Teixeira watch part IX....The final stages?

[WildDave]

So, how many of us are gonna get our arse kicked on Christmas DAY because we are constantly checking the Hangout instead of spending time with the family?

(Dip sheepishly raises his hand)

I already missed a huge portion of the first night of Chanukah last night.

Put me in the group that thinks he will sign before Christmas. With the Red Sox.. (boo)

I'm not so sure that Tex would do any negotiating, etc. on Christmas day... he seems like the type of guy that would want to spend time with his wife and family instead, but we'll see

[OsandRavens787]

Gee, after we sign Tex, will we move on to Looper Watch threads I thru IX?

I won't have ANY part of that

Here goes this guy again...

Early I tried to post a link to a blog called

"Tex + Nats = World Series" which is obviously a very misguided sentiment. However, I thought you might enjoy some jollies so here a working link

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2008/12/teixeira_nats_world_series.html

Here's a good quote:

"If that happens it's going to be a dream come true," Ballester said during his monthly satellite radio appearance, "Deep Thoughts with Collin Balester," on Minors & Majors with Grant Paulsen. "That guy is a great player, and if he comes to the nation's capital, watch out, we're going to the World Series and we are winning it all. I'm calling it right now. We're playing four games in the World Series, sweep, see ya!"

...which is more proof that when it comes to baseball, Washingtonians don't have a freakin' clue!

Hey speaking of Looper, and I know this technically belongs in another thread from a few days back, but I ran into him at a bar in San Diego one night. Pretty distinctive looking guy, I think he might have been with David Eckstein.

This is mostly about the rumor that Manny and the Yanks are very, very clsoe to a deal. It mentions Tex. I thought I'd pass it along.

[paulcoates]

You know, in the past the Orioles would screw this up.

I hope they have a few contracts all ready to present to Tex.

Andy doesnt move that fast

That guy should be arrested. He wouldnt last a second over here with that nonsense.

[RHall31]

Wow, that's a terrible misinformed article.

It has been confirmed today that the BoSox offer is still on the table. Also, I think Cafardo said Henry statement was meant as "We are not going to be a factor [in driving up the price]."

:rolleyestf:

Everyone is saying the opposite. 99% likely he signs before Christmas, if you ask me.

I agree. Today or tommorrow it happens. Last week "Tex was nearing a decision, Meeting with Boston, etc.,". It seemed Tex was about to sign.

Then Boston and the Angels allude or state they are out and the media

starts reporting nothing is imminent.

So by using the 180 degree espn rule, if they are reporting nothing is

happening, the exact opposite must be true.

Tex signs today or tommorrow!!!!

If Manny goes to NY than you can mail it in and declare Tex a Red Sox.

[Dipper9]

I won't have ANY part of that

Lost clip of the Tex and Boras negotiations...

He's either a persistent jerk or an adamant insider...

God help all of them over there if there's an announcement today.
