Theo Epstein is headed to the windy city. The man once hailed as Boston's curse breaker is out as the Red Sox GM and in as GM of the Cubs. And the hope of all Chicago fans is that the two-time World Series mastermind will repeat his past successes for the leagues last cursed franchise.
The problem is expectations create pressure, pressure shortens grace periods, and Chicago fans are just as temperamental and vile as Boston fans. Meaning, unlike Chicago's other young stud Ferris Buller, the dramatic comedy that is Theo's exodus to the Cubs will feature absolutely no days off.
