[photogallerylink id=384 align=left]The press conference is tomorrow. Expectations are modest. As long as the blind can see, the lame can walk, and The Cubs can rise from the dead, Theo will have done his job. I’m making book on how soon someone asks him if he believes in curses. How many times have we seen new managers dismiss the idea of a curse before they’re led from the clubhouse mumbling to themselves, “How could that possibly happen?” Theo is a music fan. Add these to your ipod, Mr. Epstein, and everything will become clear.

Michael McDermott-Unemployed. “85 percent of the f#@%$&*# world is out there working, the other 15 percent come out here. It’s a f#@%$&*# playground for the c#%&*&%$#@#.”- The William Shakespeare of Cub managers, Lee Elia. I only regret that Theo missed my one man show: Lin Brehmer is Lee Elia, Cub Manager.

    If I may be so bold as to submit something that I wrote and recorded myself, I would like to submit:
    “Here”
    http://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/track/here

    “All my roads are paved in good intentions
    Good intentions pave the road to hell…
    …but Here is where I want to stay”

    I think that it speaks to the slightly(?!) masochistic ethos of the average Cubs fan.
