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

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Let me be more clear. Some of us like to read, and keep our pompous, annoying, rude, and generally incorrect and argumentative comments to ourselves instead of being perceived as asses. That's just me though.

 

I'm trying to follow here, but you are just not making any sense at all. Is this one of those Cleverbot things?

 

he's calling you an ass

 

Huh. I was not getting that at all.

[Dr. Cub]

In other news.......WHEN IS HE SIGNING?!?!?! I cannot handle another swing and a miss.

THE LEGAL TRIANGLE

I think I'm in the 9% (pats himself on back)

Is it a swing and a miss if we opt to sign Scherzer instead of Lester? How about if Theo gets Amaro drunk enough to deal Hamels for something reasonable?

 

Of course it's not. So relax and wait to see how it all plays out. It's not a swing and a miss unless we go into Opening Day without having made the upgrades. Resist the urge to feel like our offseason hinges on one guy, because it doesn't.

We are the 90%.

i am less than convinced by the post history, but hopefully he is right. will be nice when this is done and decided.

 

had the dates and the order of the first batch of meetings like a week before anyone reported it, IIRC.

he previously was one of the guys thinking lester was going to boston, right?

Didn't he previously have a hunch that the Cubs didn't think they could get him?

I get the feeling the Cubs think he’s going to go back to Boston.

Once Rosenthal breaks this he better give nocode credit.

I was just letting my irrational side out for a little walk. It's all better now. Have to do that every once in a while.

I think deep down we all know those two possibilities are pretty unlikely.

It would be so nice to head into the winter meetings craziness with Lester already wrapped up.

I'm even more stingy at 1/2 a post a year. The 1% here is 4 people.

[Bull]

It is my understanding that Lester will not sign with Cubs unless and until this thread reaches 100 pages.
