The good kid says the Cubs have their "Manchurian Manager."

Sounds about right, but it will keep the suburban soccer moms and tourists from Iowa happy because "Grandpa Rossy" pulled a Jimmy Dugan and goes out and waves his little hat around.

It's as pathetic as the late 90's when "it was okay they lost by 8 runs today...Sammy hit a homer".

I've never been happier to not be a Cubs fan.

Man if I posted Manchurian Manager I would get labeled racist.

Love Jurko

Theo's 4th managerial hire.

How many more does he get?

Ask Kenny Williams

Theo has now hired double the amount of Cubs managers as Kenny Williams has Sox managers.


You have had your day and your thread, Bob. The KO of FF was hilarious. Don't let it get to your head. Leave on a high note. Showmanship.

Granted it is a low bar but Ross will be a better manager than Papa Bunt on the south side.

I don't think he's using the expression correctly. That would imply some kind of sabotage. Like if they hired Mike Matheney and then the Cardinals would have their 'Manchurian Manager' on the Cubs.

Or is everybody in on the joke that Jurko's a dumbass but me?

He also has double the playoff appearances in less than half the time as Kenny.

_________________

Theo has won the same amount of playoff games over the past two seasons as you have.

Kenny has also the Sox to as many winning seasons as I have over the last 7.

_________________

Kenny hasn't been the GM for the past seven seasons, so not sure what you're talking about.

Anyway, good luck with Grampa Rossy!!

Double?

Kenny
Ozzie
Ventura
Happy

Theo
Sveum
Happy
Maddon
Ross


Letting Ventura stink up the place for 5 total seasons isn't a badge of honor.

Rick Hahn has been GM since the 2013 season. "Happy" wasn't hired as manager until 2016. He was bench coach in 2015.

So yes, double, as in four managers hired by Theo is double the two managers that Kenny hired.

You couldn't leave well enough alone in this thread, could you? Couldn't go out on a high note. You just had to bring Kenny Williams up, then stick around to get your face kicked in again.

Theo has never been the Cubs GM

Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Just stop. Walk away. You're getting dumber in this thread by the minute.

_________________

So Cubs Team President Theo Epstein owns all those hires, but White Sox Executive Vice President Kenny Williams doesn't own his? Who you crappin? Both Hoyer and Hahn are caddies for their bosses.

Let's be fair on this one. Kenny and Hahn have never truly called the shots. That's all Jerry.

And let's be honest, Jed Hoyer is nothing but the Manchurian GM who does whatever Theo has told him to do.

In Frank's fantasy world, Rich Hahn is a great GM that operates with complete autonomy and only has minimal reporting duties to the VP and Team Owner who support him whole-hearty, are 100% committed to winning and provide adequate financial resources. Also in Franks fantasy land his favorite baseball team has made the postseason at least once this decade.

again I don't think this is the right use of this phrase!

It's the de facto cream-of-the-class, if you will.

It doesn't matter. The point is there.

Fucking call him a human ventriloquist dummy for all I care.

Dude. YOU brought up Kenny Williams in this thread. Kenny hasn't been a GM for years now. Just shut the fuck up. I told you to walk out on a high note. You perform well in one thread a year and you had yours earlier today with FF. You have been delivered a complete ass kicking in this thread, so just walk away and cut your losses dumbshit.
