Like a king ready to preside over his new kingdom, Theo Epstein held court today at his introductory press conference with great aplomb. And this shot, courtesy of Cubs.com, is begging to be captioned on this happy, happy day. You think Tom Ricketts shares our excitement?
So, captions. Do share if you’re so inclined.

A fun way to keep the lights on at BN? And you can win money by playing one day's worth of fantasy baseball? Score.

With Matt Garza and Scott Feldman surely on the block, the Cubs could be in the catbird seat in a weak market. Also, more on David Price's injury/trade situation.

You have questions, and I have answers. Whether column B actually pairs to column A, well, that's what we'll find out.

As he demonstrated on a hanging changeup yesterday, it isn't large. Otherwise, he's quite good. Also an update on pitching prospect Josh Conway.

A new hope!
“i just let out a silent one, wait til he gets a whif of that”
Theo: You don’t know the power of the Dark-side!
“Does Theo ‘*like* me’ or just ‘like me’ like me?”
And Henry said I’m not letting you go. And I said, “Whatcha ya gonna’ do about it”!
Tom looks like he’s ready to jizz in his pants with that look of admiration at Theo.
“*sigh* He is sooooo dreamy.. he sparkles!”
havent seen that type of look since prom night….at least they have come out and not hiding man crushes….so Cubs are open minded organization which is good….like military is now which is about time….as long as the new players can bunt, is all I care about
“You never forget your first pudding face.”
If Jell-O doesn’t start using this, that’s just poor marketing on their part
Epstein about to be on Chicago Tribune Live with Kaplan right now.
Great show with Kaplan and Theo lots of great questions/answers.
I missed it (out to dinner with family). I’m sure there’ll be a write-up/transcript, though. Look forward to reading and sifting.
Id like to see that write-up/transcript if you find it please post it. Dont have csn sadly.
Agreed.
Damn he’s hot. I wonder if Theo is a boxer or briefs man? Or the best of both worlds, the boxer brief. Yeah, he’s gotta be a boxer brief kind of guy. I wore my best cologne today, I wonder if he noticed? God, he is so hot! I’m so glad I didn’t give that oily bohunk Hendry a piece of ass at last years Christmas party! Man, I was drunk. I’m saving myself for Theo. I wonder if he manscapes … Full Brazilian? Definitely. Wha… Wait… When did the press conference end? Damn he’s hot.
Wait, are there YOUR thoughts? Or Ricketts’s?
Yes.
Well, his wife isn’t bad either. Neither is David DeJesus wife. Yowza!
“Wow, I mean WOW! I just stole Theo FREAKIN’ Epstein from the Red Sox! Somebody please pinch me…..”
Ricketts: Tonight I’m gonna show Theo my “O” face!
Ha. Nicely integrating the movie of the day.
During ctl theo kept calling it a building
mode not rebuilding also he kept hinting tthat hes going to try to put a contender for 2012. Example. I dont c 2012 as a year we punt the ball we will try to balance 12 as a uear we punt tje ball cubs fams deserve to c a winner every year we r buildimg not rebuilding
Theo kept hinting on ctl. Example I dont c 2012 as a year we punt the ball cub fans deserve to c a contender every year we r building not rebuilding. Brett wat do u think he means by thos comments
My bad about the first comment touch keyboard suks
Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things.
Buying the Chicago Cubs: $850 million
Getting the best GM in the game: $18.5 million and a couple of prospects
Looking down at a room full of your biggest critics with a shit eating grin: Priceless.
without a doubt the best haha
Splendid.
(Ricketts) “I’m gonna win a series…I’m gonna win a series!”
(Theo) “You may call me ‘Savior’ or ‘Theo Christ’…whichever flows better off the pen”
(Hendry – at home watching) Sob…Sob…Sob…”Damn Bartman!”
I desperately want to make love to a schoolboy.
“You like Mac-n-Cheese too? I’ll have my mom call your mom and we can totally have a slumber party!”
“Is that a microphone in front of me, or am I just very glad to see you?!”
Theo: “You see, we can move Soriano as soon as 2012.”
Ricketts: “You’re so cute when you talk payroll reduction!”
I know this is very late, but here goes…
“I want to kiss you.” (Joe Namath/Suzy Kolber reference)
Late, but funny.
