Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
You hiring Speedy???
And they traded Craig Monroe, and will not be resigning Trachsel (thank christ), Kendall or Cliff Floyd.
Also heard Dumpster will most likely be moved into the rotation with the closer being Wood/Howry/Marmol.
i feel i need to be a part of the 100 year anniversary of fucking FAILURE!~!!!

I'm already itching for Spring Training!!
I think the Blackhawks must feel somewhat jilted by missing your fuck them list!
The left-handed hitting Fukudome, who does not have to go through the posting process, could command a five-year, $60 million free-agent deal. No problem for the Cubs, who desperately need a left-handed presence to balance their right-handed slugging trio of Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. That's why signing one of the premier center fielders on the free-agent market – Andruw Jones, Aaron Rowand and Torii Hunter – is less attractive. They all bat right-handed.

Chicago GM Jim Hendry isn't tipping his hand on specifics. But it probably will come down to whether Prior agrees to include an option year on a one-year contract to prevent the Cubs from paying him to regain form in 2008 only to get leveraged against his free agency in 2009 the Sum-Times said.
Prior, whose best-case prognosis for a return to the mound is early in the 2008 season, is in his final winter of arbitration eligibility. He made $3.575 million last year, and because teams are not allowed to cut the salaries of controlled players by more than 20 percent, he cannot be paid less than $2.86 million by the Cubs, whether he reaches an arbitration hearing or not.

fuck him.....let him go....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I don't mind them resigning Wood. If he stays healthy....LOL!!!!..yeah, I know...
If he stays healthy I think he could be a monster as a reliever!
Prior should be let go IMO.
I can only imagine him going elsewhere, getting healthy and winning 20.
The Chicago Cubs have toyed with the idea of moving Alfonso Soriano out of the leadoff spot for 2008 the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
However, manager Lou Piniella said that won't happen unless the Cubs ''add a couple of speed players to the mix.''
Piniella also plans to help Soriano, 31, avoid the leg problems he had in 2007 by resting him more in '08 — whether he likes it or not.
----> Cubs still interested in deal with Fukudome
The Chicago Cubs, who still go into the season with uncertainty at second base, hope their failure to land Kaz Matsui won't hurt them in their bid to sign Japanese free agent outfielder Kosuke Fukudome.
Fukudome, a right fielder with a .397 career on-base percentage, is the higher priority for the Cubs, who hoped an agreement with Matsui might increase Fukudome's incentive for negotiating a deal with the Cubs.
they havent won a championship in 100 YEARS!!!!!
but a bleacher ticket is gonna cost me $50????..........
FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
At least this year they didn't lie, say they weren't going to raise prices, then jack them up anyways. Way too expensive to hit a bleacher game these days.
Yeah, it's getting insane...though I'm not surprised.
The deal is subject to a physical, according to a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. The agreement could be finalized as early as Wednesday.
Fukudome was considered one of the best outfielders in Japanese baseball. The 30-year-old slugger was a key member of the Japan team that won the inaugural World Baseball Classic in March 2006.
He had surgery on his right elbow in August and sat out the Japan Series, but has 192 homers and a .305 batting average over nine seasons with the Chunichi Dragons, who won their first championship in 53 years on Nov. 2.
After becoming a free agent, Fukudome drew interest from the Cubs, San Diego Padres and White Sox.
He is expected to play right field for the Cubs, who traded outfielder Jacque Jones to Detroit this offseason and declined their contract option on veteran Cliff Floyd.
All-Star slugger Alfonso Soriano returns in left and speedy prospect Felix Pie is expected to take over in center after shuttling between the majors and minors this season. The Cubs hope Fukudome will provide the consistent left-handed bat they seek to go with righties Soriano, Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee.
Chicago won the NL Central title last season before being swept by Arizona in the first round of the playoffs.
Fukudome was the 2006 Central League MVP, batting .351 with 31 homers and 104 RBIs. He recently told the Dragons he wouldn't return next season, saying he wanted to move to the major leagues.
these fuckheads havent won anything in 100 years....
and now our savior is named FUK-U-dome?????
i love it....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
Unable to trade the rehabbing Prior, general manager Jim Hendry opted to cut him loose rather than face another arbitration process that figured to result in a 2008 salary of about $3.4 million for a pitcher whose surgically repaired shoulder was a question mark for next season.
''It's time to turn the page,'' Prior's agent, John Boggs, said after receiving word from Hendry more than two hours ahead of the 11 p.m. tender deadline. ''And it's already a new horizon for Mark because he's coming off the first surgery of his career, and we anticipate he'll be a productive pitcher in '08.''
