Well it apparently won't be Francona, officially...

 

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7242337/terry-francona-ruled-managing-2012-not-chicago-cubs

 

Former Boston Red Sox skipper Terry Francona didn't completely rule out managing again in 2012, but he did pull himself out of the running for the Chicago Cubs job and said he would take a step back after not getting the St. Louis Cardinals position.

 

"I don't know that I can confirm that (report that he won't manage in 2012)," Francona said Wednesday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "I talked to (CSNNE.com) this morning and what I told him was that I did interview in St. Louis. I really did want to. It was a genuine interest on my part. And then when I didn't get the job I thought it was necessary to step back and (say), 'OK, what do I need to do?'

 

"I think that is, take a step back, take a deep breath, figure out what I do want to do, so when there is a next time -- and I hope there is -- I'll be refreshed and energized so you can do the job that's necessary. It's a tough job. At the end of every year, you're beat up. And at the end of this year, we were all beat up. To do the job right, you have to be all in, and that's how I feel right now."

 

Francona was passed over by St. Louis in favor of Mike Matheny and was under consideration to be the Cubs' new manager. Francona said he had spoken with Theo Epstein, his former boss in Boston who's now the Cubs' president of baseball operations, but said he didn't think the Cubs' situation was right for him.

I heard Francona pulled out of the job...

 

Thought the last page of this thread was the last time I had read it... and he hadn't removed himself form the equation at that point. derp

Was it today or yesterday when there was a quote about Maddux being undecided whether he would take the Cubs job or not because of family issues?

 

Interesting that soon after Theo Hoyer has his choice. Either one of 2 things most likely happened 1) Maddux made his choice and the Cubs either hired him and moved along to their next choice, or 2) Maddux was not one of the finalists.

Word is we have hired Sveum.

Wow, Theo is kinda cold blooded if this is legit. I kind of like that.

I should put a website up real quick and post an article that the Cubs have informed me that Alomar will be the next manager. I have a 25% chance of being right and nothing to lose.

 

What was that one NSBB spinoff site with a forum that included all Chicago sports? Lets do it on that.

I heard on Lee Elia's Playground that they've hired Maddux.

Sveum is one of the choices I'd be happy with.

Signs point to sveum going with cubs. He's the 1 guy they've interviewed twice in person. Process "moving along" Unless things change.

 

 

Fixed. Lol
