Hoffpauir!

 

pop up video thing just said this series was the Cubs last 4 game sweep.

 

i'm guessing they meant at wrigley since they swept the nationals in a 4-game series in washington in july 2009. reason i know is that i saw 2 of those 4 games in person.

Theo was on the radio...mentioned they don't really have a #1/#2 type pitcher, and "now might be a good time to go get some".

What show?

 

Did he follow it with a bunch of qualifiers about how they're going to stay true to theirselves and not stray from their values and compromise the future or something like that?

Good catch by Bernstein:

 

It was a line you may have missed Monday, with the cameras on Joe Maddon.

As the new Cubs manager described his recruitment — a meeting outside his mobile home, parked at a Florida panhandle beach, Theo Epstein joked, “We’ll always have Pensacola.”

Epstein’s not much of a comedian, and it wasn’t particularly funny, but the reference was notable for another reason.

It was a nod to “We’ll always have Paris,” which Humphrey Bogart’s Rick Blaine says to Ingrid Bergman’s Ilsa Lund in “Casablanca,” part of the climactic scene before she boards the plane to Lisbon with her husband. The line was ranked No. 43 on the American Film Institute’s list of “100 Years…100 Movie Quotes,” joining four others from that script, the most of any one film.

The writers won the Academy Award that year for Best Screenplay. They were Philip and Julius Epstein, Theo’s grandfather and great-uncle.

It was on Mulley and Hanley. He was on just after 8:00. He said all that stuff, of course, and he was talking about not wanting to say things that would impact negotiating leverage too.

I knew his Grandfather helped write Casablanca, but when he said "We will always have Pensacola" I didn't get it while watching the press conference. Nice catch by Bernstein.

Kaplan is claiming on Twitter that Javy was still rocking the dreadlocks as of yesterday.

 

Being Jamaican I feel it is of the upmost importance to point out that those are absolutely not dreadlocks. Don't know what they are...braids, corn rows whatever, but dreadlocks...no, no, no.

 

Carry on.

Dreadlocks are not braided, they are matted. Rastafarians grow them because there is some obscure reference in the bible about cutting combing hair. I've also been told they take on the appearance of a lion. The lion is very important to them. I only know this stuff because I lived in Jamica for a few years and struck up an uneasy friendship with a few.

 

Rastas also don't believe in refrigeration of food.
