OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Unless you count interim manager Frank Luchesi, who finished the '87 season after Michael was canned (and whom Lenny Randle--before he was a Cub-- once beat the shit out of in Spring Training with Texas).
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Luchessi was a total Interim hire. Dallas's plan was to bring in John Vuckovich to manage in 1988.

Joey Amalfitano, Lee Elia, Jim Frey, Joe Altobelli, Jim Essian, Jim Lefebvre, Tom Trebelhorn, Jim Essian, Jim Riggleman, Renee Lachemann, Bruce Kimm, Dusty Baker, Lou Piniella, Mike Quade, Dale Sveum, Ricky Renteria and Joe Maddon are the only living Cubs managers left.

BONUS:
Deadpool for living Cubs managers in order of their demise:
1. Amalfitano (2017)
2. Altobelli (2018)
3. Baker (2018)
4. Frey (2018)
5. Kimm (2019)
6. Piniella (2020)
7. Elia (2020)
8. Trebelhorn (2022)
9. Lefebvre (2022)
10. Lachemann (2022)
11. Sveum (2023)
12. Riggleman (2025)
13. Kimm (2027)
14. Quade (2028)
15. Renteria (2030)
16. Maddon (2045)
17. Essian (Once HJE finally is restored)
