MacPhail: Deal is dead (p. 297), stop posting, go outside

Hopefully Bruce Miles can chime in. You there Bruce?

 

If he's smart, far away from this thread.

haha yes.

Maybe this opens the door for Patterson to make the big league squad. If DeRosa is needed in more of a super sub role (whatever that is), I'd like to see Patterson get some reps at 2b rather than Fontenot. And I'm especially not keen on the idea of a middle infield of Cedeno/Theriot if DeRosa is spelling someone else.

 

Why aren't you locking this damned thread!

 

I secretly want this thread to cross the 300 page plateau. That way we can say we talked about nothing for 300 pages.

Hey, If thats the case than let me help the cause!

This is just a way for the trade rumors to stop so that they can actually complete the deal....maybe, who knows.

Is it fair to say that this is the longest NSBB thread ever about something that never actually happened?

[Bull]

this is getting carried away. Time to lock?

 

maybe lock on page 299. That'd serve 'em.

[ctcf]

Didn't Bruce say a while ago this wasn't going to happen?

Rosenthal says the trade isn't happening.

 

The Cubs will not trade for Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts before opening day, according to major-league sources.

 

The teams have been unable to reach an agreement on the players that the Orioles would receive in return. While a revival of the discussions is always possible, the two sides are at an impasse.

 

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7949132/Sources:-Roberts-to-Cubs-looking-unlikely

 

Way to waste 3 months on Roberts and leave us stuck with a top of the order of Theriot/Soriano, Jimbo.

 

the only reason we're stuck with theriot/soriano is because lou piniella is dumb enough to hit theriot at leadoff.

And because Hendry decided not to try and upgrade the shortstop position.

If he wasn't batting leadoff, Lou would have hit him second. Either way, he should have been replaced, and that is Jim's job. Jom is to blame for not replacing him, and Lou is to blame for making it even worse.

Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax -

Of cabbages - and kings -

And why the sea is boiling hot -

And whether pigs have wings."
