Catchers probably decide more games than all the coaches combined.

That's why they make good managers.

On 1 level, I see how the Sandberg ALS is generally pissed off, but on another level I am just pissed at Hendry for using all this time to develop a manager and he was just fucking around the whole time.


He decided he wasn't developed enough. Fine with me. I'd rather see someone who has been in a coaching role longer manage the team I root for.

Wendell Kim or Chris Speier would get your vote of confidence then. Or perhaps you are more of a Peanuts Lowery kind of guy? I would rather see a guy with a plan and a vision . It is clear why these fuckin goofs wanted Q managing. So they could run the clubhouse. Fuck these assholes. Sandberg may or may not have made any decisions that changed where this club is now but I would bet they would at least play with some purpose and ambition. This team FUCKING BLOWS.

Are you vouching for Sandberg having a plan and a vision? Do you have some sort of inside view we aren't privy to?

The Cubs have a personnel issue. This is starting to work itself out as the bad contracts we have wind down, and the young players we have start to get chances.[/quote]
What is this "we" shit you talk about. Are you privy to something? Do you have a mouse in your pocket that works for the Cubs? Are you employed by them? We means us as in I have a vested stake or say in this team. The fuckin Cubs have had a personnel issue as long as I have been on this earth. When you were shittin green I was watching this franchise suck to the heavens so do not give me the young players will do it bullshit. You are too young to preach and I think smart enough to know better.[/quote]

So sorry for the minor fuck up. Thanks for calling it to my attention. I never would have known without your help.

A little perspective:

The BEST managers make a difference of about 3-5 games per year.

I agree.

Managing baseball is probably the easiest of all the major sports. I can make the proper matchup moves, or steal-calls, or sac bunt calls, or etc... Managing egos would be the only real difficult task in the job. There's no complicated X's and O's like you see in football, basketball, or hockey.

Maybe the best managers can make a positive +5 but the worst can cost a lot more. Mismanaging matchups is one thing but killing bullpens and waiting to pull starters too long can cost 5 games a month, and really the pain in the pen doesn't even start showing until August or September.

You got it. Plus once the losing starts, it often spirals out of control as it is now in getting swept at home by the last place Astros. This team has already quit on Quade.
