Rosenthal reporting that Cubs are pursuing Pujols and Prince. Ugh, I don't want to root against either

 

With the Cubs front office finally knowing what the hell they're doing, I actually don't have any displeasure when seeing the Cubs make a good move.

 

But then again, I've been physically away from stupid Cubs fans for a while now and my mind may change when I encounter some stupid ones again.

Hello Mrs. DeJesus

 

Holy good god. That lucky son of a b****.

My prediction is that he'll be better than Fukudome, for much less money.

 

That's a pretty big limb you are going out on...

50% of the statement is guaranteed to be true, even if he has a Dunn-like season

Well it seems like some people think this is a bad signing that could hurt the club. I don't see how when you compare it what they had in Fukudome last year.

Holy good god. That lucky son of a b****.

 

and thats a post baby body too. Smokin

#cubs are trying to interest #orioles in Alfonso Soriano as a LF/DH option. Strict salary dump, w/#cubs paying bulk of $54m he's owed.

Sources: #Cubs' interest in Fielder is on shorter deal, not eight or nine years. Would pay high dollars in exchange for shorter term. #MLB

Carlos pena has decided he will NOT accept arbitration. #cubs

I thought that already happened?

cowley on WSCR was saying that if Florida gets Pulojs the cubs may eat all of Zambrano's salary to get Gabby Sanchez

 

He went on to tell us that Big Z to Ozzie will most likely happen with cubs eating most of the salary........

 

What are the cubs going to run out there every 5th day.

 

Eating contracts work but you still need to field a team.

I know it was pointed out in another thread how bad Phil Rogers was on baseball, but I guess I never really paid attention. Then I just saw this, his "grand slam of lobby theories"

 

Red Sox sign Pujols, and then trade Adrian Gonazlez PLUS prospects Will Middlebrooks and Micahel Bowden AND other young pitchers to the Cubs for Garza and Marmol.

 

 

wow..is about all I can say to that

 

Marmol and Garza do not get you Adrian

Marmol doesnt get you much at all.

Garbage for garbage. I don't know what the Cubs see in Stewart. He's been absolutely horrible. At least Colvin had one decent year.

#NBA has just voided the Cubs/Rockies trade. Stern: "Underachievers exchanged for each other is just too sad to be allowed."

They see they needed a 3b and better option than what they had in their system or what they are willing to pay on the market.

Heard on B&B that the Cub has posted for Yu Darvish.

#Dave McKay's move to #cubs was prompted by StL GM Mozeliak reassigning him post TLR. Cold move by #cardinals to add AAA mgr to TeamMatheny.
