I don't think anyone is surprised, but that's a big blow.

JennPex's mom said the Japanese television and interwebs have been focused on Tanaka to the Yankees for over a week. The other teams were listed as an afterthought in the reports and the Cubs were seldom if ever mentioned. I believe people over there who knew Tanaka personally understood that he wanted to pitch for the Yankees and that the negotiation process and courtship by other teams was a great big jerkoff.

Is she fluent in Japanese?

JennPex's mom is from Japan. Jenn speaks it but can't read/write it very well.

Thanks for reading.

As much as I love the fact that Jenn has better sources than David Kaplan, what I really want to know is why we're not hearing this insider information until now.  Come on buddy.

While I can't say it was enjoyable, I can say that I found the mini-tangent difficult to wank to.

I succeeded, but it was a stretch.

I didn't want to be a Debbie Downer so I just posted a picture of his wife instead.

Sucks if this is true.

[Quality Start Machine]

Sucks if this is true.

Which means Epstink just drove the price up to make sure the Yankees paid through the nose in luxury tax, while they still have a starting lineup almost as bad as the Cubs.

I'll sign off on that.

The fuck do the Cubs care about the Yankees luxury tax?

How is the yankees lineup at all as bad as the cubs?

Lacked the cash to finish it? Meaning they were not prepared to outbid the Yankees, who would not and could not be outbid? I don't see how this is really surprising.

Did any of you really think the Cubs were in the running here? Be honest.

Pretty certain that you haven't looked at the Astros' depth chart lately.

They'll be good before the Cubs are.

Now you're just being butthurt. Nobody can say when either team will be good.
