Cubs Announcement: Samardzija Forgoes the NFL for the Cubs

[Chris]

From the Cubs:

 

WHAT: Chicago Cubs Vice President and General Manager Jim Hendry will make an announcement.

 

WHEN: Friday, January 19, 2007

 

TIME: 1:30 p.m. CT

If the announcement is that they to, are ready for some football, I'll be dissapointed.

[CuseCubFan69]

"We have aquired Neifi Perez."

 

Let all the rumors begin!

[Dr. Cub]

OMG!!! They've taken Neifi back from the Tigers, and he's going to start in CF and bat leadoff. EVERYONE RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!! (scream like a 3 year old girl while doing it; waving your hands frantically above your head for effect.)

[Derwood]

"We are bringing back names on the home uniforms, but they will be across the players' butts. Also, we are moving to the blue pajama shirt full time, with red pants, yellow shoes and pink caps with green bills"

[Jon]

Does this mean that they won't save the unveiling of the mission accomplished banner until the start of the convention?

[Derwood]

"We're sorry to inform you that we're already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Season ticket packages still available..."

[CubsLadyinSTL]

LMFAO. That is freaking hilarious, of course not everyone in my office probably thinks my outbursts when I read this stuff is as funny.

[CubsLadyinSTL]

No but seriously, does anyone have an idea of what this is about??

[Amazing_Grace]

Probably about the jerseys or some other meaningless stuff. If it was a major trade announcement, it would already be on the sports news channels, and if it was regarding the possible sale of the team, it would be someone higher than GM making the announcement.

[BigbadB]

I'd have to say resignations wouldn't be a total disappointment.

[Derwood]

someone light up the Bruce Signal

[CUBZ99]

Any chance that they announce the signing of that kid from ND? :D

[CuseCubFan69]

I'm hoping that he doesn't want to play with a freshman QB and take a chance on getting killed going up the middle.

[Derwood]

"In a landmark licensing deal, Wrigley Field will now be known as Tampax Field at Masengil Park. The deal is binding through 2035"

[goonys evil twin]

Probably about the jerseys or some other meaningless stuff..

 

I doubt Hendry would be involved in such an announcement.

[moorecg]

Zambrano extension?

[Mark Priors Calves]

hmmm...pretty interesting timing with the cub convention starting tonight. i'd imagine it'd be good news so it wouldn't ruin all the fun and excitement of the weekend. if it was bad news, i'd guess they'd wait until next week to announce it (if possible).

[BigbadB]

Maybe they will be announcing refunds to the season ticket holders for the 2004-2006 seasons. :D

[CubinNY]

Zambrano contract (not extension) and Samardja is going to play baseball full time.

 

Frankly, I am worried if they lock up Z long term.

Because of the possible bad back or past over usage?

More so about the abuse.
