Theo Epstein: Twitter Explodes in Hilarity Imagining #TheoDayOne

Theo Epstein is now the General Manager of the Chicago Cubs. 

There are not too many stories in baseball that can trump the ongoing postseason, but Theo moving from one cursed franchise to another one will do the trick.

Twitter users have responded to the news by imagining what Epstein's first day on the job might be like.

The result is the hashtag #TheoDayOne. It has spawned some extremely creative and hilarious tweets, all describing fictitious quotes that Epstein might utter upon starting work on the North Side.

Tweets have ranged from bagging on the culture and history of Boston and Chicago to ripping on the Cubs current roster of overpaid under-achievers.

Here is a collection of some of the best tweets so far:
