Ryne Sandberg and the terrible secret of Cubs Care
People of Earth-One, I come to you with news of a terrible future—one only you can prevent. In this future I am called C189P235; I am from what we call East West St. Louis, one of five jurisdictions run by what remains of the federal government as burnt-out holding cells for those among us...
The Cubs' Manager In 2012 Should Be...
At Tuesday's news conference, new Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein said this about the future of current Cubs manager Mike Quade: "Mike seems like a great guy, and he has developed a great reputation over many decades in this game," Epstein said. "I look forward to sitting down...
Sources Deny Report That Quade Will Be Named Cubs Manager
UPDATE: Sources say there's nothing to this rumor. Nevertheless, it was worth posting. This may or may not happen, but MSNBC is reporting this, via tweet from Will Carroll: Triple-A Iowa skipper Ryne Sandberg is going to promoted to the position of Cubs bench coach, according to Carroll, and will...
Who Will Be Named Cubs Manager?
This is just a quick little post to get some discussion going on a baseball-less day. We have discussed often here our personal preferences for the job of Cubs manager in 2011 and beyond. The poll attached to this posts asks the question in a bit of a different way. Regardless of your personal...
Managerial Changes: There's Gonna Be A Flood
With all the discussion, analysis, speculation and outright guessing as to who will inhabit the Cubs' manager's office in 2011, I thought it would be useful to take a look at all 29 other teams and the status of their managerial positions. I believe that years from now, the 2010-11 offseason will...

Cubs vs. Astros Preview, Wednesday 9/8, 7:05 CT: Summer's End
This is the last game of the second-longest homestand of the year; the Cubs will play 16 of their final 22 games on the road (and that would be a tough schedule for a good team; perhaps we should be grateful that these games don't mean anything), and when they return, we will be only 24 hours away...
Who Should Be The Cubs' Next Manager?
On today's off day, I thought I'd start out with a quick post which is mostly a poll. I asked you this question in July, after Lou Piniella announced his retirement, but it deserves asking again. Some circumstances have changed since then, with Mike Quade in the mix since he's serving as manager...
Who Should Replace Lou Piniella As Cubs Manager?
Ryne Sandberg is my choice. Who's yours? We are at a unique place in modern Cubs history. For the first time since the College of Coaches era ended with Leo Durocher's emphatic statement on his hiring on October 25, 1965, "I'm the manager. I'm not a head coach, I'm the manager.", the Cubs are...
Lou Piniella To Retire At End Of 2010 Season
Just announced via press release from the Cubs, here is Lou's statement: "I couldn’t be more appreciative of the Cubs organization for providing me the opportunity to manage this ballclub," said Piniella. "I’ve had four wonderful years here that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. I’ve...
