I'm not getting my hopes up, here. Good that Hendry is trying to get it done, but I'm not holding my breath.

Miake it Cedeno, Aardsma, Williams, and a bat and you've got a deal.

There is an clause that is kicked in, automatically (see Javier Vazquez) that allows a player the "right to demand a trade" if he is dealt in the middle of a multi-year contract. So yes, Tejada has that right now, if he is dealt. Well being able to demand a trade and opting out are two separate issues. I would see why Tejada would want to opt out of his contract (more money) but i dont see any reason to demand a trade from the Cubs. Um, he's ticked at Baltimore for sucking...... I'm sure he'd have similar complaints if he came here.

Anyone know who the oldest major leaguer was? I'll guess it wasn't Sandberg! :lol: I believe that would be Satchell Paige, who pitched at the tender age of 59. I'm pretty sure you're right.

And Freel made that awesome catch at Wrigley in 2004.

Maybe Sammy will come back. ;)

:lol: What ever happened to him? Retirement? I think he got whacked.

I think it would be fun to assemble the best roster you can with a payroll of $90 million or less. A full 25 man roster.

Come on, you know that Jones was gonna end up here one way or another. It's Jim Hendry we're talking about.

I don't know. Tejada might upset this wonderful team "chemistry" we have. :eyeroll:

Yes

I'll miss you, Nomar!!

I'd see what Boston wants for Lowell. We didn't offer Nomar arbitration, so he won't be back.

It's a nice pipe dream, guys, but there is no way Tejada is a Cub by Opening Day. No. Way.

3 I believe... 1 here, 1 for Wellemeyer, and 1 for Van Buren. You mean Leicester not Welly right? Yeah. Got me before I had a chance to edit that out. Where'd Leicester go again? I know JVB went to Boston.

Who here wants to bet that since the Cubs are playing the desperation card AGAIN that Hendry will make a move--- any move--- just to get rid of him, and we'll get royally fleeced.

If it's true, someone messed up. He's still on the Score right now if you care to listen.

Last Saturday, Furcal's agent told reps that the Dodgers made a "significant offer". Furcal's agent went to the Cubs, and said that all they had to up theirr 5/47.5 offer simply just a little bit (probably less than a million per year) and he would have signed. The term Ofman used was "mere pittance." Furcal wanted to come to the Cubs and play for Dusty and with Aramis and Neifi, and was willing to take siginficantly less money to come here, but those higher up than Jim Hendry nixed the deal for less than about $1 million per year. This smacks of MacPhail or the Tribune who completely botched this move. This is all per Ofman on Boers and Bernstien on The Score.

I still want him here hitting 2nd for the Cubs in 2006.

I liked Rondell when he was here.

You're kidding, right? We basically gave him money the last two years - plenty enough to live out the rest of his life. I wish my job would pay me that much to be terrible.

Someone please explain the whole Rubby Perez thing to me. I am woefully out of the loop.

Neifi, of course. He's the only Dusty Dude left on the squad. He makes the best coffee and brings Dusty his paper just how he likes it.

I'd kill to be in your shoes right now, BTW. You still have money to spend and you've signed Pierre, Howry, and Eyre and re-signed Perez and Rusch. We've signed a backup catcher in Bennett and a backup utility guy in Cruz. Rumor has it we also have only 10 mil left to sign a 2nd baseman, LF, RF, and a fully retooled bullpen. Cry me a river. Yeah. It must really suck to be a Cardinal fan. Anyway, now 2 out of 3 of Dusty's toys from Opening Day 2005 have gone. Hollandsworth was traded and Macias was DFA'ed. Too bad Neifi was RESIGNED HENDRY YOU MORON WHY THE **** DID YOU RESIGN NEIFI FRICKIN PEREZ YOU FOOL!!!!! GAAAAHHHHH!!!

We have 10 days to trade him, otherwise he will be released. HE"S FINALLY GONE THANK YOU SWEET GOD THANK YOU. :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: :willynilly: Roast, very rarely do I laugh out loud when on this site.
