Cubs Fire Renteria, Hire Maddon

[itisallpartoftheplan]

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

 

Actually he said, "See You Tomorrow."

[Cubfanintheknow]

screaming dildo Dave Kaplan

 

Yesssss.

 

Is there some sort of macro that will automatically replace "kaplan" with "screaming dildo"?

[PrimeTime]

Maddon is on Sportscenter right now on ESPNews

World Series odds just went from 50/1 to 20/1 after the Maddon PC.

I could just see mojo cringing as he waxed poetic on Wrigley.

Nah. He just spent years at the one place that's actually worse.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

damnit, I missed it.

And Wrigley is in the process of getting a lot better, so he won't have to suffer with many of its shortcomings for long.

 

 

That presser was brilliant. That Maddon is intelligent, articulate and seemingly insightful is a welcome departure from recent managers. Not hearing a bunch of tired, predictable baseball tropes was really refreshing.

He was capable of walking too.

haha, I had forgotten about that

Kaplan has asked a version of "do you know what you've gotten into?" At least 3 times on Sports Talk Live. And Theo joked that was the question Kap always asks.

One second he sounds like the smartest baseball guy in the room and the next he sounds like a hyperactive, overtired 6-year-old.

 

It's pretty great.

[Vanilla Ice]

Is there a video online of the press conference?

Is there a video online of the press conference?

I would think Cubs.com or MLB.com would have it archived soon, if not already.

Maddon on the dress code: "If you think it makes you look hot-wear it."

Jesse Rogers has turned himself into the "temper expectations" guy and it annoys me. He just rattles off stuff like "You might be disappointed because they might not spend" what the actual [expletive] does that mean?

[Agony and Ivy]

And Wittenmeyer is a clown.

[Agony and Ivy]

Kap-Wittenmeyer-Rogers-Mooney might make my eyes bleed.
