Bourne? ESPN ...

[mediaguy]

Headline on Braves-Astros deal, half-hour after story posted, says "Braves trade for CF Michael Bourne." Bad, because name is wrong on one of the bigger names in the trade deadline. I guess the Sunday morning shift isn't the prized one ...

 

[Pencil Dick]

Sounds like there's an issue with Bourne's Identity.

(Sorry)

 

[SF_Express]

One of the country's best baseball writers, I guy I like and really respect, had it Bourne in multiple places this morning, too.

 

[Liut]

I gotta give Bob Bourne some love. Sorry, Kansas City Scouts flashback, even though he never played for them.

 

[steveu]

Now that he's in Atlanta, Bourne has supremacy.

(Double sorry)

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I wonder,when Atlanta made their offer, if they gave Houston a Bourne Ultimatum.

(Triple Sorry)

All the ****in' good puns are taken.

All the ****in' good puns are taken.

hm, I don't think that's bourne out by this thread.

 

[DisembodiedOwlHead]

Trade should have happened 27 days earlier...making it Bourn on the 4th of July

 

[Steak Snabler]

If he somehow vaults the Braves to the top of the NL East, I can almost guarantee a two-page SI spread entitled "Bourn to be Wild."

 

[HanSenSE]

If he somehow vaults the Braves to the top of the NL East, I can almost guarantee a two-page SI spread entitled "Bourn to be Wild."

If it isn't "Tragedy strikes Phillies."

If he somehow vaults the Braves to the top of the NL East, I can almost guarantee a two-page SI spread entitled "Bourn to be Wild."

Or perhaps A Star is Bourn.

 

[steveu]

Bourn Free... but he'll cost a bundle later on...

 

[Versatile]

"Bourn To Run" - feature on his speed.

But really, if the Braves overtake the Phillies, the headline will be "The Legion Is Doomed" ... because Gary Smith is the official Phillies beat writer for SI this year, and the story will be entirely about how Late Riser's injury distracted Tunnelman and Loose Laser and had Kid Quantum trying to do adult things or something.

 

[nck228]

But for such a young talent, the guy's not stupid. After all, he wasn't Bourn yesterday.

 

[Mystery Meat II]

Every time he gets on a plane, he's Air Bourn
