J'étais déjà un partisan des Cubs (après les Red Sox bien sûr!) alors qu'ils étaient une équipe perdante. Je me réjouis de l'arrivée d'Epstein avec l'équipe. Pourra-t-il mettre fin à la très longue disette (103 ans!!!) de l'équipe en Séries mondiales? Il n'a que 37 ans et déjà deux conquêtes avec les Sox... Baseball is better whith history! Un de mes très beaux souvenirs de radio est l'entrevue faite avec Pierre-Yves Lord pendant un match au Wrigley field!
""When I got to Boston they hadn't won in 86 years. We didn't run from that challenge. We embraced it," Epstein said. "We decided the way to attack it was to build the best baseball operation that we could, to try to establish a winning culture, to work as hard as possible and to bring in players who care more about each other and more about winning than the people around them thought or the external expectations, the external mindset. That's something that is going to be important to us here as well.
"We're going to build the best baseball operation we can. We're going to change the culture. Our players are going to change the culture along with us in the major league clubhouse. We're going to make building a foundation for sustained success a priority. That will lead to playing October baseball more often than not. Once you get in in October there's a legitimate chance to win the World Series."
Epstein vowed to build a better scouting and farm system for the Cubs.
"We won't rest until there is a steady stream of talent" coming to Wrigley Field from the minors.
"We're going to have to grind our way to the top," he said."
