Just give me this one thing, you stupid [expletive] dildos.

Has everybody picked out their reaction gifs yet? (Presumably one positive and one negative -- just in case)

[Sammy Sofa]

You have to go with the moment.

RT @Buster_ESPN: Lester talks nearing the finish line, sources say. Choice will be made no earlier than tonight, no later than tomorrow.

It's like how it's bad luck to write out an acceptance speech. Let the gif flow naturally

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I'll go with the obvious

i think some team goes 7 years, and it won't be us

 

i won't exactly be emotionally devastated by it, provided we trade say, an extra 2B, for Cashner or Wheeler or whomever

If we lose out on Lester and the consolation is [expletive] Cashner, I'll be very disappointed.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

oh yay, cashner can make 13 starts a year for us

I'm normally an optimist with this kind of stuff, but this isn't going to end well.

This thread, the Lester sweepstakes or both?

Yeah, I'm already resigned to the awfulness. Hopefully it happens late tonight so I don't have to follow the carnage live on Twitter or NSBB.

I was referring to the Lester sweepstakes, but really, that means both.

this is going to end with boston giving him 8 years and him saying he never seriously considered leaving

My money is on SF.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[expletive] your negativity. He's going to sign with the Cubs then completely suck ass after 2 years.

[ConstableRabbit]

We're going to end up with this guy, aren't we.

 

 

@Mojo, he used to pitch for the Cubs and his name sounds like "Jon Lester"

 

[MWV]

I'd rank the likelihood of Lester's destination as SF>BOS>CHC>LAD.

[expletive] your negativity. He's going to sign with the Cubs then completely suck ass after 2 years.

 

Man, you dream big.

Man, you dream big.

My negativity is better than your negativity.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I already told you guys he's not going to sign with SF in an odd year
