[Mike4235]

[Peabody]

[AstrosAnonymous]

They still have time, they can have an extra 5 to 15 minutes if they need it.

[DONtheGREAT23]

damn im anxious. i wanna know already

[Peabody]

They still have time, they can have an extra 5 to 15 minutes if they need it. You heard that on the ESPN *lol*

fine 12 minutes left?

[AstrosAnonymous]

So, Im watching, lol

[Mike4235]

I'm from Houston and am a big Astros fan, but if they dont get Beltran, I will not attend a game in Houston next year....

[Peabody]

According to ESPN Radio Beltran let the deadline pass!!!

[Arsenal]

Rofl, I doubt it will happen if it hasn't happened by now.

[AstrosAnonymous]

I thought I was the only stros fan here, now I dont feel different *gloomy*

espn says he let it go by

[Mike4235]

White Sox are my favorite team, Houston is second favorite...Cubs deserve to burn in hell...

[Arsenal]

woot.

[AstrosAnonymous]

F**ck, hes an idiot doing that.

[Peabody]

Cubs and Mets being their bidding war.

come on hendry!

[AstrosAnonymous]

Cubs havnt have a chance, he will be a Met, and he will regret it later. Dumbest mistake of his career.

[Penning10]

*pout pout* no Beltran in houston. I'm going to go cry.

Cubs don't have any money.

[DONtheGREAT23]

steinbrenner may jump in to prevent the mets from getting him, plus he could just decide to wake up monday and now want him

[AstrosAnonymous]

Yanks dont have a chance either, he hasnt got enough money.

[DONtheGREAT23]

thats not true. georgie has money comin out of his @ss. he could find the money if he wants beltran

[Arsenal]

Yanks dont have a chance either, he hasnt got enough money.
POtD....ROFL. George Steinbrenner not having money... *lol*

[AstrosAnonymous]

POtD....ROFL. George Steinbrenner not having money... *lol*
Hes spending liek 250 Million this year, even thats to much for his dumb ass.

[Penning10]

The Yanks payroll is already astronomical, and anything they pay to Beltran would be +40% because of the luxury tax. I don't think it's happening.

[Arsenal]

I thought it was only a bit over $200 million this year.

Heh, only.

[DONtheGREAT23]

guys come on, you know that if steinbrenner decides he wants him, money wont be a problem

[Mike4235]

Yankees will sign him for $3 billion....

[MiamiU083]

I hope Carlos Beltran signs with the New York Yankees.

[Arsenal]

Agreed. Steinbrenner definately didn't want Pedro unless the Sox were going to get him.

[Peabody]

Beltran a Met

per http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/2983265

[Arsenal]

NOOOOOO!!! It says Will, that means in the future....(it's probably right but I hate it.) This blows.

[DONtheGREAT23]

i wouldnt call it official yet. im not actually hoping that the yankees sign him, but i wouldnt mind seeing it.

[Arsenal]

Everywhere else says Cubs and Mets prepare to make pitches ( I love how they don't include Yankees)

[Peabody]

The Houston Chronicle article is PURE speculation, take it for a grain of sand.

[Arsenal]

Yeah, thought so.. I don't think he would sign that quickly.

[badbeanies]

There are also articles where Steinbrenner says I don't want him and he doesn't want to offer

[Arsenal]

Steinbrenner is laying low. I'll bet he makes at least some bid.

[DONtheGREAT23]

i dont rule anything out until there is a contract signed and reported by mlb.com, well, except for him returning to houston

[Arsenal]

I'm quite confident the D-Rays won't sign him. :P

[Mike4235]

He's not a Met, they are just the front runners for him.

[DONtheGREAT23]

I'm quite confident the D-Rays won't sign him. :P

i wouldnt be so sure. it could be the move they make to get some real publicity and respect from the rest of the league and bump them up from 4th to 3rd in the division. *lol* *lol*

[Booksman]

He's officially not going to be an Astro, according to the Astros' website.

He will most likely be a Met but nothing is final yet

Btw, Badbeanies, in your sig, you do know Doleac got cut from the Knicks don't you?

[Arsenal]

i wouldnt be so sure. it could be the move they make to get some real publicity and respect from the rest of the league and bump them up from 4th to 3rd in the division. *lol* *lol*
lol. He would be double the rest of their roster combined...maybe triple. Hell, his asking price may be quadruple !!!

[badbeanies]

I didn't. I would never have guessed he would be cut by the knicks if he was traded the ATL for Nazr Mohammed straight up. Then went on waivers and got picked up by the Nuggets then traded or became an FA and Miami gave him a nice offer.
