dont be concerned..you wont be the only one

[CubinNY]

Sigh, two hours and change until the inevitable.

 

I for one don't plan to be feeling any pain when it happens. Smoke 'em if you got 'em guys. :lol:

 

Just bought a twelve-pack of blue moon. I don't plan on feeling pain either. :lol:

 

Bell's Amber is smoothing it over for me....

 

Bell's is the bet micorbrew on the planet.

 

In my fridge I've got

 

Dopplebock

Big Two Hearted Ale

Pale Ale

 

I make bi-mothly trips up to Michigan just to get it.

We're 90+ replies to 1,000 in this thread before Aramis signs...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

How long until the window closes???

 

 

*NERVOUS*

 

Midnight EST, I'm guessing.

 

The window doesn't exactly close tonight. It just gets harder, more expensive, and if he's re-signed after tonight it counts against the FA quota.

 

So the Cubs would lose their pick to the Cubs?

 

Heh, no. They would get to sign one fewer Type A free agent because Aramis would count as one.

 

It was joke. If you were grape you would have laughed but your humor is now dry.

 

Quit it with your fruitism.

Yes and to see my parents too. But the beer itself is worth the trip.

 

The have a special christamas/new years brew that is a cream ale and is as smooth as high quality champagne.

Seriously, if Aramis leaves, what can this team do? You could try to trade for Arod, if he is even available. Or Cabrera, but both of those guys are long shots at best. The Cubs would be screwed.

Ah-ha ... but I never said with whom he would sign...

[Yeti]

its funny, i dont really care if the cubs re-sign ARam, cause they're gonna suck one way or the other...i am however quite anxious to see how off the hook everyones reaction is at midnight...its like a train wreck, i just cant look away

[Wheelimus]

I'll say this, if Aramis isn't signed, we need to be told two things by Jim Hendry. What his final offer was, and what the final offer from Aramis was.

 

If he doesn't, or the answer to the questions don't make sense, he should be fired immediately.

[Sammy Sofa]

If Hendry somehow pulled off a miracle and got Cabrera I would actually forget Aramis ever existed in this or any other dimension.

Never had Summit, but I will look for it.

[Soriano12]

Well I though about this. 2 potential teams for Aram have young 3rd baseman with some potential(Angels - Dallas McPherson Dodgers - Wilson Benemit) If they sign Aram, can we approach them about aquiring one of these players?

It cant be any worse than the things I said at the football game tonight. The kids a few rows down from me learned some new words. Especially when this old prick behind me (on the LOWELL side of the field) was cheering loudly for concord. I "nicely" reminded him concord was seated across the field.

Short of Aramis refusing anything under 7 years and/or wanting at least $17 million per, there's really no excuse unless Aramis said he simply doesn't want to come back no matter what the offer.

[Wheelimus]

You're right. The situation we're in, about to concede to the free agent market what will be the best talent on it, you can't pass up paying top market value if you have too.

 

7 @ 15? Yes. If that's what it takes.

Love your sig.

 

If the Cubs loose Aramis, Hendry will have an almost impossible job making this team competitive next year.

 

They will almost have to trade away their best minor league talent (such as it is) to get anything of quality.

 

I just can wrap my brain around this.

[minnesotacubsfan]

i dont get this.

 

if Aram is willing to give the Cubs ANY kind of discount, whats the arguement?

 

the Cubs wont find another talent like him on the FA market, especially at a discount. and aramis will getta pretty penny.

Third baseman Aramis Ramirez will test free agency, FOXSports.com has learned, creating yet another hole for a team that already had planned to pursue two starting pitchers, an outfield slugger, a center fielder and maybe a second baseman.

Cubs' Ramirez declines to sign with Cubs

 

That title is a little misleading IMO.

[illiniguy]

I am done with this joke of an organization for the time being. They don't give two craps about us, they feed us the same line every few years and proceed to lose 90 games.
