Have you ever wondered if Theo Epstein is related to Brian Epstein, the guy who managed the Beatles? I never gave that a moment of thought until I saw the headline announcing that the Cubs have extended Theo’s contract five years. My first thought was “FANTASTIC”. My second thought was, “Gee, I wonder if Theo is related to Brian Epstein?”
You see the connection right? No? I am not surprised. It’s just the pin ball nature of how my brain works on some nights. This was a threatening, cool night when the game did not go well, did not matter anyway and the rain never came.
