I guess Speier is leaving the team..

from what i've seen at iowa, quade is not a very good 3b coach.

I heard the other day on fox or espn, can't remember, one of there" guru's" said that if dusty gets can speir wouldbe the most likely cnadidate.

I want the coaching staff fired and was on the fence on Speier, but come on, Speier needs to go to rehab. You can't expect the Cubs to keep a guy around who was just arrested for DUI.

 

Why do you think he needs to go? A DUI does not equal substance abuse problems.

Of course. The one coach who I didn't hate on this crappy team gets booted because of off-the-field problems. Of course the Cubs don't give a crap about on-the-field problems. They just use the blame game. :evil:

 

Don't most companies have some kind of requirement of rehab when this type of thing happens? Why is it that everyone seems to always jump to unnecessary conclusions about people getting fired? I'm pretty pissed at this organization right now, but if Speier is being granted time to get the help that he needs, I'm happy with it.

 

I think I heard on the score that Speier was going into rehab. I think it was on Scoreboard Update.

I was under the assumption that this was a reoccuring problem. Either way, he needs to be reprimanded by the Cubs or allowed to take time off.

Will his relation to Dusty have any bearing??
