Now kiss and make up.
To play devil's advocate...
Let's say that Gordon Beckham made a spectacular game saving play that resulted in a positive result for the White Sox. Is that not :fap: worthy? I would be excited if Darwin Barney made a spectacular game saving play in a largely lost season that resulted in a positive result, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone for doing the :fap: mechanic.
Similarly, since Theo has made a good move that has the great potential to have a positive impact on the Cubs future (via trade for specs), I think it's ok to get excited about it.
Rosenthal just tweeted Brett at Bleacher Nation's fear about the rumor. Marmol was asked by the Cubs if he waive his NTC to the Angels but no deal is complete. This might be a case of the twitterverse exploding over nothing.
Someone just said that Marmol went on the radio to talk about this trade. I don't know which station. I also was not aware Marmol had a NTC or any no-trade protection.
That's not good...Haren, however, has a limited no-trade clause to block trades to 12 teams, not sure which ones.
Part of it has to do with the fact that the Cubs are ridding themselves of an inconsistent, overpaid reliever, and part of it has to do with my statement that the money is pretty much going to even out. So if you can upgrade the rotation and the only thing you potentially get rid of is Marmol, it's an excellent trade. Yes, Haren can break, he could suck, yada yada yada, but at the time the trade (theoretically, if it happens) was made, this was well-executed and the powers-that-be deserve congratulations. Chill out :cubstroll2:
im chilled.
there are though some real dense fans and sometimes when they are all on I get frustrated. I will post my dense-o-meter here for further ref.

JNTG: 80% dense- Agitated
POODSKI: 100% dense- max agitation for me (see fukudome better than quentin) thank god he isnt posting here
Waldo: 10%
Dabs: 40%
Rubio: 5%

Too much :fap:ing in this thread, in one post by Dewey including what he quoted, that's 6 alone.
lol @ Waldo being considered more intelligent than dabynsky about baseball Someone else must be pretty dense too, but I won't give any names
