Because that's what they're saying..
Cashman: So, lemmie get this straight: It they don't find the Higgs boson, we don't exist?
Hall: No, jeez, you're not listening. The Higgs is a hypothetical, ubiquitous quantum particle with a non-zero value in its ground state. When it interacts with other forces, it gives the universe mass.
Cashman: What if the whole universe is merely the figment of one child's imagination,
there is no Derek Jeter, no Mariano Rivera... and no vast revenues to spend on free agents?Hall: There would still be plenty to spend on players - in the mind of the universe-owner-child.
Cashman: But who imagines the owner-child? And where does the team payroll come from?
Hall: All of us! We are all the owner! Don't you see it? Can't you feel it?
Cashman: Wow. This is the most rewarding contract negotiation I've ever done. We're all the owner! How about $10 million a year, for five years!
Hall: Nay, Brian. As a fellow owner, I cannot accept $10 million a year. I cannot take advantage of you.
Cashman: Damn it, Hall, I've never known anyone like you. I love you!
Hall: And I, you, Brian. But it cannot be. I cannot sign.
Cashman: Is it my fate to forever have Eduardo Nunez as utility infielder? Is my fate to always know Chris Dickerson as my acquistion?
Hall: You shouldn't have traded Jesus, man. Now, we just gotta wait for that Higgs boson.
