The FYC, Baseball is Fun, Cubs will win at least 90 Games Thread

[Oleg]

Not too shabby.

[CBStew]

Not too shabby.

Meh.  10 and 3 and a 2.83 in 2006, his rookie year, and since then his only winning season was 13 and 12.

[PenPho]

Not too shabby.

Sounds like the deal is still not finalized and the Tigers are still in play.  

How am I supposed to be accept them sucking this year if they're going to sign one of the top Free Agent pitchers?  

Epstink is confusing.

But, ultimately he's a real solid pitcher and if they're looking at future free agent markets and thinking that this is a good deal based on what's upcoming, then hell yeah.

So... is Chuck revising his projections upward?

[R-V]

Meh.

No.

welcoming him to The Chi.

NO.

[Saul Goodman]

Annabelle Sanchez is the Cubs' John Lackey, you guys. Epstink just can't help himself. What's happening to my Kubbiez?!

[PenPho]

Meh.

No.

welcoming him to The Chi.

NO.

Back when you were alive you had a better sense of humor.

RYAN FREEL WAS A BALLPLAYER, MAN.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

They also need to prepare themselves for the reality that Bob Nightengale is always wrong.

[R-V]

Sorry Pen. All these swirling Auntie Ball rumors are scrambling my braingleberries.

Unlike Josh Hamilton, Anibal Sanchez is giving his old team the last shot at his services. After being offered a reported $75 million over five years by the Cubs, Sanchez gave the Tigers one more chance to match the offer, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman reports.

Detroit had been offering a four-year deal to Sanchez, but in reaction to the offer from the Cubs, the team will likely have to offer five years in order to keep him.

Sanchez is gonna look great in the Cubs rotation alongside Haren and Delgado. Now they just have to get to work replacing Starlin at short.

Gotta give the credit to @bnightengale for breaking the news that the Cubs have agreed to terms with Anibal Sanchez for 5/75

Sounds to me like he's going back to Detroit.

I don't know who keeps trying to make the Cubs front office look retarded but they're doing a great job.

This is just like the Josh Hamilton situation, if Josh Hamilton was trying to get his pennant-winning club to match the offer from a 100-loss team.
