Although the MLB offices are denying this happening, I'm watching ABC News right now, and Scott Clark keeps saying it will go down in the next few days. So take it with a grain of salt, I suppose.
OK, if he <i>were</i> to actually sign with the Yanks... fuck, even I think that's overkill. :lol:
Besides, I would love to see him return to the Cubs, where he started his career. He is the perfect veteran fit on that squad of young guns, and could be the last piece they need to get them to the World Series (where they can lose to the Yankees, of course).
I felt that would have been a dream matchup last year (better than even Cubs/Red Sox). Yes, Chicago against Boston would've been the war to end all futility for one ballclub. But after that incredible ALCS, where the Yankees stopped the bid of the team with <u><b>3rd</b> longest drought</u><sup>*</sup> in championships, it would have been amazing to see them go up against the team with longest drought. Would they have been able to keep two (TWO!) proverbial curses intact? Or was one of these teams going to get off the snide after so long?
If Chicago had gone directly up against Boston, you know that one of them has to win (we think; you never know with these curses), so the drama is dampened somewhat.
*Bonus: We know that the Chicago Cubs have the longest drought, and I mentioned that the Red Sox have the <b>3rd</b> longest...
Does anyone know who is #2 on the list? And what year was the last time this team won? Cookie goes to whomever answers the question correctly first.
