You DO know that an ex-Cub player has my support in the managerial race, right?

That's a timely reappearance if I've ever seen one.

At this point, they should just give Quade the job. If they're not going to spend enough money to improve the team and plan to use what they have, they might as well keep the guy who's been busting his ass to win games. I kinda like this bald clown. Also, beating San Diego in their poo-stained 1984 abortion uniforms is sweet.

I'm thinking that's what Hendry and the Rickettses want to do. Once you hire Ryne Sandberg as your manager, you're facing the inevitable day that you become The Man Who Fired Ryne Sandberg.

That's why you should never hire one of your legends to manage.

For a second there I thought it would be awesome to see Dave Martinez get the jorb just to see how completely and publicly asshurt Sandberg would become. Then I remembered that I like Ryne Sandberg. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Quade to manage, Ryno to be bench coach.

Will Carroll?

I wonder who delivered that news to the Android Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop?
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I'm surprised a known loser like Will can find time to tweet what with the release of fascinating images like this.

This makes no sense anyway.

1) They'll announce a managerial move during the LCS? If BC thinks Bud Selig hates the Cubs now...
2) Sandberg will agree to work as second banana, when word is the Mets, Brewers, Torontos, Mariners and maybe even the White Sox and Cardinals would be interested in him?
3) Will Carroll is a twat. Everything R-V said.

The Sandberg part makes no sense.  Hiring Quade on the cheap in what will be a lame duck season for a lot of people makes a lot of sense.

Quade taking the job makes a lot of sense because no one else is giving him a major league managing job.  Ever.

There's a reason Brenly publicly stated he wasn't taking the job. And I don't think it's the Don Draper "It's because I won't have you even tho you broke up with be first" reason.

Being the Cubs manager in 2011 is Dead Man Walking.

Why the fuck would you hire a bench coach with no big league coaching experience? I know the answer. I shouldn't have phrased that as a question.
