The Brain-Dead GMs Steel Cage Death Match

Astros GM Ed Wade is in Los Angeles talking to free agents Kaz Matsui and Randy Wolf. It seems that the Astros and Matsui aren't quite as close to a deal as Tracy Ringolsby and Richard Justice indicated last night, so maybe the Cubs could still steal him away.

Pizza Man vs. Dead Weight: A Battle of Idiots for the Ages. Who is going to be the first to say "I am a moron" and sign Matsui to HYOOOGE contract he doesn't deserve? I mean, the guy had a couple of good months playing in Colorado. Before dat he totally sucked with the Mets, who traded him to the Rockies for--are you ready for this?--Eli Marrero. Do Messrs. Henry and Wade not have access to, i dunno, baseball-reference.com? Am i the only who can find this on the internets? Well, if anyone in the World Series-free (since 1908) organizations spent 5 minutes to look at his stats they would find his gawdawful road numbers for 2006-07: .260/.293/.397 & .249/.304/.333. He's the same player he was with the Mets: not good and now older. Is there some kind of aspiring GM-school these guys go to and have their brains removed before embarking on their careers? The Cubs and Asstros would get similar (or better) production out of players they are already have (Chris Burke, The Riot &tc.). And why don't the Cubs just play Eric Patterson for crying out loud? The mind boggles with how idiotic these idiots truly are...

I thought the baseball talk would cease until at least January...

Wrong again. It's the Hot Stove League - this is when the mistakes are made which are reflected next season (see Cubs 1909-2007).

I still have faith that Brian Sabean will step in and save the day. BTW Pizzaman apparently now views Patterson as an outfielder. Moron.

C'mon Jimbo, you can do it!!
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry met with free agent Kazuo Matsui over lunch Tuesday, but the Chicago Sun-Times reports that "a deal does not appear imminent."
At one point Matsui looked likely to sign with the Astros, but the Cubs are making a strong push to steal him away. Chicago is believed to have offered Matsui a three-year contract.
