Jack – I’m not kidding, drop it… ok?  Just don’t bring this up anymore.  I don’t want to hear Wyatt‘s name.  And DO NOT bring him up around Robbie, you know he’s Giesey’s boy.

Marty-

Gotcha – I just thought it was bizarre.  I mean, why would you pick now to bring up Wyatt?  I know there were some people around here that had it in for him, but I haven’t heard that guy’s name in a few years.  Did something really happen with him?

Jack – Thanks for the note.  Weekend was good.  I think the consensus up here is that Sánchez just wants too much.  I’m not worried about it – we can replace him for a hell of a lot less than he’s looking for.  Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll fleece Fargo out of some cash.

I had a chance to see the article on Wyatt.  You know how things go around here, though – I wouldn’t dig too much, ok?

Marty-

Hope you had a good weekend – you catch that front page article in the Tribune on Sunday about Wyatt?  Who does this Jezebel guy think he is? And I wonder who his “sources” are… sounds like a crock to me.  A box full of decapitated gnats – really?  Is that the best they can come up with nowadays!?  You’ve been around here longer than any of us; what is the real story with Wyatt – I heard he was a strange bird?

On more important matters, I was running the numbers and it just doesn’t look like it’s going to make sense to bring Sánchez back.  His agent is demanding something north of three million and I don’t see how we can justify it given that he’s only appeared in a handful of games thus far this season.  Let me know what you guys are thinking on this.  Thanks.

-Jack
