The All-Purpose No Bullshit Tolerating Who Should Be the Next Manager Thread

[Yeti]

Two questions.

1. Does anybody think that the Cubs can possibly win a World Championship so long as Jim Hendry helms the organization?

2. If the answer to #1 is "hellz no," and if Hendry is indeed returning for 2011 -- and, Christ, possibly beyond -- does his choice of manager actually matter?

Therefore, it might as well be Ryne Sandberg.  It'll deceive Cub fans into a temporary state of happiness, right up until the continued shitty play of the club turns us against the greatest second baseman to ever wear a Cubs uniform. 

Of course, I'm talking about Glenn Beckert. 

Well, they did have the best team in the NL in 2008 under him, but going forward, no way.

Jim needs to bring back DeRosa as player-manager.  Right that wrong.  When's the last time this stupid league's had a player-manager anyway?  Rose?

The similarities are CHILLING.

So CHILLING as to almost appear computer generated.

Five months ago, the kaleidoscope of power had been shaken, and Aringarosa was still reeling from the blow.

Classic.

The bartender's silence spoke leaflets. After what seemed like a long time, he unsilenced and spoke again. "What would you like to drink?" he said slowly, a little too slowly. Almost like it was in code. If there was one thing Dan Brown could do, besides bookery, it was being able to pull hidden codes from seemingly nowhere, at least to anyone who wasn't he - Dan Brown.

Paul Daughtery, a Cincinnati Enquirer columnist, said that was high praise coming from Baker, whose wristbands and toothpick and smooth self-assurance make him one of baseball's coolest characters.

Wristbands and toothpicks?

Steve McQueen would be rolling over in his grave if he hadn't been too cool to be buried in the earth.

Paul Daughtery makes Jay Marriotti look like Bernie Lincicome. He's the WORST.

Ryno has plenty of free time to prepare for a follow-up interview with Hendry. The I-Cubs blew the division title on the final day of the season and won't be going to the playoffs.

He's perfect.
