this is really upsetting....Another year of wait till next season......This team needs a new direction..........this sucks....the cubs suck

 

Let's not say things we can't take back, it's not like they were worse than the Brewers last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait....

i'd rather lose this next year and have hendry and dustbag run out of town than win and endure many more seasons of this garbage.

 

i've put up with enough losing seasons in my life. one more won't kill me if there is a real possibility of change for the better down the road.

I'm actually glad we didn't get Furcal - why tie up the budget to that degree on somebody who's not that great?

 

What does worry me, though, is that Hendry will see all the money he has freed up, and spend it all on more mediocre crap, rather than on something substantial that will help the team.

Well, if anyone wants to try to be optomistic, its been an hour and a half...still no other media reports.

 

Please quantify your optimism.

 

Are you optimistic that Furcal took our original offer and this report is just wrong?

 

Or,

 

That we upped our bid to beat out the Dodgers and this report was prematurely made before we outbid them?

Not on Dodger board yet.

 

Yes it is. I saw it on the Dodger's board first then went to latimes.com to see if it was authentic before creating this thread.

I'm with you on this - but wouldn't that mean that we would be putting the ball in the court of MacPhail to hire BETTER people?

 

That makes me want to throw up more than the post about Juan Encarnacion did - which is a lot.

How about

 

Optimistic that hendry still might get furcal so he doesnt have to go into panic mode.

I'd rather win. Period.

 

I don't care if (insert most hated person here) is coaching the team, I want to win. If you don't think that's possible with this management team (and I think that's what you're saying), that's one thing. But to wish for losing is something I just don't understand. They don't have to win my way, I just want wins.

Why am I having this Clark Grizwald waiting on his Christmas bonus like feeling lately??

 

Because you're about to embark upon a zany adventure?

 

Or could it be that Babyface Pierre could end up being our "christmas bonus" this year.

Um....the story isn't on latimes.com anymore.

 

And the plot thickens...

 

I can only hope that this somehow comes back to that Derek Lowe + LA medio story. Best story of the year in my opinion.

 

INFIDELITY'D!

If he comes to the Cubs

 

1. Will they make a hat small enough to fit his head?

 

2. Will they make him wear it on his head bill forward?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

Hmm.... Check this out. This report came out 8 minutes ago (though it sounds like one that came out this morning)

 

Rafael Furcal's price tag continues to rise with two teams now offering more money than the Atlanta Braves.

 

The Los Angeles Dodgers have offered the free-agent shortstop a three-year deal worth $39 million, a person familiar with negotiations told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It would make Furcal the highest-paid shortstop in baseball.

Los Angeles' bid came on the heels of a five-year pitch worth nearly $50 million from the Chicago Cubs.
