Its interesting in light of the game blowing up when Farnsworth came intothe game. On John WIlliams show on WGN before the game, Johns producer told how he went to a local hot spot, Senor Frogs, after Tuesday nights game. He stayed there until closing (which was around 3:30 AM) and walking out of the place with him was none other than our man Kyle. Thinking that its ok, hes young and the next days game was at night, so Kyle would have time to sleep, he thought nothing of it. Later Wednesday, John Williams decided to the beach and rented a wave runner. This was late morning/early afternoon. THe person getting off the wave runner that John Williams was about to use? WHy it was our man Kyle again. Not only staying up late to party, but getting up early (or maybe he didn't go to sleep yet) to play in the water. You would think that Dusty giving the players Monday off to frolic would be enough with this team in a pennent race, but I guess the lure of fun is just too much for Farnsworth. After hearing this story, I was really hoping that he would not be called on to pitch in Wednesdays game, but he was and 1 inning and 4 runs later, the game was lost >> Stay informed about: Farnsworth before the game

Perhaps you don't know Farnsworth's history but this is common practice for him. Last year before the Cub/Sox game on a Friday afternoon at Comisky, Farnsworth spent the night at a party and was still there after 9 A.M. My coworker was at the party a stripper friend of his threw and left the party and went out to the bars. He returned around 4 A.M. and saw Farnsworth. When my buddy was about to leave a little after 9 A.M., he noticed Farnworth was still there and said to him. "Don't you have a game today?" Farnsworth said he would be leaving soon. He obviously must have went straight to the park because it was a 1 O'clock game. He ended up giving up a homer to Konerko in that game. When I tried to call the Score and mention it, the female intern mentioned she works at a bar and he is out all of the time at them. Perhaps that explains his inability to utilize his natural abilities. He's never getting any sleep. Darrell The most loved guy on the net >> Stay informed about: Farnsworth before the game

What I want to know is whether or not the stuff that the one poster reported was broadcast on the John Williams radio show was actually broadcast or not. If the producer of John Williams' show and John Williams actually broadcast those statements about Kyle Farnsworth, does repeating it here make it rumormongering? What should a person considered to a verifiable source? Wasn't it last year that Claude reported that a friend of his had witnessed Kyle behaving in a certain manner? If Claude had seen it himself and reported it here, would he have been considered a verifiable source or would his honesty or accuracy questioned?

If nobody posts anything about whether the Farnsworth stories were actually broadcast, I will forward a copy of the original post to John Williams and his producer so that they can tell me what happened. I'll ask them if I can share their responses with the newsgroup and I will post those responses here if I can. Frank >> Stay informed about: Farnsworth before the game

I asked them to confirm or deny the information in the message and I asked their permission to share their response with the group. It could be a few days before I get a response, if any at all, as I don't know John and Matt's email load, how often they access it or how often they reply to questions from emailers.
