The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

Booo

Conversely, the Cubs' interest in Sheets is overblown. GM Jim Hendry's biggest objectives are finding a late-inning reliever and a bat for the bench. The Cubs are set with Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, Ryan Dempster and Randy Wells in the first four spots, with Carlos Silva, Tom Gorzelanny and Jeff Samardzija set to compete for the fifth spot. Sheets would look great in Cubbie blue, but he's more of an extravagance than a necessity.

And fuck him for saying "Cubbie blue"

Holy crap.

Marshall isn't even an option for the 5th spot?

On the other hand, Jerry Crasnick wrote that, so consider the source.

Hendry traded him for Brian Roberts. Or maybe it was Adam Dunn, I forget.

This move might not suck.

Hmmm... I even went through the main page at the Sun-Times and then to the Jonny Gomes article (I assumed that's what it was) and it gave me the same thing... But regardless:



At least I didn't shave a mohawk into my head.

[Internet Apex]

So the Cubs signed Jon Gomes? Yes? No? Maybe?

[CBStew]

He looks like a class act.  Gotta give him that.

[Quality Start Machine]

Isn't he fairly poor with the glove?

That's what makes him a perfect fit for this outfield.

I love the cut of his jib (and his haircut).

Damn it, New York Times.

"There is an illness about being a Cubs fan," said Jim Greanias, a Greek Orthodox priest who was invited by the Cubs to try to exorcise the team's storied curses before the start of the National League division series in 2008. "In October, you think 'I'm done with them, forget about it.' Then all of the sudden, it comes back at you, starting with the Cubs Convention, you start getting that warm, fuzzy glow and think, well, maybe this year, they'll do it."

Is this better, worse, or the same as quoting Pollyellon as the media's singular VOICE OF THE CUBS FAN?

Oh, and FYC(rane).

[Slaky]

Disappointment, it be imminent.
