I'm pretty happy about it. It's as happy as I've been about a Cubs move in a long time.

This only serves to remind me of the drunken conversation my friends and I had in a Pittsburgh (Yep, that's right) hotel room when we went to see a few games at PNC a couple of years ago. It was with Quade's girlfriend. She was a sexy old cougar who told us that Fuky loves his Marlboro Reds and that Quade doesn't have a single hair on his entire body. It was...gross.

I was just wondering about this - is Quade the first hairless manager in baseball history? Maybe TJ can weigh in on this historical query.

I think Stan Sitwell did a short stint with the Rangers in the late 70s.

That's pretty funny because Ed Begley played a hairless guy named Sitwell on Arrested Development.  Do you think it was based on that Rangers player?
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

I hear Vines on Clark has a nice selection of red wine plus some tasty vegetarian entrees.

Mackanin and Mike Maddux are the first confirmed interviews. Cubs look like they're moving quickly. Anyone else excited about the possibility of Mike Maddux?

I don't *hate* the possibility of Mike Maddux. Which is about as close as I can get to excited, I think.

I'm fully prepared for my reaction to the managerial hire to be, "Okay, I don't really know anything about this guy, but let's assume Theo and Hoyer know what they're doing."
