    Theo was being nice.

    I'm sorry about the Zimmer comparison isn't at all suitable. The Cubs were a moribund franchise in the early 80's. They would struggle to draw 1.5 million. Zimmer didn't sell tickets, a winning team sold tickets. The excitement surrounding the 84 team sold tickets that season, and when it looked like they could get back to that level again they sold more. The Cubs sold 3.0 million last year with a losing team. The stakes have been raised. People are going to buy tickets because they are excited about the opportunity to see Epstein build a winner. Sandberg would only bring in incremental increases at best, and probably zero. This isn't a team that is struggling for attention. They need to put the best team on the field if they want to take the next step. Yeah, selling t-Shirts isn't exactly a real revenue stream.

    This argument in particular doesn't make any sense to me. As a fan, why wouldn't you want a manager who would bring in fan support and revenue streams that would allow your team's owner to field a huge payroll and aquire more premium talent? Oh, because of some deluded and largely self imagined sense of superiority over other fans? It's amazing to me how seemingly grown and rational adults still cling to "jocks vs. geeks vs. nerds vs. stoners" pre-teen junior high school tribalism. What sort of fan support do you really think Ryno is going to bring in? I'm guessing none. What kind of revenue streams can a manager create? I mean Ryno would bank being a spokesmen for products and [expletive], but a fan doesn't buy a ticket because of a manager.

    Until you start talking prostitues. Which should probably be legal. But I wouldn't use them. Not even in a pinch?

    I don't really think he hired him to be his cool friends. Don't know much about business do you?

    Never going to happen. At least not this year. Why would they let go of Maddon if he's under contract for another year?

    Who the hell is saying that? Whoever wants to see a bad team next is not a Cubs fan. Talk Cubs outside of a board like this, and you will run into tons of fans who think that the best course if action for 2012 is to place Vitters at 1b, LeMahieu at 3b and go with an outfield of Colvin/Jackson/Byrd (if you can't find a trading partner for Byrd). Because anything else is sacrificing the future for the present, or something blithering like that. Idiots. We aren't a small market team for god sakes. Pujols might be gone and Fielder is a goner. No reason not to think by making the right moves we can make a run at it.

    Never hurt Ozzie much.

    Right, but we aren't used to the obvious are we?

    Can this guy get any sexier?!?! Damn, he's awesome!
  12. C.C.
    I don't think Theo needs Ryno for cred, and I don't think he gives a [expletive]. He'll hire the best manager for the job. Or if he's eyeing someone for next year, he'll keep the current stiff for another year.
  13. C.C.
    Oh my god, the first call after that interview. If Theo was like sex to your ears, that "close up shop in the Dominican and focus on the good old USA" nonsense was the sex toy rape scene from Se7en. Or the rape scene in irreversible. What a stupid statement.
  14. C.C.
    Photoshop Theo over his face and we got ourselves a winner, no?
  15. C.C.
    Too boring. E.C.S.W.D.B.U. Epstein's Computer System For World Domination of the Baseball Universe. /threadclosed!
  16. C.C.
    Except for the flaw in your story that you couldn't reach that high to slap him.
  17. C.C.
    i'm sure cc can tell us all about sex to your ears, let us never speak of it again Yeah, I wasn't sure what to think about that one, so I just let sit there and fester for a while.
  18. C.C.
    I like Bartman better.
  19. C.C.
    Who cares? You know he's eventually going to be interviewed for the job, so what's the big deal?
  20. C.C.
    Do we even know what type of philosophy Sandberg has?
  21. C.C.
    I didn't see this. Sorry man. Just trying to understand what he was saying. Let's all get back on topic.

    Made of the same material as jeans and only slightly longer than regular shorts? Does that count? If the shins are exposed those are not big boy pants. Those are "urban" shorts. http://www.modthesims.info/d/299140 So it has nothing to do with ones weight? It's the length of the pants. What does it matter if Conky has big boy pants or not? Why would you care? It's a customary symbolic gesture of significance. Kind of like a bah-mitzvah. I'm not Jewish. Would Christmas work?

    What are big boy pants? not diapers and longer than shorts. Ah. So, it's basically the same as saying "grow some balls" or "get some stones" right?
