  1. I do not follow Kaplan very often and have only been following recently again during this Epstein process. Did he really do this?
  2. Kaplan is in a groove and a good one.
  3. Ken Rosenthal: 10:51PM Everyone tweeting and getting articles up now. This is going to go down very soon! Finally!!!!
  4. Peter Gammons is crying in his beer. His boy Theo is coming to the North Side of Chicago and despite his dumbass comments today, he can only watch it happen now.
  5. Source: Resolution on Theo Epstein talks ‘possible’ by Friday :clapping: According to a source familiar with the protracted Theo Epstein compensation talks, a resolution is “possible” by Friday, an off-day in the World Series. And if commissioner Bud Selig allows, Epstein’s move to run the Chicago Cubs’ baseball operations finally may become official. At that time, the Red Sox will announce Ben Cherington as their new general manager. During the negotiations, the Red Sox have put most other matters on hold, although a team source said the club has been doing “due diligence” in its search for a new manager. Once Epstein’s situation is resolved, it is expected the Red Sox will take steps to start the process of lining up interviews with managerial candidates.

  6. Doubt it. Probably Vitters and a lesser prospect. And letting Vitters go isn't that big of a deal. Not sure why so many have given up on Josh. Still a lot of upside. That said, to get Theo, adios.
  7. 9:22 Kaplan tweets the compensation will be: " something fairly signifigant". I have to think Vitters or McNutt (or both are going to go).
  8. And that dust they use.
  9. Dave Kaplan making my day! What is this world coming to? As for Gammons, Carfado and all of the rest of the snide and crass Bostonites-Suck it!
  10. Well, I was productive for my family tonight. I was at my sons basketball practice until 7PM. After that, I made dinner, took the dogs out and got the kids to bed. All of this while my wife is out of town. Nothing wrong with this little thing we love called sports and the Cubs. Now YOU go be productive with your family and go back to WSI.
  11. @thekapman 1 minute ago. Signifigant progress made today. On a side note, Ricketts impressed a candidate he interviewed for the Cubs job who spoke on the condition of annonimity. He said Ricketts wants his Cubs to be an elite franchise, not just a quick fix. The story is on csn but I can not post it from my phone.
  12. It's like Ricketts is this badass bully and he is picking on all the teams for their best assets and if they say no he'll beat them up. http://www.bleachernation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tomrickettsownsthecubs-213x300.jpg "Give me your lunch money or else"
  13. Sullivan throws something against the wall regarding Heath Bell.

  15. http://www1.pictures.stylebistro.com/gi/Brian+Wilson+Pendant+Necklaces+Cross+Pendant+teCJdJg9sfnl.jpg Swag debate over.
  16. That's actually Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo band).
  17. Gammons is just repeating what he hears from his sources. None of what he says is his own assumptions/beliefs.
  18. http://bostondirtdogs.boston.com/Headline_Archives/BDD_theo-epsein-1.5.06.jpg "Come on, baby don't you want to go Come on, baby don't you want to go To the same old place, sweet home Chicago Now, one and one is two, two and two is four I'm heavy loaded baby, I'm booked, I gotta go Cryin' baby, honey, don't you want to go Back to the same old place, my sweet home Chicago Come on, baby don't you want to go Com on, baby don't you want to go To the same old place, sweet home Chicago Now two and two is four, six and two is eight Come on baby, don't you make me late I'm cryin' hey, baby, don't you want to go To the same old place, sweet home Chicago"

  21. And the only reason people like Trey McNutt is because he has three of them. Seriously now, time for Ricketts to sew this up.
  22. I want a lateral promotion.
  23. NO one and I mean NO one has said the Red Sox should not seek compensation. The problem is that they are seeking RIDICULOUS compensation (Garza for sure and possibly Castro) for a guy that they really do not want anymore (despite what they may say). Henry recently indirectly threw Epstein under the bus by saying he did not want the Crawford deal from the get go. The Cubs (by all accounts) have offered to pay huge money for the last year of Theo's contract, which, in itself, is ample compensation. They have also offered some sort of minor league players as well. And this for a guy that Hendry indicated is burned out and the shelf life for his spot has run it's course. So, yea, they are out of line here.
