It wont become official until Wednesday..According to Chicago Tribune and ESPN sports radio its a done deal.

6. I love Lou
Watched him back when I followed the Mariners a lot, and I'm really excited for this move. Hopefully there will be some epic tantrums. One thing is for sure: he brings some passion to the game. My only concern is how he'll handle the younger Cubbies.

Already hearing rumors that he wants A-Rod to come over.

7. Good!
Now we can trade A-Rod to the Cubs for Zambrano and Ramierez.

8. Good for the Cubs. The Sox have won the WS, the Pale Hose have won...
the WS, NOW it's the Cubs' turn!

Go Lou!
