Dave Van Dyk just told Mully and Hanley that Quade has the leg up for the top step full-time next season. He said Hendry really likes him, as he hired him in the first place. He agreed with what Dolan's been writing, that the Cubs hired Sandberg as window dressing and sent him deep into the minors in hopes that he'd get bored and quit.

According to Dave, they're hoping the Cubs finish with a .500+ record under Quade to make it an easier sell. The fans are going to absolutely fucking hate this.

I don't know how I feel about it, having yet to hear boo from Slezak on it, but it seems like Hendry would get the blame for the Quade hiring when the Cubs suck next year and both guys would be gone. That would open the door for the Maddux/Sandberg/Maddux/Dernier/Varsho/Wood regime to take over and save our motherloving souls.

Fuck.

It could be even worse if Sandberg winds up managing somewhere else after being passed up for Quade.

It could always be worse. He could end up replacing teh Genius and winning a World Series while I end up blowing my head off with a .44.

I like Quade's chances if a manager fight breaks out.

I like to go for the win and force the issue and try to win a game as opposed to sitting back.

And that was Hendry's problem with Alan Trammell's candidacy for manager; he's constantly sitting back and going for the loss, as evidenced by his time in Detroit.

I'd be ok with Quade.

But I'm also self-aware enough to know that nobody gives a shit what I think.

I know little of Quade but for some reason, I have "FAIL" stuck in my mind if he's the manager in 2011.. I GOT A FEELING

I'm amused that someone would have WIN on their mind for 2011 regardless of who is hired.
