I am thinking that the White Sox may have an agreement with Dye for a few million if he does not find work elsewhere to his liking not sure why it just feels that way.

 

As long as Dye doesn't play the field, I'm perfectly fine with getting him back to DH. I'd rather have him than Kotsay or Vizquel.

I was IM'ing a friend this morning who's a Cub fan and I came up with my prediction for Alfonso Soriano's 2010 season, as told by Lou Piniella:

(feel free to add your own Foghorn Leghorn-style stuttering)

 

"Fonzie's finally healthy and we predict good things out of him this year"........

"well, Fonzie tweaked his hammy, we don't think it's anything serious".......

"we're hoping Fonzie can do light workouts pretty soon - we like the job Sammy Fuld has done for us filling in for Soriano, but we're looking forward to Fonzie coming back and doing what he does".......

"it's been a slow process for Fonzie, he's battling, but the leg is still a problem for him".......

"we're gonna shut Fonzie down, now that we're eliminated - let's get him healthy, let him do his winter routine and he'll be back at it strong in 2011!"

The Cubs should have looked into getting an actual 2b and some serviceable innings eaters to replace Harden and Lilly (for the moment), instead, i'll just sit back and enjoy the inevitable debacle that's sure to follow.

although Cubs fans are under the impression that Ricketts is just going to have an open checkbook the Cubs could basically only add money that they got rid of, especially considering they had a bunch of guys who got raises through arb or avoiding arb.

I like how savy their PR team is for the Cubs though. How is it that EVERY season a certain number of players are in the "best shape of their careers". Its hilarious. You mean Zambrano wont be a complete headcase on the mound because he lost some weight?

Cubs fans must be thrilled that they got rid of their "corporate" owner and now have a family of Cubs fans running the show. They already sold tickets straight to ticket brokers and now they are actually scalping their own tickets straight up. A great message from the Ricketts: If you are a rich Cubs fan, we want to make sure you have the chance to buy tickets before all the other common folk. :lolhitting

I decided to do the 20% presale on one "bronze level" game, just because I always try to go to each park at least once each season. I got infield terrace reserved seats for basically the same price as they'd cost for a "silver level" game, so I'm okay with it. Take a vacation day in the middle of May for a ballgame with my wife and daughter? That'll work.
