    I think Hendry refuses to go above 15 per season. It's over, IMO. I'm so completely convinced that it's an issue over a years and not the money. I'll bet Aramis wanted 6 and Hendry and the Cubs didn't want to exceed 5.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I think the Dodgers get him. They love former Cubs these days and aren't afraid to pay for the players Hendry tightens the pursestrings for.

    The number of Chicago journalists and Cubs blogs rooting that this would happen are now suddenly infuriating me one thousand fold. IvyChat was smarmy enough as it is before, but now it's going to be insufferable.

    Heh, Aramis saw himself as the nu-Mark Grace and wanted to get that ring before the twilight of his career.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    I'd like to think that even Pinellia is smart enough to want to punch Hendry in the mouth if this is true.

    I'll bet the Bears get murdered on Sunday, just to make this sweet, sweet agony complete.

    Do they? I don't think anyone ever notices anything with us outside of obsessed White Sox and Cardinals fans. Considering one of the best young hitters in baseball hit the market, I think the baseball world noticed. Oh, I'm sure people notice HIM. I just think most baseball fans don't give a rat's patoot about the Cubs as a whole. Aramis might as well have emerged from a void.

    I'm so lost here. The MLB.com front page story about Aramis posted at about 7 PM today makes the last minute talks sound even rosier than the article on Cubs.com: What the hell happened?

    "Get me the BIG knife!!!"

    Short of Aramis refusing anything under 7 years and/or wanting at least $17 million per, there's really no excuse unless Aramis said he simply doesn't want to come back no matter what the offer.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    If Hendry somehow pulled off a miracle and got Cabrera I would actually forget Aramis ever existed in this or any other dimension.

    What, Sammy forced Bonds to do what he did? Please.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Only NOW?

    http://www.bluetomorrow.com/images/stories/man%20law.jpg No fruit in beer! True. But it is a pretty good beer on its own, sans fruit. I think it's a Belgian wheat, and it has a really smooth, sweet aftertaste.

    So it's waiting for Hawkins to blow another save?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    "Jap pitcher?" Call me "over PC" if you want, that's pretty funky right there.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Can he play 3rd? We might have an opening.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    The next person that posts anything besides actual news or rumors gets an e-punch to the e-teeth.

    Would he even know? I'd have to say he'd probably know more than Buster Olney, considering Matsuzaka is his agent. uh, i think you got that backwards :oops: No, Daisuke really is THAT good.

    Then you would be creating another hole on the team. Not if they're determined to pick up at least 2 other starting pitchers. It all hinges on what else Hendry can get done. And Sanchez seems pretty good. That deal doesnt make sense. You dont trade a staff ace. Their determined to pick up at least 2 other starting pitchers? Who are these guys that are better than Zambrano? Why do they need to be better or even as good as Zambrano? Shell out for Zito or Schmidt or the other Japanese pitcher posting, another pitcher along the lines of Padilla (with less insane self-represented demands)...ideally 3 new hurlers but 2 if all that can be had. Combine those signings with Miller, Prior, Hill and Sanchez and just kind of hope for the best. Yeah, it's not ideal and there's definitely risks involved, but it does net you ARod and Sanchez doesn't seem to be a slouch, far from it. Like I said, I don't know if it's anything even close to being a smart deal. I can just see a potential upside to it. There's been talk of Zambrano having the potential for real health problems down the line, so selling high wouldn't have to be the end of the world and could actually be smart if done right.

    I'm beyond nervous. Now I'm just pissed off.

    Maybe I'm just an idiot, but possibly the Cubs looks to offer something like Zambrano (and a second, relatively minor player) for ARod and Sanchez?
  25. Sammy Sofa
    SEND UP THE BRUCE-SIGNAL! Seriously, I need even a shred of semi-legit insider info and/or analysis.
