The Cubs are Sveum-ful; Theo is Delusional
Sveum comes in to the video at the 2:35 mark. I don't know why I posted it. It's kind of weird. But sweet video, Dale.
Get it?
Because Svuemful sounds like shameful...is what I was going for.
But the Cubs named Dale Sveum as manager today and people in Chicago are acting like Theo pulled a fast one on the Red Sox.
Like he stole Dale Sveum out from under our collective noses.
First of all, it's fucking Dale Sveum. The guy was hands down the worst 3rd base coach in Red Sox history. If he was a traffic cop, he's be responsible for more deaths a year than fires, which is a lot.
Second of all, there were reports that Sveum went back to the Red Sox after getting the offer from the Cubs to give them a chance to match the offer.
I'm no mensa candidate, but I'm pretty sure that means the Sox told Sveum no and then he went back to the Cubs.
Either way, I wouldn't be too worried considering, once again, it's fucking Dale Sveum.
But the lack of a managerial-filled quota leads me to the next bit of info.
Apparently, the Sox have since met with resident idiot ESPN Sunday Night Baseball announcer and Goosebumps enthusiast Bobby Valentine.
I just don't care anymore. I just want the Sox to name a damn manager already.
Lastly, even though he's gone, Theo is still screwing the Red Sox.
The latest report on the negotiations for his compensation is that they are postponed until December.
Similarly, a report out of this website is that this shit is officially ridiculous.
Theo said the other day that he just doesn't think he's worth that much. And we can only assume that that is the major hold up right now.
Uhhh, newsflash, Pearl Jam. You were arguably the most successful GM for the Boston Red Sox during a tenure which included ending an 86-year-old World Series drought and tacking on another one for good measure.
Not to mention the Sox let you out of your current deal to become the PRESIDENT of one of the most recognizable organizations in the world.
So I'd say you have some value.
Whatever. The Sox need to get their shit together. I'm going to go watch the Bruins.
