if no one else can do it, I may have to do the old record with my cell phone the Kaplan and Holly interview with Theo last night. I mentioned it in the game thread but Holly made a slight mention to next year and you can see Theo roll his eyes and be like really? and then when Holly is done talking Theo (jokingly) goes into him for talking about 2017 at a time like this and drops a "bruh", Theo is also in the pouring rain the whole time.

Even being generous and including the playoffs, he is 9 games under .500 for the Cubs with two good seasons against three bad. Is that really worth a love thread?

 

If that hadn't just happened last night, right now I'd be wishing that you got hit by a bus today.

I think that thing they accomplished......Might be a pretty big deal.

 

And I THINK, there's a relatively solid shot they'll be better than 9 over next year. And for the foreseeable future.

 

But mainly, they did that cool thing.

 

Respect though. Solid effort for this early in the morning in a situation you're happy as hell.

I'm thinking about writing in Theo on Tuesday, for all offices

Yes, I was thinking about the stunning election news next week when Hillary shockingly fails to clear 270 as Illinois goes to Epstein

I can't believe how according to plan this whole franchise has gone since 2012. They acquired a bunch of great talent, almost all of it were hits, they made a perennial playoff winner, and then just won it in their second spin of the wheel.

 

Theo and Jed are just flipping birds at the baseball gods and the odds combined. They beat it.

By now, everybody in the country and beyond knows of the curse and the drought, all that came in between. But perhaps the more improbable story is the train wreck of an organazition that this front office walked into when they took over vs. what they parlayed it into in just 4 short years. And that's something that's difficult for a lot of fans to not only appreciate, but comprehend, whether they've been waiting 2 months or 108 years for this.

WSCR is playing Theo's Plan right now from 5 years ago. You should check it out Kyle, let us know if it's worth it? :yahoo:

 

 

In all seriousness, it's pretty awesome to re-listen to this and look back and just see what [expletive] motherfu%%^ Theo was and is.

 

I mean literally everything he outlined in his introduction speech, came true. Every single thing.

I got a little Kyle-ish in my dislike of how things were going in late 2013 and especially in 2014 and I won't say I regret it per se but I thank Theo for sticking it out and having an idea of what was coming very soon. He's my favorite person in a while.

didn't know which thread to post this in so i did two.

 

Jed Hoyer's second tweet since 2009 (likely Theo horsefeathering around).

The man's a legend. Do front office executives make it into the Hall of Fame? I don't know, but Theo should.

They do, and he will, without doubt.

 

We've come a long way since the days in 2012 and 2013 when people were crying about the process.
