where did that line come from?

That was Jim Hendry rationalizing giving Neifi about 2.49M more than any other team was going to give him for 2006.

 

I think we should put CuseCubFan's new team motto on the shirt. "Cubs Fever 2006...Catch It!"*

 

*and if you can't catch it, you'll be traded

Unsurprisingly, no quotes from Hendry in the Cubs.com article about the signing. Even the editors knew "I like guys who can catch the ball" was a miserable excuse for a signing like this.

 

"I'm so happy. You don't even know how happy I am," Perez said.

 

Well I would be too for being given 5M for sucking.

did he actually say that?

 

it is either from the piece in the trib or Daily Herald.

 

Here is my idea

 

"2006 Chicago Cubs, we pay top dollar for medicority"

 

or

 

"1908 to 2006, ninety-eight years and countling."

I like this better....

 

"Cubs Fever. Catch it!*

 

 

"then get some antibiotics."

I am all for that one - that really made me laugh...

I'd only wear an anti-Cubs success shirt in the company of fellow Cubs fans, and we would have to make sure no Cubs foes would be able to purchase them. :wink:

 

That being said, I'm all for Meat&Potatoes' avatar in Tshirt form, depending on how the offseason ends up.
