I'm curious... how much did Jed Hoyer share about the Cubs' off-season plans? I can't imagine he'd share a whole lot... but maybe enough for Counsell to sign on? I mean, aside from the 40 million other reasons why he'd sign.
Pretty ruthless, considering Hoyer and Ricketts both gave Ross a "vote of confidence" prior to the end of the season. But if you want to win, sometimes you have to be ruthless.
Now go get him some players to manage!
I remember that combination as well. Caray was as much an entertainer as he was a play by play caller and Piersall was a total loose cannon. Good stuff.
What worries me is he broke a bone doing something routine. Fractures like that concern me; there could be a little more to it. But I'm not a doctor, so...
What's the latest on Cody Heuer? Saw the video of the injury on Tuesday but haven't heard anything since.
Hoping for the best but it doesn't look good.
