I think Dave needs to lock this topic up, so nobody's tempted to
talk about it anymore. : )

The Cubs were dealing with a guy that had every right to choose
what was best for him. The Cubs management was quite inovative
in working out a solution acceptable to both parties.

You're talking about Estes again, right?

Once he lets go of the ball, he has no control over what
happens.

Dempster this off season? We are in the middle of a rebuild and
he is not young and is going to command at least a 3 year deal

dealt) but I see no chance Dempster is even considered.

If he were to come back on a favorable contract, I think it
would make a lot sense to bring Dempster back. I think even in
"ripping off the scab," Theo and Jed would like for the Cubs to
win some games and have an effective and well respected veteran
to lead the pitching staff.
I am pretty sure that people who work for the Cubs (players,
coaches, manager, execs) as well as people who pay to see the
games probably value winning games more than fans whose
participation is primarily through the internet or TV. The
latter can tune out the team if it stinks, for the most part,
and simply focus their own attention much more on the future.

Dave if you really think there is a chance he is going to give
us a home town discount after this fiasco then you might need to
take a break. He is going to sign for the most money he can
this is probably going to be his last contract, definately his
last chance to truely cash in. His loyalty has been great that
I'm sure that discount is coming.
Won't ever find out because I have no doubt that after the Brave
mess Theo has zero interest in bringing him back anyway. Thank
God we have Theo.

JR- actually i have had no problems with Barney, ever since he's
hit the majors. I just was LMMFAO because it was suggested to
bring up a different subject.

I was originally kidding, but now I see jacey merely says he
"has no problems" with Barney instead of saying that he loves
him, worships the ground he walks on, and that he's the best
second baseman in baseball.
Still sounds like a Barney Hater.
