OMG READ THE ENTIRE THREAD AND STOP BEING LAZY! Am I doing it right?
-
Yeah, that's exactly it. You got me. :roll: :roll:
-
So we're going to do it this way, then? Ok, fine. I've got some time to kill....

Not only will you not check any of the dozens of news sources but you suggest that someone else summarize everything for you in a neat little FAQ section? Wow. Hostile much? The tone of my post was not just for me, but for all people, seeing as you said my question was answered "a million times already", and seeing as I only asked it once... you do the math. I apparently wasn't the only one to ask the question, and this would give an easy outlet to EVERYONE, not just me. Calm down. Take some deep breaths, and go to your happy place. Think positive thoughts. (yes, I understand the irony here) I'm rarely hostile and not now. Your asking others to spend time making your life easy when you can't be bothered to check Cot's for a GM's contract status is annoying. You may not be hostile, but you sure do have trouble reading. Go back to the very post you responded to and see the part where I said "everyone." Go ahead. I'll wait here. .... Done yet? Ok. I was merely putting a suggestion out there to cut down on the repetition from everyone (there's that word again!) and not just me. If simple, well-intentioned suggestions bother you that much, you must have some issues.

I answered your question and you responded with a smart ass remark. You did answer, but you acted all put out by it, so THEN I responded with a smart-ass remark. The FAQ suggestion was legit though. However, if the mods don't want to do it, that's fine. Just a suggestion.

I don't think anyone knows what's going on, including Theo.

*sigh* Moorad and Ricketts are buddies. Moorad loves Byrnes. Therefore, Moorad will not stand in the way of Hoyer coming to the Cubs, thereby allowing him to promote Byrnes to GM. Your annoyance by my very existence is amusing to me. This forum must amuse the hell out of you then. That said, it's not your existence that is annoying. It's the fact that people keep asking questions that have been answered like 10x already by links/reports. Even if there's too much random discussion in here, is it that much harder to check ESPNChicago or the Tribune's sports page for the latest than it is to ask someone here? It does! I have a great time here. Perhaps someone could throw together an FAQ and put it in the original post? That way if someone asks a question that has been "asked a million times" (give or take), they can be directed to the FAQ in the OP. Just seems like it would make things easier on everyone and cut down on a lot of the repetition.

Your annoyance by my very existence is amusing to me. I won't speak for David, but the current annoyance may come from asking a Q that was addressed a million times in the last couple of days. Possibly. Apologies for not reading through 6 billion new posts.

So was Hoyer under contract to SD? If so, do we owe them any compensation?
-
I also can't imagine him going back to work there either. That's why I think it will happen. It will take as much time as Henry can drag out of Ricketts. It's a huge PR mess for them. Dragging this thing out is about the only face saving gesture they can do at this point. After it's over they will sling mud on Ricketts and Theo and hope the masses buy it all. I mean legally they can't keep him under contract and prevent him from fulfilling his duties. I assume his contract gives him pretty broad baseball decision authority that they'd need someone to use. They can't just usurp that without letting him go one way or another. John Henry will chain Theo's ankle to his office chair and stand behind him menacingly with a whip.

Welcome to Cubs Fandom.
-
The Red Sox are being huge douches.
-
Do we still have Hoyer, or is he contingent on Theo?
-
I'd laugh so hard. It would serve them right.
-
Ricketts is doing all he can, but it takes two to tango. If the Red Sox are going to take their ball and go home, there isn't much we can do about it.
-
If I'm Ricketts I leak all the Red Sox bad faith tricks that I can, hoping to put the public pressure on them to stop acting like [expletive] children.
-
Seriously, they don't even WANT Theo there anymore. Can't Bud step in and do something for once?
-
God dammit, I'm really starting to hate the Red Sox right now. That entire organization can eat a boatload of dicks.
-
Chuck Norris would have roundhouse kicked John Henry into submission by now.
-
The tides turn fast around here. No worries.
-
CT's finally off the hook.
-
Pfft, I can see my family anytime, but there will only be ONE Theo introductory press conference.
-
This is pretty much how I feel. He's a decent prospect, but if parting with a decent prospect means lots more decent prospects in the future, then it's a good price to pay.
