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].
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.
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.
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.
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!
Not only that, but then the Red Sox would have to keep it secret for another week too. Seems pretty unlikely, but then so did a lot of things about this whole scenario.
