Maybe it's Brian Sabean.

Most likely, Ricketts had an appointment in LA to finalize his
deal with Colletti and he took the opportunity to spend a few
days in SF and the wine country.

Jeez, that article is nearly a week old. I read it when it was
originally published and found it silly at the time.

Jeff wants to make sure that we understand his over-the-top
hatred is limited to Hendry, but rather applies to all things
Cub. Guess the franchise will need to be shut down altogether
before he is mollified.

Ron et al:
A blogger named John Arguello speculates that Ricketts has
already decided on Beane. And, you know, bloggers, like Popes
and Curt One, are infallable. So I'm sure it's a done deal.
Ahem.
Key section:
"There are rumors that the Cubs met with both Beane and Forst
while in SF-- and that Ricketts brought along Tim Wilken, Oneri
Fleita, and Ari Kaplan, three key front office execs that the
Cubs would like to keep.
The Cubs extended Oneri Fleita not too long after this meeting.
It could well just be coincidence ...but Ricketts has said that
he would allow the new GM to make these decisions and the fact
that he signed him to a 4 year deal makes you wonder if perhaps
Beane has signed off on it."

Don't recall claiming infallibility. Just passed on something I
saw elsewhere by a poster who has credibility on another board.
I'm really really really sorry I did it. I won't let it happen
again.

I thought Jeff's Colletti comment was pretty funny.

Curt One, just in general, I see you as the Pope of BBF.

Not only is Beane coming to the Cubs but another blogger insider
says that Beane will trade for Brian Roberts. Looking forward
to reading those Orioles blogs all Winter.

The second cousin of an Orioles' groundskeeper told a friend of
mine that Andy MacFail is coming back to the Cubs.
