Furcal to be a Cub? (shot down by LA Times)

[Schwarber Fan]

OK guys, this is according to len

 

someone on the cubs.com board has talked to len kasper who has reportedly told him that Jim Hendry said to len that Furcal was 100% gonna be a Cub by tomorrow. I PMed Len and got a response:

 

Aramis Fan: i simply need to know if u could log on to nsbb tonight, go to the transaction thread, find the one i start called "Len says Furcal to be a Cubs... no joke" and just back it up and give some info

 

Len: I'll try.

 

He will hopefully back me up soon.

So is Len guessing? Cause RockTheIvy says the same thing.

Yea.. My cousin Al's niece Ronika is dating this dude named Frank, who has a nephew that is close to the guy that was on the Cubs board and he heard Len say it too.

OK guys, this is NO JOKE.... I SWEAR...

This is again... NO JOKE

 

If this is true, it's probably not cool that we leaked it? Oh nevermind, I'm on pins and needles I want to know!

[Rooftop Bum]

Hope it's true. Mainly to get it behind us and go after a few more players as well via trades or free agent signings.

No way, Ronika knew my half-brother's ex-girlfriend's stepmom's great aunt!

You better not be talking about my mother...

Really? My cousin's, nextdoor neighbor's, cat sitter, thought she saw it too. :P

I set up the Q and A with him.... I've talked to him b4 as has DJAXX

Yea, but I already asked her about it and she said Len was sleep most of the day and not dealing with the Cubs today. I hear that he's depressed because Keshia is pregnant.

Everyone once in awhile at work, I like making up a rumor, telling one person, then see how long it takes to get back to me, and how much it has changed. It can be pretty funny some times. If I were Len Kasper, I'd be leaking all sorts of wild rumors out there, then see how much of legs they grow on their own...

I'd have a tendency to believe AramisFan if he says he talked to Len over PM, actually.

[SeldomSeen]

Et tu, Aramis Fan?

 

Seriously, I hope this is true, just so we can move on. I don't think I can handle another Furcal thread.

My mom used to do that all the time at work when I was little. I thought it was pretty funny.

Oh it might be true. I just got a kick out of how the post was written. It was like he was out of breath.

I believe it. Of course it helps that I was pretty sure Furcal was going to be a Cub anyway.

 

I want to see on ESPN's bottom line:

 

"Poster Aramis Fan on NorthSideBaseball.com reports that free agent SS Rafael Furcal will sign with Cubs"

I don't know about ESPN, but it'd be a big step in the right direction in terms of the reliability of the average source that the Score or Phil Rogers use...

[Blueheart05]

I guess my first question is why wait until tomorrow if it's 100%? Unless he plans to have a press conference with Hendry.

I agree. I can't imagine someone with over 1,500 posts on this board all of a sudden starting a bogus rumor.

LOL

 

I could definitely see that happening.

[wXw]

Honestly, I hope it's true too. Saturday night... bored... and I shriek whenever someone mentions the cubs board as a source. My bad...

Because he's hitting the bars tonight!

A lie like that would be like signing your own virtual execution papers.

 

I must confess that I'm now worried about the terms of the contract with reports of $13m/year from LA.

[CUBZ99]

Would be nice to see some verification of the signing. I'm sure if Len knows that other outlets will find out or report it soon.
