No Deal

[Hank Scorpio]

Well unless Boras comes down 2 million dollars in the next 3 hours it's not going to happen.

Well... that's a different story, isn't it?

[The Wedge]

I blame Tejada.

[rolliefingers]

Well unless Boras comes down 2 million dollars in the next 3 hours it's not going to happen.

Again, raise it to 7.25 and I think it gets done.

[JJLinn29]

They can't be serious. They're going to ditch him because of 2 million dollars? Why is meeting halfway such a terrible idea?

Well unless Boras comes down 2 million dollars in the next 3 hours it's not going to happen.

Ah, well this makes me a little more optimistic. I think he will come down to our price.

[MChance]

Well... that's a different story, isn't it?

Boras really isn't known for going down though.

.... Uh.

[Belkast]

Its only 8:45, and one of the other so called inside guys said the deal was done 4 days ago, so i will take your word with a grain of salt.

Please do buddy. I know no one wanted to hear this type of news but that's just the way it is.

[The Wedge]

They can't be serious. They're going to ditch him because of 2 million dollars? Why is meeting halfway such a terrible idea?

Because they're obsessed with the idea of slotting, while Boras thinks slotting is retarded.

[Chollie Eckman]

I blame Tejada.

Classic.

[Lucky Jim]

Well unless Boras comes down 2 million dollars in the next 3 hours it's not going to happen.

See, this is what I mean...why are we even listening to sources?

On the one hand, we get the emphatic "X is going to happen". Then we get, three posts later, "unless...."

Why would anyone give up at this point? It's gotten silly.

[UMDTerrapins]

Wow! I'm actually surprised. I must retreat into my normal state of bitterness and distrust. Any word on why talks broke down?

[rolliefingers]

If Boras is down to 8.75, that means he's come down further than we have gone up.

[Chollie Eckman]

Wow! I'm actually surprised. I must retreat into my normal state of bitterness and distrust. Any word on why talks broke down?

Yeah, one word. Money.

[Lucky Jim]

Please do buddy. I know no one wanted to hear this type of news but that's just the way it is.

But it's not "the way it is." It's "unless...."

I mean, I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is.

[Belkast]

Well... that's a different story, isn't it?

Trust me the warehouse isn't very optismistic if at all. I think pissed off is probably the only way to describe the feelings in the warehouse right now.
