7/5 Cubs (Maddux) @ Braves (Colon) 6:35 PM CSN

So like who are our options as manager is Dusty gets fired?

 

I think we've got a good one in the booth.

 

for interim, i'd think they'd go with Rothschild, but i sure wouldn't mind Brenly as the manager down the line. At least he seems like a guy that would actually have Hairston and Walker 1-2 in the lineup every day.

 

He has at least won a World Series.

And Brenly has all but said he'd go with his best OBP options head of Lee, Burnitz and Ramirez.

Chip is scared that someone is about to get hurt :eye:

[Flames24Rulz]

they actually restarted the game..

[bhogg]

i think Ronnie Woo Woo woold be a player's manager.

 

He's got spunk and what not.

 

 

Woo Woo for manager!!!!!!

[E.J.]

I think Speier would become interim manager if Dusty were fired.

[bhogg]

they actually restarted the game..

 

 

it's not over?

 

 

I turned it off after maddux imploded with 2 outs in the ??th inning.

Weren't Baylor's last days as a Cubs spent in Atlanta just before the ASB?

[Jon]

Those are some large puddles along the track.

[Chris]

Wow Chip, zip it!

[rickrolled]

Actually, he was fired on July 5th, and yeah, it was during a series in Atlanta.

[Flames24Rulz]

Novoa allows 2 runners to get on with 2 strikes on both of them, but K's Andruw Jones to end the inning.

 

Novoa's ERA is now down to 2.57.

[otis89]

Alright, Walker, Hairston, and Burnitz due up. Let's get something going, please.

[Chris]

Let's all try to score 4 runs on one swing!

 

GO ROCK & JOCK!

[otis89]

This team depresses me.

[Kellehers homer]

You know, I don't think the problem is Dusty. I just don't. How many wins would another manager have with an outfield like the Cubs have? With a bullpen that had Hawkins as its closer? With a GM who thought Nomar was actually going to be a productive player for a full year? Dusty can only work with the hand he's been dealt. I'm not crazy about some of the moves he makes, but I don't put this all on Dusty. I put it on Hendry giving us a bloated, slow, strikeout-prone team that is brutal in clutch situations.

[Buford T Justice]

Does Dusty actually do anything other than sit on his butt?

[rickrolled]

Yes, he chews on a toothpick.

I meant to add that..

Wow. A hit.

65% Dusty

 

35% Hendry

 

I won't even rehash the innumberable reasons why Dusty is more to blame than Hendry again in this thread.

[Kellehers homer]

No, go ahead. I'm all ears.
