The Jon Lester Signs w/ Cubs - 6 yrs/$155 Million

[NOLA]

yeah, hey! let's try to encourage a player to sign with the cubs by showing that endearing stalker spirit of scheduling unnecessary doctor appointments as a guise to get some insider info! GOOD IDEA!

 

I just called into the Cubs phone number and asked for Jim Hen Theo Epstein to encourage him to work out a deal for Jon Lester. I know I'm crazy but what can I say? His secretary said he was in a meeting (maybe working on the contract for Lester?) so he couldn't take my call. I ended up leaving him a message telling her that I know Theo will do his best to counter the Heyward trade. I told her that I'm hoping Lester will be that player. The secretary said Theo will appreciate my kind words.

 

Also BigBird says this deal will happen, so I believe him.

I'll bite. Who was that from this board who really did this a few years ago? Seems like it was some old codger.

don't listen to him ryne I think its a good idea

 

boy i think ethically he would be prohibited from doing that and i don't think you should encourage him.

 

what are you, some kind of ethics enforcer?

 

good point, i can't find one reference to abuck being the editor of a poetry journal

Yep - my username is in reference to the pearl jam album....

 

whoever mentioned asheville... i actually just moved to asheville 6 days ago... funny coincidence.

 

anyways, i will clarify that i highly doubt the FIL was yanking my chain... just not something he'd do given our relationship type. i tried to convey that with the "unsolicited" part of my post.

 

also, guys... c'mon, obviously this info is coming via the wife.

yeah, i heard about that. very cool. i named my dog Lukin after track #9... i couldn't make any of the shows this tour unfortunately.

 

i've seen them live 18 times... but to see them play an album in order would be pretty awesome.

[seanimal]

my favorite pearl jam album

[minnesotacubsfan]

funny, Hail Hail was playing on a Seattle radio stations tonight on my way home.

 

VS is still my fav, tho.

[Gilby]

Mooney's been kind of reporting on the Lester pursuit like he did Tanaka last year - despite how much the Cubs want him, he doesn't sound confident at all they'll land him.

Damn... I thought I would've seen them the most with 7 times on this board. I went to St. Louis last month and it was awesome like always. Ten is EASILY my fav album, but #2 for me is Yield (I know I'm def in the minority on this one).
