Re: New GM/Cubs Future News Articles

I'm not even sure if I fathom how this board will operate with leadership that the primary contingent on this board loves/is aligned with.

 

 

It's going to be very weird and different.

We'll grow to become arrogant, self-assured that our management can do no wrong, so anything that goes wrong will be completely on the players and other non-management factors, like other teams' luck.

 

In other words, we'll become SoSH.

 

And when he leaves for the Nationals we'll demand Strasburg and Harper as fair compensation

Year 4? No way. Six seasons and a movie, thanks.

Is the whole press conference online anywhere?

I have it on my DVR if that helps.

It does if your DVR is accessible online, publically.

I'm thought he was kidding. At the time, I wasn't. But when he posted on here, he said that he was wearing a purple Fanta shirt. When he went on air with Waddle and Silvy, he also mentioned that it was a Fanta shirt. I'm pretty sure (but I could be wrong) that in the original report, he didn't say anything about it being a Fanta shirt (just purple).

 

I kinda assumed he was revealing it jokingly. Regardless, real or not, I think his name should be highlighted in purple to signify its superior nature to everyone else's

 

He's superior because he happened to see and recognize Theo at a Starbucks and then email Sullivan about it?

 

The superiority thing was hyperbole... highlighting his screen name in purple was not. I think that'd be kinda awesome

"And I was so excited to be in Chicago and so surprised to be recognized that I dropped both lines on this guy without stopping to realize they don't really work well in concert with each other. My mistake, and actually, I'm a little bit more of a Dunkin' [Donuts] guy to begin with. Now that I know Dunkin' supports the Cubs, that's a good thing."

 

Dunkin Donuts sales in Chicago goes through the roof with this announcement. K-Cups by the thousands now being ordered to keep up with supply and demand.

4 years was too premature, had to edit for open ended-ness. Preferably, I hope Theo never leaves and stays here forever. And ever. and ever. and ever. and ever.

Aww...

 

 

Ricketts was smiling the whole time he was introducing Theo....although it may be his normal facial expression.

[bukie]

Aww...

 

Tom Ricketts in this picture represents the entire fanbase, at least on this board.

Pretty much. I was grinning like an idiot the whole time. Not even the sight/sound of Kaplan could wipe it off of my face.

I was thinking something more on the lines of "OMG, he is such a dreamboat. I can't believe he's all mine."

thanks for the heads up.

Theo on PTI:

 

from afar I saw they had a lot of talented players but didn't get the most out of that talent.

 

offensively they were aggressive, probably overly aggressive

 

in recent years defensive fundamentals were an issue.
