So who do you guys wanna see manage next year?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I'm a big Sandberg fan, but not sure he'd be the best choice at this time. They have been grooming him.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Sandberg would be my guess.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Dusty Baker might be available again.:r


But seriously, Sandburg deserves a fair shot. He's done decent in the minors I hear. I think he's at Knoxville now (or was at some point)?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

He's in Iowa now. First place team,

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

He was in Knoxville with the Smokies at some point though, right?

Yes. I believe that is correct.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Joe Torre would be a hell of a manager.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Torre.
Girardi.
Brenley.


I would not throw Ryne to the wolves, which would be what making him manager next season would be doing. :2

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Trust me, I watched enough Yankee baseball over the past 20 years to know Torre is not the guy for you. He needs a fully constructed team of all-stars to win. If he has to make any managerial decisions in a close series (A La 2000 WS against the D-Backs) he will lose. Torre should thank Buck Showalter and Gene Michael for handing him a HoF managerial job.

As for the Cubbies, I'm totally excited, heading out to Wrigley tomorrow for the first time, sitting in the outfield GA.

Wear a poncho, Chris. ;) :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I just saw... crap...

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Now you know that Girardi isn't coming to Chicago anytime soon. Coming off of a WS champion team to the Cubs?:r:r




Question from MLB.com: Does Lou belong in the Hall of Fame?

I think so. He's been in the MLB for almost 50 years, has a good track record as a manager and managed a team to a WS Championship. Maybe not one of the standout people in the HOF, but I definitely think he deserves a shot.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I meant for all the flying beer!! :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Thanks for beating the Cards today!:banger

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Tom... Wrigley is utterly amazing. The whole experience dwarfs all other stadiums I've been too. Chichago as a whole has been a wonderful experience thus far, typing this in between beers downtown right now.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Nothing like a day game at Wrigley, Chris...glad you got good weather and an unusually good Cub performance. Are you still drinking? :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Yeah lol... We hung out in wrigleyville for a while, freshened up, and headed out for a bite and some more brews

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Most excellent, cool that you made a whole day and night of it. :)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Thanks for the sweep boys!:D Now go sweep the Cards for us next week.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Have you seen us play??? :hn :r :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

You guys have Marlon Byrd going for you, but I guess he can't win it by himself.:)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Reds 18, Marlon Byrd 1. ;)

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

They almost did it! Two out of three ain't bad.:tu

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I was shocked, but Dempster and Zambrano pitched well, and the bullpen just barely didn't f*** it up. :r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Bottom of the ninth yesterday was a nailbiter. Looks like our closer, Cordero, was on loan to the Cubbies.:D

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

When does football season start?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

:D

I feel your pain!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Glad to see the Reds finally back on track. I grew up wanting to be Johnny Bench. Wore #5, caught the same way he did. Dad was a big fan so we went to Reds games but I watched the Cubs on TV.

Looks like Lee is headed to Atlanta.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

It has been an honor and a privilege to watch Lou all these many years. He will be greatly missed in the baseball world. Today was his final game.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

48 years? Did I hear that right? he's been involved in baseball for that long? He was certainly fun to watch! No manager took the art of getting kicked out of a game to the levels that he did! Good luck Lou!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I get off the internet for 5 days to go herf, and come back to no Lou. Only in Wrigleyville.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Yes, Sweet Lou's sour puss will be missed. All the best to him, and I hope his mom gets better soon.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Thanks for the help, Chicago!



Nice to see Andre Dawson getting honored soon. He was the man!

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I know it's been a sucky year, Cubbies fans, but still at the same time, it's been a rememberable year. Pinella retiring, Dawson being remembered. Where's the love Cubby fans? I'm a Reds fan, but if I had to pick a second team, it would be the Cubbies. You're losing, but when has that ever stopped you guys from being vocal?

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

They're still playing baseball?

Watch all of the candidates run for the hills....:r

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Looks like Ryno might get it by default. :hn

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Surprisingly, he did not.

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/ml...=ESPNHeadlines

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I am actually pleased with the move.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Me too.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

Sucks that Sandberg didn't get it. It may be for the best, but it just seems like a slap in the face.

Re: Wait 'til Next Year...Cubbies Fans Unite!
 

I disagree....I don't think the Cubs will be contenders next year without some serious player changes, and I think Ryno would have been set up to fail.
