Sandberg. Really?

[CBStew]

Now that the season is over and Piniella has abdicated, the popular outcry is that Sandberg becomes the new field manager.  I wonder if that is the best that the Cubs can do?  Don't get me wrong.  For years I was a major fan of Sandberg, the player.  But it is going to take more than nostalgia to get me to accept that this guy who couldn't put together a coherent sentence of more that six words is the answer that we are looking for.  And don't offer Casey Stengel as the example of an idiot savant who could turn out consistent World Series winners.  My mother-in-law, may she rest in peace knew nothing about baseball, but she could have managed all of those Yankee teams to World Series victories, even if all she did was to stay in her kitchen and bake noodle kugels.

Now that the season is over and Piniella has abdicated...

Curious what this refers to, I did a Google news search on Uncle Lou, only to happen upon this...

Taking on Stone? Not a Good Move, Piniella

Well, then you're an asshole.

Unless you've only had that horrid sweet one with raisins, because that kind should be condemned to an eternity being ordered around by octogenarian Jewish women complaining that "it's too cold in here" even though the thermostat is set at 82.

Oh, and I vote Brenly.

Joe Girardi!

No wait, we shouldn't want Girardi because he couldn't get along with that fucktard owner in Florida.  Clearly the guy is unstable and can't work well with difficult personalities and will never win a World Series.

Right Chuck?

I've never encountered a particularly good potato kugel. The whole idea seems to be to expand on the weakest attribute of latkes, their siren call to excessive thickness.

Potato kugel also sucks.
I peeled and shredded 10 lbs of potatoes once like a common TEC, and that was the end of that.

Straight-up noodle kugel, not sweet, just thick, eggy and a little greasy.

Try "catering" the latke half of the Latke-Hamentashen Debate with a total of two people and only a six-pack of Ballantine tallboys. I've yet to come across a Hillel kitchen that didn't look like somebody had just suffered a psychotic break.

My mother used to get a breast of veal and then cut a pocket between the ribs and the meat, and stuff the pocket with a well seasoned (garlic) potato kugel and bake it with onions and olive oil.  Is it any wonder that I now swallow Lipitor like after dinner mints?

That's it - I've only had sweet kugel with fucking corn flakes on it. I hate it. Is there a savory kugel I didn't know about? I loved my dearly departed grandmother but she's got some explaining to do.

Now you have a problem with corn flakes?

I know I was anti-Girardi (and still am because he is a tad unstable), but I'm not certain I said never.

And noodle kugel is awesome.  Further, corn flakes on it is terrible.  The flakes need to be Tony's THEIR GREAAAAT!!! Frosted variety.  Now we're talking delish.

Once I was stashed for hours and hours at a Stooges marathon in a gymnasium. Somebody's mom had picked all the Crunch Berries out of boxes and boxes of cereal and then passed them out in quart bags as a pacification device. Have Rocket, Will Travel, at the very least.

Ryne Sandberg? I'd rather see the Hawk as GM/Manager/Rightfielder/Overall Badass

Only the cubs would make a move this dumb in a year when Joe Madden is possibly on the market.
