phone with him

i really can't believe nobody has thrown out Manny's name in all of the hub-bub...it's only slightly less plausable than Abreu
