Heyman is just guessing....
-
What did he say?
-
My worry about no news is that they're working on a Theo extension in Boston.
-
HA! Vinestal got a reply out of Heyman.
-
Hey...I made sure to mock both of them...
-
"Hmmm...how do I make a tweet giving my guess about what will happen without having to take a hit if I'm wrong? I know...I'll blame it on random 'People around the game" or a mythical 'consensus'."
-
Hahaha...nothing all day, and then two completely conflicting tweets.
-
Man I really wanted something to happen today....my afternoon at work is going so slow...

Robin Ventura = White Sox New Manager
Banedon replied to El Duderino's topic in General Baseball Talk
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/19/sports/la-sp-crowes-nest-20110620 Are the White Sox sending compensation? -
Ricketts said he had "100 percent confidence in Jim" on June 15 before firing him (secretly no less!) on July 22. Whether we like it or not, I don't think Ricketts always means what he says publicly. He feeds pablum to reporters in order to avoid public feuds while conducting his business behind closed doors. Those situations aren't comparable at all. Yeah, what would be the motivation for Ricketts to lie in this case?
-
What powers do you think he'll have as President that would be a problem? I think he fears that somebody else would be the guy performing GM duties. Oh, I gotcha. Yeah I don't think Ricketts is bringing in Theo to not make baseball decisions.
-

-
Yeah, I think he's saying he'd not be impressed with anyone that led the Cubs to a WS title because they have a high payroll.
-
Three teams that have won a WS more recently than the Cubs. The A's have the 3rd most WS wins of any team ever.
-
Think Theo just wants to report directly to the owner...no middleman.
-
I hope not. If we hire Theo, I want him being the GM. Period. He can be "President and GM" if that's what they want to call it. Or call him President and don't have a GM.
-
My guess is there would be a press conference scheduled by the Cubs for X time later in the day, and between the time of that announcement and the press conference, the news would leak. Pretty much how the Hendry firing conference day went down. Yeah...I'd imagine when a press conference gets announced, all of a sudden the reporters probably get pretty annoying to "sources".
-
But if it does, I refuse to call him Tito. Not happening. no sir, we don't go for that kind of crap here in chicago, sir. how did he even get that nickname anyway? It was apparently his dad's nickname, per the interwebs.

i'm honestly thinking a theo-hahn pairing is in our future. with francona as manager. I don't think Francona is gonna happen.
-
I don't think anyone's saying we care what their opinion is as to the ultimate question. But it's interesting to hear that they (Boston fans) are reacting to the tap dance the same way that we (Cubs fans) are. Depending on your biases, you can hear different things - so it's interesting that we all heard the same thing. Pretty sure that was a joke based on a comment from yesterday.
-
Yeah. Or if you're a pessimist, it could be a reason why they won't grant it. But I agree. I think Kenney is going to be out/minimized. Which I don't care about either way, except if it increases the chances of Theo coming.
-
You'd think that all sides would want this resolved one way or another reasonably quickly.
-
I caught part of that too. He seemed to think Theo coming here was definitely possible. He didn't think Francona was gonna happen though. SoSH wasn't too happy with the Henry/Lucchino interview.
