10:57 AM ET 10.09 | Tour groups roamed Wrigley Field on a gorgeous fall afternoon in Chicago, oblivious to the possibility Theo Epstein might be in the ballpark. Was he, or wasn't he? There was no confirmed evidence the Red Sox general manager had slipped into town for a surreptitious job interview Saturday. Red Sox ownership has yet to acknowledge a report the Cubs have asked permission to talk to Epstein. Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts hasn't commented on the job search, except to say he's conducting one. No one was talking again ??? except for one Lakeview resident in a purple T-shirt who believes he spoke to Epstein on Saturday morning at a Starbucks in Lincoln Park. So was it the real Epstein, or just a reasonable facsimile? "It was Theo all right," said Noah Pinzur, a lifelong Cubs fan. "I'm 99.9 percent sure."

Just read this article in the Trib, funny they leave out the last time someone was 99.9% sure of something it was Carlos Zambrano being 'sure' he WOULDN'T get into trouble.......

I believe Elvis was the barista who made Theo's Tall Venti no-whip soy 186 half-caf macchiato That's a hard order especially being that you can't just blend in Theo's ingredients... they have to be folded in.

This headline sounds like something I would expect from The Onion.

You know you're grasping for straws when you think that Epstein (one of the original Sweathogs) is going to resurrect your team.

He had the second-highest payroll in baseball.....and his team didn't make the playoffs.

Cubs fans want Theo so bad they are now having hallucinations of him in Starbucks. Next thing you know they'll see the Virgin Mary at Wrigley believing it's a sign they'll win a championship this century.
