What Should Theo Do?


[If the following confuses you, please watch this.]

Theo Epstein: What should I do? Should I admit that I've made mistakes?

Theo: Should I remind you of what we've accomplished? Should I give you a history lesson?

Theo, as Gordon Gecko: The point is, ladies and gentlemen, Greed, for lack of a better term, is good. Greed works. Greed in all its forms - greed for rings, greed for $160 million payrolls, greed for Texan starters on the wrong side of 30 - has marked the upward surge of baseball. And Greed, you mark my words, will not only save the Boston Red Sox, but that other malfunctioning corporation called Major League Baseball.

Theo: Maybe I should just disappear.

THEOWND47: How the $#@ is Reymond Fuentes #6 on Baseball America's List? He should be WAY higher - there's a reason I drafted him with a first round pick... BTW, Gizmosandy is the best moderator on OTM  zomg!!!11

Theo: Should I make you laugh? Should I read you a mournful poem?

Theo, reading:

"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?"

Theo: What should I do?
Should I be who you want me to be?

I'm a Heat fan.

And I got a kick out of this. Hilarious. Rec’d.

I actually am a Heat fan because of Wade.

Wade is no evil. Hes an awesome player.

I like the Islanders they are actually a hero…for teams that play them.

OK, begrudging +1

If there’s anyone who isn’t to blame on the Heat (assuming, arguendo, that there is blame), it DWade.

Everything LBJ does gets mocked.

Either he likes being hated or he’s a dumbass. He has no idea on how to manage his “brand”. That could be because he possibly has his high school flunkies telling him what to do.
