As is usual, the "fill-in-the-blanks" are always fun

Call me Nervous Nelly…but the ‘24-48 hours’ have passed and we’ve heard nothing for sure. Any chance of a major snafu here?

Possibly.

The noise and remorse seem to be coming from the east. I don’t think we’re doing anything wrong. Odd concept.

You mean the concept

that we’re not doing anything wrong is odd? :]

Weird to think..

… that the Cubs are doing this right while the Red Sox are self-destructing.

starts making a habit of this?! I dunno…I’ll admit I’ve got a good feelin bout this. And, in MY BOOK, Tom Ricketts just went from a “talker” to a “doer”. Period. If this dosen’t work out (ala Hendry, Lou, The Quade, etc), I for one, won’t feel he didn’t give it his best shot. Yeah, we could say “What about Beane or _ _ _ _ _”? But, if you’re unhappy with Epstein…look at his track record (yea, he pulled a coupla boners in last season or two, but overall???)
