Obviously there weren't to many other offers out there.
Theo had to be thrilled to finally get rid of Soriano.
The guy was a complete bust, for the money we signed him for.
He averaged 27 HR's and 79 RBI's.
And made a TON of money.
I would have traded him for a box of Cracker Jack.....
Who else on the cubs averaged that? Plus, the cubs are paying 17 out of his remaining 24million.That's a ton of money. He had more value than what Theo got for him.
Pretty bad umping last night. If a pitch is a called strike 1 or 2, if it's in the same spot it should be strike 3.

Anyone else not surprised Soriano is playing out of his mind in NY? Typical Cubs luck. Would have been nice if he could have been clutch for the Cubs. He seemed to be the king of hitting a 3 run HR when we were either down big or up big, but in the late innings of close games he was horrible. Hopefully NY does not make the playoffs. This just cements what I already knew, I'll never like Soriano ever.

Soriano has been on fire the last couple days - 13 RBIs and 4 HRs. That's more than the entire Cubs team has put together over the past 4 games.
Even with how well he has been playing, I am still happy that the Cubs got rid of him.

Plus he is a blithering idiot that we are going to be paying $60 million to over his contract
Castro may now have the worst contract on the team - maybe even worse than Edwin Jackson's
Now that Soriano is gone it's easily Castro.

DeJesus has been traded to the Nats for a player to be named later. I guess trading him saves the Cubs $2.5 million
I honestly don't see what Theo is seeing. I don't see him building this team into a winner. I knew it would be a few years before we would see improvement, but damn, right now its looking like another few years. The best move he's made is bringing pearl jam to Wrigley. This is very frustrating.

It really is frustrating and it seems that it is going to be frustrating for years to come. :x :fp:
But, yes, the best thing Theo has done is bring PJ to Wrigley. Maybe if he does that every year...I'll learn to deal with this crap-ass team.

Rizzo has BIG money, and is hitting .230?
Castro has BIG money and is hitting .230?
Edwin "Janet" Jackson Has Big money, and has 15 losses.
Samargarine? Ive seen enough of his dumbass.

All those other kids at the school never stood a chance against you and your siblings.
I am admittedly, a little jealous, I do not have award winning eyes. :(
Just NOT Award winning eyes!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I know...they are NOT as pretty as yours Speedy!!
We can show off our eyes to those New Yorkers!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Shannon just mentioned it to me. I will try to get Brooklyn tix tomorrow.
Those New Yorkers won't know what to do with our pretty eyes!
I guess I wouldn't feel so bad if it was the Cubs who picked up the 6 million instead of the 17 million. That's some serious bullshit.
Picking up close to 75% of the guys salary just to get rid of him? :fp: :fp:

$60 mill to a guy who may hit .250 with 12 HR by the end of the year.
....oh and a terrible defensive short stop. :fp:

They're probably gonna suck too.

I had tickets to last night's game and bailed at the last minute. Missed more Cubs offense than we have seen all week and a complete game. :fp:
