HIRE MARK CUBAN

[sweetpeteman]

Hire Mark Cuban? Do you even know who he is?

The more appropriate question would be do you understand how the position of owner works, and how it is different from that of manager?

This reeks of a Cubs.com post. One line, no discussion, just a reactionary post that adds nothing to the forum.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

calm down, it's the person's first post

 

welcome cubbette!

I'm moving this to Baseball Discussions since it isn't actually a poll.

I want someone with a fiery temper, who will get into the face of his players....someone like Jim Leyland or Lou Piniella.

I think we should trade Baker, Maddux, and cash to the Braves for Bobby Cox. I think at this point he's everything we need; he's fiery and not afraid to get in a player's face, but he also supports his players and loves playing the young players.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Firey means nothing. Let's just get a manager that has a clue.

 

Davey Johnson, Fredi Gonzalez, or Larry Dierker please.

[BigbadB]

Me.

 

Neifi Perez will never bat above 8th in the order.

 

Dempster will never sit more than 3 days in a row.

 

Good hitters will hit at the top of the order.

 

Bad hitters will sit on the bench.

 

Players who don't have their head in the game will be pulled immediately, even if the inning isn't over.

 

Umpires will not be someone I speak respectfully with and go sit down after they made a very bad call. I will likely get kicked out of the game after I have insulted him and his mother.

 

I will consider PHing Zambrano over Bynum.

 

I will not waste outs with stupid sacrifice bunts at stupid times.

 

I will have the respect of my players because I will want to win more than any player on the team. I will inspire them to want to win.

 

I will not burn out my pitchers arms in meaningless blow out games, or at any other time, actually.

 

I will bench players who do not display a decent amount of patience at the plate.

 

I will give my GM a list of players he can sign or trade for. All others need not apply.

Can I be bench coach? Or bat boy?

As the next GM of this franchise, all I will tell you is that you had better get your resume in quickly. It had also better be accurate, because I will check up on you *George O'Leary*.

Sounds familiar.

Yeah, good one. However, my list will only have good players on it. :D

[BigbadB]

Oh, and......

 

Tim for GM!!

 

:w00t:

[srbin84]

I wouldn't mind getting Ron Gardenhire if he becomes available.

[BeerHere]

Joe Girardi

 

Maybe we can send the fish some more pitching prospects and pry Girardi away.

 

No? Well, he should have been offered the job when he was available then.

[3Dog]

Bill James.

Too bad we didn't do this a year ago. Maybe we could have also included Rothschild and gotten Mazzone. :D

Well we missed out on Mazzone, but we can always trade MacPhail and Hendry for Schuerholz...but I guess that could be constituted as rape in most states.

[Laura]

Apparently Fergie wants to manage.

 

I'm just guessing he wouldn't be really big on pitch counts.
