This is seriously starting to just make me tired. All of it. I really wish Hendry would just come out and say that the O's are being ridiculous and break off talks with them. This kind of distraction can not be good for a team trying to compete.

 

We won the division with DeRosa last year as our 2B, WE DON'T NEED ROBERTS!!! Just move on.

And the good thing is the division stayed exactly the same over the offseason.

It's possible that Hendry just said, hey, this is our offer and come back to me if you want to deal. Mean while, Hendry can still look around for another fix somewhere else.

I don't think that's enough if that's what he's said. He needs to either s@!t or get off the pot if you ask me. If he just leaves it with the O's as "here's our offer talk to me when you want to accept it", then DeRo and the rest of the Cubs are going to be dealing with Roberts questions all season.

 

He needs to end the distractions and either make the deal and soon, or tell the O's to go home and fire off a few more knuckle children because the Cubs are no longer playing the game that MacPhail (or Angelos) seems to be playing here. And publicly take the deal offered off the table and walk away.

 

I honestly don't know if the O's are really waiting for someone else to get involved to drive the price up, but I hope Hendry sees through that.

I don't know. I do know this, I hope the Cubs don't do business with the O's for a long time after this. Of course, unless they want to reacquire Treshel!

I couldn't agree more with you about not dealing with the O's from here on out.

Patton is headed to surgery and will most likely miss this season leaving the Orioles staff another arm short hopefully talk them into taking Marquis off are hands.

They will probably ask for 2 more prospects plus Marquis (7 for 2 deal) because they're doing us a favor in taking Marquis.

I really don't see the O's taking Marquis as they already have a veteran on the staff.

In vaguely related news, Troy Patton just opted to undergo shoulder surgery and is expected to be out of action for all of 2008.

I googled it and this is correct.
