Except Robin has really not paid his dues.

 

 

Holy crap this is a strange hire.

Maybe if Robin Ventura had any sort of managerial experience at all. How do you think Ryno thinks that when he wanted to manage the Cubs asked him to go to A ball and work his way up through the minors managing, which he did without complaint, and then when the Cubs job opened he was passed over, and then he sees the White Sox hire a guy with no managerial experience at all?

 

I was anti-Ryno, and still am, but I can imagine it angers him to see that.

According to Wikipedia, where I went to see if he had ever managed before (apparently not), Frank Thomas will be the hitting coach?

DAMN IT, WHY CAN'T THE CUBS BE RUN BY BUFFOONS TOO?

[Guest]

Oh wait, they were... just not as big.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That's kind of out of left field. All week, I've been hearing Martinez as the favorite, and Sandy Alomar behind him with Francona being discussed.

KENNY ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN!!!

Blackjack McDowell for bullpen coach?

 

Mark Buehrle can be a starter/pitching coach

I remember when the Tigers did something like this a while back. It didn't end well.

The Cubs were very close to doing it last year, and might this year. Lets hold off our laughter until we know that we avoid our own PR move manager.

[Sammy Sofa]

This is gonna be [expletive] funny.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I want to laugh but my Cubfan self says this will produce a WS win for White Sox.

Hiring someone who has absolutely no coaching or managerial experience whatsoever to manage the team? When were the Cubs very close to doing that?

Does Ventura really have 0?

[bukie]

Does anyone have any idea what Ventura has even done since he retired 7 years ago?

[El Duderino]

I've seen him do college baseball games on ESPN.

Depends what you consider zero.

Robin Ventura's only previous coaching experience was as hitting coach for his children's high-school baseball team.
