In the event this doesn't get resolved before the World Series, I vote we lock this thread and not re-open it until actual substantive news becomes available.

 

Or don't come here and pretend it's locked. Nobody is forcing you to click on the thread.

Great, Laura.

 

No doubt the Red Sox are playing hardball or this would have been done last week.

That's actually the easiest part of ignoring this thread.

 

Truthfully, I just have poor self-control :(

Enough of your emotional problems. Lets get back on the subject of how sexy Theo is.

[Hollandsworths mug]

Could you imagine a headline like:

 

"UNBELIEVABLE! Agreed upon deal to bring Epstein to Cubs falls through because of Cubs refusal to give up double A pitcher Trey McNutt".

 

Thankfully, I know Ricketts is not this ignorant and Theo will come here.

Followed a month later by McNutt to under go TJS.

and the Cubs wont give up McNutt because Theo and Ricketts wouldn't allow it to happen

I think a more realistic headline is, "Internet spaz 'Hollandsworth's mug' touches weiners."

[manbearcub]

I say Ricketts should just call Bud and let Bud tell the red sox to go [expletive] themselves.

honestly, I think you have the wrong poster

You like McNutt, don't you?

I think he was trying to be nice to you.

[SouthSideRyan]

My two year old has threatened to hold his breath until he dies *and* hate me forever if he does not receive additional cookies at snack time. I don't want him to die or hate me forever, so clearly he has the leverage on me.

 

About meathead fan reaction, Ricketts gives as many metaphorical poops as Truffle does real ones. If Ricketts cared about that stuff, Hendry would have been fired two years ago, Sandberg would be the manager and Soriano would be released.

You're right, he doesn't care about selling season tickets.

 

Do you think the Cubs sold more season tickets by hiring Mike Quade than if they hired Ryne Sandberg?

[Hollandsworths mug]

Look at this list dating back to 05 and 06 and you'll find two players that have been good major leaguers. And both of them were not in the: "can't miss kids class".

[C.C.]

Carlos Marmol is a bust?

[Rob]

Somebody doesnt understand that "how valuable is Theo Epstein to the Cubs?" and "how much do the Red Sox need to get to make trading Epstein a good idea for them?" are not the same question.

 

Or Hollandsworths mug is a troll account. Could be that too.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Pinto is a bust?

 

if anything, the Cubs have a much better track record with developing pitchers, your list kind of points that out.

[Guest]

Carlos Marmol is a bust?

 

I'd imagine he's one of the two.

[Hollandsworths mug]

Carlos Marmol is a bust?

 

He and Marshall are the only ones who have done anything. And Marmol is not exactly setting the world on fire anymore.

[C.C.]

Sean Marshall is a bust?

Ah. I didn't read his post. just the bust part.
