Who cares. Maybe somebody else besides me missed it too.

My favorite part? Learning that Theo's fantasy football team name is the Stinky Pinkys
-
Waddle and Silvy retweeted a pic of Theo out to lunch at Vines on Clark.

SHOOTOUT

Direct quote from McCarver WTF?

Kaplan needs to shave, like asap

Might our long local nightmare finally be over?

Meanwhile, Rotoworld is reporting Friedman meeting with Angels.

*sigh* Moorad and Ricketts are buddies. Moorad loves Byrnes. Therefore, Moorad will not stand in the way of Hoyer coming to the Cubs, thereby allowing him to promote Byrnes to GM. You sure do a lot of sighing

According to B & B, Kaplan and Levine's source is Kenney. So.... there's that.

I could have told you that 10 days ago. Well then why didn't you say anything?! Why did you keep it a secret?!
-
The deal is not off and the Red Sox have not balked. Talks of deal being done were premature, John Henry says not close.

The sad part is I'm 23 and I've been a Cubs fan my whole life. :banghead:
-
I'm not falling for this crap again. Won't get my hopes up until the press conference starts. I feel like a chump.

He keeps retweeting other people telling him how great a job he's doing on the story. It's hilarious.

Yellon is awful. All he talks about is attendance and the weather. The worst SB Nation blog of any Chicago team by far.

The similarity in our names will only create a great competition which will lead us to greater analysis and opinions in the hopes of differentiating ourselves from the other. We will become bastions of logic and reason in a community yearning for such.
-
Yep. By one of those weird kids with the Epstein names that no one can differentiate and will cause confusion inevitably when the time comes for them to be made fun of.

I think that's exactly what this is, and I too would be disapointed if Theo was the out of public eye president and Hoyer was the GM. Then again, apparently the best part of Theo is his ability to build a strong baseball organization and farm system and his worst quality is his ability to make successful FA signings. Hiring Hoyer as GM to target and negotiate FAs might be beneficial even if Theo surely has tons of influence on the decisions. Even if that's true, there has to be some level of independence built into the position for Hoyer to leave his position controlling the SD franchise and move to Chicago to work under Theo. Would make no sense to pay Theo 15-20M to not make those decisions. He is making those most important decisions. He's just giving Hoyer leiway to make decisions under the scope of what Theo's plan is. I dunno, its the only quasi-logical reason I can think that Hoyer wants to give up his control of a major league baseball team to take a less important role under Theo. He could be making more money, but I can't see it being significant enough for him to leave his current position. You really can't see any reason why Hoyer would want to leave the Padres to join the Cubs and his old buddy?
-
Regardless of possibility, would you guys rather have Hoyer or Byrnes?
-
That's a lot of speculation right there

I apologize, I've been away from the computer all day. Could some extremely kind individual inform me if there has been any progression in the extremely frustrating holdup on the compensation involving Theo Epstein coming to the Chicago Cubs organization
