  1. He's doing one a night. Braves on Saturday, Mystery Team on Sunday, Dodgers on Monday, Giants on Tuesday.....Yankees on Wednesday, A's on Thursday, Expos on Friday then he will choose between the Red Sox and Cubs
  2. What does this say about Lester's decision. Good for Chicago right? In all seriousness that was pretty
  3. Definitely not. The White Sox spend a great deal of their resources trying to get fans to come to the games. That's not meant to be an insult either. We don't exactly sell out when the Cubs or bad. Some would argue nor should we. Welcome to the forum, glad to see some new faces in here. What do your sources say about Lesters decision btw?
  4. He should probably talk to his GM. Or maybe it's true this time.
  5. I hate you. I thought I had the scoop on the funny
  6. If they do they will likely eliminate conference championship games
  7. I think SI will release an article titled "I'm (not) Coming Home" where Lester explains why he's coming to the Cubs.
  8. The Sox had a period of 4-5 years where it was common knowledge that the Cubs were going to suck and be irrelevant and had 2 of their worst seasons in recent memory the last 2 years. In fact they finished with a worse record than the Cubs in 2013 and the same record in 2014. You'd think if that was the case the Sox would have seen the opportunity to gain ground in Chicago and do whatever it took to win. I dunno I'm not saying they completely ignore what the Cubs are doing but I don't think it's a driving factor in their major decisions.
  9. Jesus Shark really does not like the Cubs. He was asked on B+B his thoughts on the Cubs finally turning the corner and his response was "I did everything I was asked to do as a Cub, and I'm proud that I was a professional during my time there". He grit his teeth enough for Dan to say he can tell there was something bittersweet in his answer.
  10. At this point with all the shoddy reporting, intense speculation and drama, I almost expect Lester to announce that he is giving us his decision on an ESPN special tomorrow evening.
  11. The Giants are also in the market for a new Assistant GM
  12. Cubs are apparently meeting with David Ross's agent tonight
  13. Dammit I wasted all that time reading about the great Montero/Castillo platoon.
  14. Meaningless update but whatever. From the good 18 year old:
  15. Oh man here comes Lester signing with the Red Sox Hah Anyways he basically said this same thing on the radio just now but this was from a chat earlier:
  16. Jesse Rogers seems to think the Cubs are in the driver's seat too
  17. http://www.overthemonster.com/2014/12/9/7362385/red-sox-jon-lester-free-agent-rumors-cubs Over the Monster is an SB Nation Red Sox blog. Have no idea if they are just rehashing information or if they have legit sources.
  18. Jesse Rodgers on ESPN 1000 seems pretty positive that the Cubs have the highest offer or at least at the same level as Boston. He thinks its Money/Curse Breaking (Chicago) vs. Heartstrings (Boston). He also thinks the Cubs changed course over the last couple of days in acquiring Hammel and Montero to show Lester they are prepared to compete next year.
