Wow, she's trying to eat his face. -
Gah, I hate WCIU.
-
From the quotes coming out, it sounds like Lou Piniella had next to no hand in this. This one's all Hendry.

Say something optimistic about Edmonds on the Cubs
Outshined_One replied to bukie's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This deal will only help Jim Hendry get fired in this upcoming offseason. -
I'll go with... .211/.287/.350 with 2 HRs in 30 games.
-
Alright! Mediocrity, here we come!

I'm just praying some team out there puts in a claim for Edmonds so that he doesn't clear waivers. It wouldn't be the worst Cubs signing of all time. I'm not saying that because I like Edmonds. I'm saying that because, having grown up with this team, I can always be assured that, no matter how dumb they've gotten, they have always had dumber moments in the past.

Outshined_One replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Sorry about the lack of updates, but some issues came up last night that required my attention. I'll have the full boxes posted later in the day. -

ATTN: Lou Piniella Stop it. Just stop.
-
Jim Hendry will use that AB as justification for picking up Edmonds.
-
Pie please.
-
Eff you Estes, quit dragging out the game.
-
I'd buckle her up.
-
Khalil Greene hates the Cubs. :(
-
Holy wow that was bad, DeRo.
-
I say we put a Michael Wuertz jersey on him, shop him around, and see if anyone notices the difference.
-
My attempt at reading Larry's lips during the conversation on the mound: Larry: "You suck. You really, really, really suck. Just pretend you're a major leaguer for once." And no, Lou, Reed Johnson has only been good against LHPs. When you hit him against RHPs, he turns into a lesser version of Neifi Perez.
-
YOU SUCK MARQUIS!
-
Len is making excuses for Edmonds. He's ours. :(
-
And that is why Khalil Greene is good outside of Petco.
-
I'm so glad we never gave that insane three year contract to Jason Marquis... ...wait a second...
-
How's the weather up on your high horse?

It makes financing for potential new owners a bit more of a hassle, but every potential bidder has already assessed the value of this team with and without Wrigley included in the price. This shouldn't change a whole lot unless some bidders out there were banking on the team being sold without Wrigley. If that's the case, those bidders will quietly drop out. Why would you think that? MLB wasn't going to let somebody borrow a billion dollars to get the Cubs. If anything, the lack of an unfriendly prearranged lease arrangement, and the flexibility that allows, would make financing a little easier. This is a moot point right now, given that Wrigley apparently still might be offered independently, but there are incredibly few people in the world who have enough cash on hand to buy the Cubs out of pocket. Even if you get a group of people together to pool cash, it is very difficult to get enough people together to basically write a check for hundreds of millions of dollars, if not a billion dollars. Rest assured, at the very least, some of the money used to buy the Cubs will be borrowed. With Wrigley in the fold, that's some more capital that has to be scrounged together. Guys like Cuban and Canning should be able to get it without much trouble, but it just means that lines of credit have to be expanded accordingly.
