Cubs Pujols shirts

Good chance he goes to the Mets, I know the Mets are in a bit of a jam with Madoff, but they can bait Ike Davis for prospects or another proven player in return, not to mention they do have some cash coming off the books, Beltran, K-Rod (vesting option) and are only on the hook for $88 million for 2012. They play in New York with a huge amount of revenue, they have a very smart GM and front office I think they could be a factor in signing Albert in spite of re-signing Jose Reyes.

Jose Reyes, David Wright, Jason Bay, Albert Pujols, Mike Thole, Angel Pagan (yes, that Angel Pagan) is a pretty good cast.

I'm not saying he's going to be a Met guaranteed, I just wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Not sure you heard, but Mets are BROKE. Like, they MLB just paid them $25 million so they could pay players. This situation will get very nasty in the next several months, much uglier then it is now. Nobody is going to buy 25% of the team just to have a quarter of a say but pay off all Wilpon's debuts. Wilpon will fight it then by end of the year, will realize it's a lost battle and will then sell 100% of the team, to Donald Trump most likely, then that "sale" will take 6-9 months as Trump will need to look over the books and such. Jose Reyes will walk as a free agent.

Mets, or should i say Debts, are in major trouble.

Wasn't there a group headed by Martin Luther King III that wanted to buy them?

You JAG BAGS CAN SAY ALL YOU WANT I HAVE BEEN A TRUE BLUE CUBS FAN AND I HAVE BEEN MORE BLUE THEN ANYTHING ELSE CAUSE I WILL ADMIT IT IM NOT SCURRD LIKE YOU ALL WE FUCKING SUCK UNTIL WE GET A GOD DAM OWNER THAT KNOWS HOW TO PUT A FUCKING WINNING TEAM TOGETHER WE WILL BE ALWAYS LOSERS 2003 wasnt lost because of bartman that guy had nothing to do with it WE LOST THAT SERIES CAUSE OUR PLAYERS COULD NOT PUT THAT DUMB PLAY BEHIND THEM AND THEY COULD NOT SEAL THE DEAL. SO DONT TELL ME IM NOT A TRUE CUBS FAN I HAVE SAT THROUGH ALL OUR BAD SEASONS AND OUR ALMOST THERE SEASONS. AND ONE GUY LIKE ALBERT PUJOLS IS NOT GOING TO TURN THIS FUCKING TEAM AROUND WE NEED MORE GREAT FITTING PIECES TO THIS FUCKED UP PUZZLE.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

Now that that is taken care of: Yes. And no.

Yes, you have a point that the Cubs need to be a little more concerned with getting a winning team on the field. Pujols cannot do that single handily. Like Ivy has said, with the 30+ million Pujols will want, the Cubs can pick up a pitcher or two and a middle infielder, filling multiple gaps as opposed to just one, extremely over priced one.

But, anyone who flips out over the signing of arguably the best player in baseball and threatens to burn his Cubs stuff and become a Sox fan, well that's a little too extreme. The only players that you can freak out, burn your stuff, and become a Sox fan over are Kevin Gregg and Milton Bradley.

Oh, ****.
