...is 2012 the year?!
Nope, wait until about 2014 or so....is 2012 the year?!
Ricketts screwed up with Ryno, Cubs would have won 10-12 more games this year. By hiring Quade(who was a joke not even Dempster respected)it was basically enough of a snub to close the door permanently. That's why he took his old job back in Philly.I don't think Theo did bad in Boston, the proof is in the pudding there...hopefully he'll be able to do something with the Cubs that they just haven't been able to do for themselves yet...
I think a BIG mistake the Cubs are making, is not giving Ryne Sandberg a chance to manage! I understand that they're not wanting to hire a manager without big league (mgmt) experience, but come on! Especially with it looking right now like the Cubs are just going to completely abandon their fans' hopes of even a contending team, I feel they really NEED someone like Ryne to be there! When the Cubs suck terribly, yet again this upcoming year, Sveum is just gonna catch all the shit, just how it is with any team that's doing extremely poorly. Ryne Sandberg has a lot of respect from Cubs fans, and I know we'd at least be able to cut him some slack while the team is "rebuilding" (i.e. not important enough for the owners to spend real money to get some real players).
