I remember when the week after Thanksgiving was the deadline
for ol Bud to get involved.

He's been too worry making sure he is running the show forever.
No, seriously. Forever.

Asleep? Maybe.
But, This Time, It Counts
10-25-2011. Theo Epstein joins the Cubs. Now, the fun begins.
This saga is becoming more drawn out and dramatic than the “Twilight” series.
Like that’s hard.
Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.
Certainly shorter than
the Charlie’s Angels rerack.

Just make it a draft pick and be done with it.

Jerry Angelo trades for Jay Cutler! (4.2.2009)
Since draft picks can not be traded
Bud is not going to set a precedent.

The 6 lottery picks for worst teams/smallest markets can actually be traded now.
So who knows what is possible anymore. I do agree that it wont be a draft pick though – opening a can of worms.

So, in other words, it’s status quo.

Selig: That’s it! I’ve had it, I’m stepping in!
Boston and Chicago: Ok, so what is your decision?
Selig: GIVE ME A MINUTE!!!!
……….
Six months later…
Boston and Chicago: uh, Bud?
Selig: GIVE ME A MINUTE! GEEZ!!!!! GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY!!!!!

Bud "Who had a really good fielding percentage
for the Cubs in the minors?"
Ben “Do we also get a guy with good RBI numbers?”
Bud “Certainly. One of both.”

When Bud announces his decision
Expect it to be blacked out in Iowa, Missouri, southern Illinois and parts of Indiana and Wisconsin.

I wonder who you WOOD like it to be.

Can't we just return Theo?
Did you remember the receipt? Drop him off at a local Dunkin Donuts? We still have the Jed & Jason show. I’m sure they took copious notes during staff meetings.

Give them...
A case of Old Style, a decision ball, and a autographed Eddie Vedder t-shirt (Theo can get that pretty easy I suppose).

How about....
….that cool 1950s Cub bullpen coat someone had the FanShot about? Seems suited for Boston weather….

I feel bad for Bud
Lucchino has floated names like Garza, Castro, B. Jackson. The expectations have been set pretty high. One side of this issue is almost guaranteed to angry, perhaps both.
I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!
