I wonder if him and our Soto would have hung out and got high and got into wacky adventures like Cheech and Chong

It would be like Franklin and Bash.

Soto and Soto.
Two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants baseball players cause a seismic culture clash when they join a legendary, button-down franchise.

This summer on TBS Soto & Soto put the balls back in baseball.

Soto #1: Are you trying to smoke the ivy?
Soto #2: I added some special seeds to the mix this year...
Somewhat attractive girl walks by and they both look at her over top of their sunglasses....
Both in unison: Ohhhhh Yeahhhhhh

Also starring Don Knotts as befuddled owner Tom Ricketts and sloth from Goonies as Quade....Thursdays at 7pm on TBS are about to be off the hook

Awesome job Jim.

Eh whatever. Was anybody really going to give a kings ransom for Fuk?

Has Aram reconsidered? He apparently responded to a question about whether he would waive his NTC before the deadline and his response was reportedly "We'll see". That is a hell of a lot better sounding than No.

This is the quote from Levine's story

Quote:
“Nobody has come forward from the team, [and said] ‘We want to trade you,”’ Ramirez told Levine. “That’s only in the media. [GM] Jim [Hendry] hasn’t said anything about trading me. Or what’s the other guy, [team president Crane] Kenney? Nobody has asked me to waive my no-trade clause. Hey, nobody wants me. They want good players. If they come to me with a trade, we’ll see. But nobody has talked to me about it.”

“That’s not a secret, everybody knows [I want to stay]. But if they’re looking to rebuild, I can’t fit in, so we’ll see.”


Crane Kenney is allowed to speak with players? I thought he was just stuffed in an office or under Hendry's desk.

At least two beat writers predicted he would change his mind as the deadline was closer. I just don't know what I want to happen here. If, and I say if because I don't think MLB can answer my question about draft pick compensation for Aramis. If they can get two sandwich picks next year with the buyout, I don't know if I want Hendry getting "prospects" back.

I do know this much. If Aramis is in the starting lineup tomorrow, he's definitely getting traded tomorrow.

I don't think you can buy a guy out, and offer him arbitration at the same time.

I am loving these Aram to the Angels rumors. Hendry better do some fucking homework on their prospects though. I would take Bourjous back as one of the players and he is on the block with Trout, Wells and Hunter holding down the OF. Throw in AA 3b Jiminez or AA pitcher Shoemaker and we have a deal!!

Has anyone actually seen the comments from all parties regarding Aram being traded. He is comfortable staying but would at least entertain a trade. Hendry apparently asked him what he wanted to do weeks ago and he said he is good with staying. Hendry has apparently left it at that out of "respect" for him. Are you fucking me? Jesus fucking christ Hendry....go talk to some teams and come to him with a proposition. He will probably go just to get the fuck away from your idiot manager.

A Ram has been one of the top hitters in MLB and I respect his desire to remain a Cub. Q and I will get this ship righted. Keep the faith!

Hendry is a big, fat, boob with no vision. I go back to the paraphrased quote circa 2005; "If I trade Ramirez who will play third for us next year". I'm sure he went on to say something like; "How does trading away our good players make us any better?"

I despise that fat fuck.

I am astounded at the arrogance he displays knowing very well that the team he built is a giant pile of shit.

You seem to be forgetting about those three Divison titles he won on his own. The Fat Fuck.

More Hendry Hilarity!

Quote:
‘‘You can’t rebuild in a big market,’’ he said. ‘‘When you get 40,000 every day in the stands, you can’t try and rebuild. You’ve got to put a winning product on the field. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. But you can’t just get rid of everybody and try to rebuild in a market like this.’’


Wow. You're gonna lose 100 this year. Why is a rebuilding worse than that? Asshole.

So the 40k that ARE NOT at the games is the reason the Cubs can't rebuild. Will someone put Hendry out of our misery.

I read this in the Daily Herald and actually became angry. He is using the pirates as an example??? Those fuckers have been baseball dead since 1992! This fucker has to GO! Why can't Ricketts pull the trigger?


Hendry on the Cubs in 2012:

“When somebody says ‘blow the place up and start over and do it right,’ OK, does that mean we should get rid of the people that are real young and real good? Pittsburgh, weren’t they 20 games under (.500) a year ago and now in contention? And Cleveland?”

Hendry noted that “for the first time in a few years, there are significant dollars coming off the books.”

“All you need is for your young people to keep getting better and you make the right moves with the money that will now be available, and why couldn’t you be right back in it?” he asked.

Several reports that teams have made runs at Byrd and Pena and were told they aren't being traded.

Fuck you, Hendry.

I am about as close as you can get to divorcing a team. I have followed this fucking team since I was 10 and I am just about done. The entire organization is a fucking joke.
