HA! A guide for Theo to adjust from Boston to Chcago. Some of those comparisons are excellent. Well, the White Sox and Bozo ones are good... :) http://mlb.sbnation.com/2011/10/13/2485998/theo-epstein-boston-chicago-field-guide

I think it was that Boston Herald article this morning about how all the Red Sox players are bad human beings that was saying something about them complaining about too many night games on getaway day. Theo won't have that complaint to deal with here.
-
He's absolutely right. Or at least he is about half the time. When the wind is blowing in, our high-powered HR guys do have a very hard time doing anything. Of course, if we didn't have those guys at all, we'd lose every game where the wind is blowing out at Wrigley. For the Cubs, the right answer is probably a mix. Other teams might be able to get away building their team more towards one side of the spectrum or the other. So the answer is to get good hitters. Yeah, it's funny how other teams don't have a hard time hitting/winning at Wrigley.

Why? We certainly haven't missed out on anyone by waiting, and to the best of my knowledge Quade hasn't either. Just feels like we're letting him twist in the wind a bit. But I guess if Offman is right, there might be a reason for Quade still being around.
-
I've never watched much MLB network since the Cubs have pretty much sucked since it started. Guess I'm gonna have to check that out.
-
Ricketts should've just gone ahead and fired Quade already.
-
Ugh, no. How about Theo beating down a collection of all the horrible "cubbie occurrences" in their entirety? I'm tired of the goat, and bartman, and black cats and all that [expletive].
-
OMC needs to make a gif of Theo beating down Hendry or something.
-
She's coming back strong!
-
Yes it's wrong. Get excited, dammit!

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1190632/1/index.htm Really cool article, but the bits about how stable the Red Sox are seem a bit foolish in retrospect.
-
It's gonna be fun to like baseball again.
-
My guess (cuz it is unclear from what Olney said) is that Theo would've been due $3.5mil bonus at the end of his contract. Leaving early, he wouldn't get that, and as part of the deal, the Cubs agreed to pay that bonus.
-
Good stuff, thanks Laura.
-
Too bad Robin Ventura is already taken!

Hi, I think Theo has brightened everyone's mood too much....so I give you this... Peppers has a sprained MCL in his left knee. He has not been ruled out for Sunday though. -
=D>
-
From this day forward, every time Steve Rosenbloom refers to "The Fanboy owner", he should be punched directly in the nose.
-
Tweet him back and ask when GM and President were added to Guillens job description.
-
Same stuff from tweets, but still.... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/baseball/mlb/10/11/theo.epstein.chicago.cubs/index.html#ixzz1aZqGcJJP

We'll manage.
-
It's insane that this is the proudest I've been to be able to say I'm a Cubs fan since probably 2008.
-
This is also my thought. It'll be a Crawford/Lackey tax.
-
Come on man, it was a wild story from "some guy in a purple shirt". Twitter is having a lot of fun with the 99.9% sure thing though. You're a semi-internet celebrity. Grats!
