Is Hairston going Washington?

[WildcatCubby]

I would like to know if anyone was paying attention today after the game had just ended there was a closeup of Dusty and Hairtson talking to each other while walking of the field and it sounded like Dusty said something about going to Washington. Dont want to start anything here just want to know if anyone noticed it or heard it like I did. He could have been talking about the Wild Card also. Edited July 23, 2005 by WildcatCubby

You should change the title of your post. It makes it sound like he got traded.

[E.J.]

Geez. I thought the guy was traded. This title needs a change.

Welcome!

 

How did you "hear" it? I'm a little confused.

[USSoccer]

why would we send our only CF to Washington?

 

Unless they're sending Wilkerson straight up for him. :D

The Cubs would still have Macias who could play CF and leadoff. :pukel:

Yeah I'm thinking someone needs to edit that title.

 

They were talking, but I think that's quite a reach. I definitely couldn't hear anything and it was tough to read his lips.

Musta been something else. Washington doesn't need a 2B or an OF since they just acquired Preston Wilson. I don't see how Junior would fit on their team.

On the TV. There was this close-up of Baker with Hairston and words were mumbled including "Washington".

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

wow, that title scared the you-know-what out of me.

[rickrolled]

I missed it but some fans on Cubs.com saw it as well.

[E.J.]

Anyone Tivo the game? Maybe you could go back and try to see what was said.

[WildcatCubby]

I just edited the title, sorry about the heart attack but obviously some people heardd some of the same things I thought i heard and Im not crazy.

I don't like to speculate, but Dusty did have his arm around him and almost surely said "Washington". Now, perhaps they were talking about George, but I really don't see what else it could be.

 

Now, what the heck could we be getting from a first place team that has equal value.

 

I, for one, do not want to see Jerry and his .370+ OBP leave.

Brad Wilkerson would be a nice addition to this team. But I don't know why Washington would want Hairston, they don't need an OF after trading for Preston Wilson, and they already have Vidro at 2B.

Probably said something else.. hopefully.. Edited July 23, 2005 by Omar

If Hairston were really traded, don't you think the news would have leaked by now?

[wrigley23]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. He wouldn't tell him on the field about a trade. They had to have been talking about chasing Washington in the wild card since they are blowing it down their leg to 'hotlanta.

[Mad Ducks]

I live in VA and haven't heard anything on the local radio/tv.....

Hairston has a .349 OBP. He hasn't been close to .370 for some time.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

maybe dusty said he (dusty) was going to washington and robinson was coming to the cubs. :D

 

lol

[WildcatCubby]

wrigley23 I hope your right because there is nothing that washington has that we should want
