[davell]

That was great. Not much else to say.

Maddon ends the press conference by buying a shot and a beer for all the reporters there. Your move, Paul Molitor.

kaplan says that they're having sportstalk live from the cubby bear tonight and theo and maddon will be on.

“I have a life outside of baseball (insert any job)… being the first to arrive and the last to leave doesn’t impress me."

 

You know how many employees in this day and age would love to hear this from their boss/employer?

Have a feeling I'd be really disappointed with that show since the Kaplan to Maddon/Theo ratio will be too lopsided.

I'm sure the drinks will be flowing at the Cubby Bear 3 hours from now until they're on...This should be real entertaining.

[Vinestal]

God I love Maddon, I couldn't be more happy that this guy is managing our team. Pre-game interviews are going to be so much fun. I could listen to him talk for hours.

I'd take the other end of that bet.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, I bet he cries a lot

this thing CSN is showing now about the high school basketball player with a brain tumor is so depressing it negated all my previous good vibes

Did Theo say "See you next week when we introduce Lester & Scherzer."?

They'd been talking about it for a week on CSN, and I nope'd big time.

it was very sad anyway, but that part where she started crying while talking about how they told her it had grown and there was nothing they could do was traumatizing.

screaming dildo Dave Kaplan

 

Yesssss.

[ConstableRabbit]

[expletive] you kaplan

Oh this is gonna be good... what'd he ask? Accountability for Castro?

 

He basically asked how Dusty and Lou (who he presumably thinks are on the same level as Maddon) couldn't get it done and why Maddon was gonna be different and topped it off with "do you know what the hell you've gotten yourself into?"

Hahaha what did Maddon say?

"Why would you not want want to accept that challenge? In this city? With this ballpark? With these players?"

Outstanding. Thank you.
