This deserves a bump.

[jacksonianmarch]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah, not a surprise. Congrats to you guys.

 

EDIT: Um. Is anywhere else reporting this?

[jacksonianmarch]

ESPN picked it up

[BSN07]

This isn't confirmed anywhere else. A bit premature guys.

 

 

 

All anyone else is saying is there meeting for the 3rd time in 3 days, and Cashman is trying to sell NY to CC's wife.

 

 

Don't blow your loads yet.

 

 

Albeit I admit, the chances are strong you get him. I would be surprised if he excepted anything without talking to SF 1st. But who knows.

[Cocos Disciples]

Don't blow your loads yet.

 

I saw CC Sabathia was going to the Yankees and I JIZZED. IN. MY. PANTS.

Great news, if it's true. :thumbsup:

Incredible reference.

[Gom]

It's true. It's on WFAN, ESPN, CNNSI...as long as he passes the physical it's done.

All I'm reading is is about Yanks visiting. Are you using some sort of "other" internet?

 

How about posting those links please?

Check the above post. There's no contract but there is an agreement.

 

EDIT: Contract is 6/140, my bad.

Ok finally a link that says something about him excepting NY's offer. But this article is still only going off Joel Shermans article.

 

The only reason I reserve judgement on if this is really going down is we saw about 100 stories just like this last year with Sanatana, and they where all BS.

[BSN07]

Ok Mike & Mike are talking about it now.

 

Congrats guys.

Turn on ESPN or ESPNEWS. Jeez...

[BSN07]

Turn on ESPN or ESPNEWS. Jeez...

 

I would if I had it, The Netherlands isn't to big on ESPN<_>

 

 

I am surprised he didn't wait to accept before talking to SF. They must not have ebeen able to put anything together worth while.

[Gom]

I did not know you were in Europe.

[BSN07]

I did not know you were in Europe.

 

My location saying Huizen, Netherlands didn't give it away?

 

 

 

 

C'mon Gom

[Gom]

I actually never looked.

[BSN07]

I actually never looked.

 

Take off those Yankees shades every once and awhile. You will be surprised what you see:thumbsup:

[BSN07]

CC vs Bos

 

2-4, 3.91 ERA, 35K-8BB, .260 BAA

[Paradisecity]

I really hope the Sox stay calm and stick to the plan.

 

If we waste money on Burnett I'm going to be pissed.

[Dutch_RSFan]

My location saying Huizen, Netherlands didn't give it away?

 

Holland,cool!That makes 2 of us!:thumbsup:

[BSN07]

They aren't signing Burnett. The only long term deal might be Lowe. But if he won't take three years he's not coming. The Sox have too much pitching coming threw to sign iffy guys to long term big money. They may be in on some players like Burnett to drive up the price for others.

 

CC is a good pitcher. but he doesn't trump Beckett. So it's not like we have to one up them for a SP.

 

I see the Sox signing Tex as a counter if anything.

 

I also think theres a very reasonable chance Penny will be in town on a 1 or 2 year deal. Unless someone goes grzy for him and offers 3+.

[BoSox21]

I hear Sabathia's first order of business in NY will be to get the exact address for Original Ray's, Famous Ray's, Original Famous Ray's and Famous Original Ray's

Goedemiddag,

 

waar woont u in Nederland?

[riverside sluggers]

Kind of took him awhile

 

Congrats Yankees fans on getting an actual ace for your team. Now lets see where Bunett and Lowe end up

 

CC vs Bos

 

2-4, 3.91 ERA, 35K-8BB, .260 BAA

 

Thats not including his playoff starts against Boston, right?

[BSN07]

Nope I believe those are reg. season stas. I got them from Mike and Mike, they had it up on the screen.

[riverside sluggers]

Per Mike and Mike, its 7 years/$160 million!

[BSN07]

Buster Olney reporting 7yrs/160M. Not 100% done. Has to pass physical. But there close to prelimanry agreement.

 

 

 

That's huge. And the Yanks want 250M in public funding for their stadium<_>
