Would you guys be willing to give up slightly more value than we otherwise would to allow him to bring over a handful of guys he might need?

 

Gonna be one hell of an undertaking to build an entire staff that fits his standards from scratch with nobody from Boston.

 

well, we got byrnes as assistant GM or whatever. we've never had a real front office like the red sox have so i'd have no idea how many people we'd need.

 

it feels like we just had hendry in a single room watching games on a standard def tv with rabbit ears, coughing unhealthily and surrounded by mcdonalds wrappers with maybe an Apple IIe in the corner with the screen smashed.

 

where's the karma button?

awesome.

 

from the sound of it, we're going to have to build a crapload of new offices. why weren't there any offices for the front office of a team that spends as much as we do? the more i hear about the situation, the more i understand just how terrible things were.

Anyone hear that guy from Boston on CTL tell everyone how Theo sucks. Ha!

 

Also Carmine can't come to Chicago, the Cubs have to make up their own program with Theo.

 

Theo commissioned Carmine. I'm pretty sure he can get a fresh one made.

SkyNet, please

 

Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking. The triangle building can house the mainframe. The whole building.

Carmine was only successful because it found a way to take intangibles into consideration. It's the Johnny 5 of baseball robots. Good luck!

You read the story about the Cubs still charting minor league pitchers on pen-and-paper, and then you read the story about Epstein's massive database programs. It's going to be night and day.

The sequel involved Johnny 5 moving to a new city and making everything there awesome. So I guess we are getting Carmine?

Even in dead of night, Wrigleyville will be alive with the gentle, comforting hum of the TheoNet analytic array.

What guy from Boston?

 

Ummmm can't remember. I'll see if they say hs name again at the end of the show. He was just a reporter from a Boston news station though. He just trashed all of Theo pick-ups, but called him a good guy.

I didn't know where to put this, Kieth Law is a dick on the radio too. What an arrogant prick.

So you change your argument from building a new Carmine to Carmine being included in the deal?! I don't have time to go around in circles with your [expletive]. I need to go hit my kids.

we'll have to have some room for the genetic engineering department and a small nursery

For clarification, He will be referred to as Theo and not Epstein. We never called Hendry, Jim. The name is definitely "Welcome Back Kotterish"

 

Thanks, I was getting really confused.

If we do that, I hope we can replace Quade with this guy. I think he'd be a good skipper.
