Didn't Theriot get on with a sleeve-assault? I believe he was hit squarely in the back. The hell he was. I laughed way too hard at that. I'm tired and confused...damn youse all!
Y'know, I couldn't tell you a single player's jersey number on ANY team. I just either know what they look like or rely on the radio/computer/TV to fill in the rest.
If they fire him or convince him to retire, I think it'll kill him. If he keeps the job with as bad as the Cubs are now and probably will be for the next few years, I think it'll kill him. If the Cubs somehow pull off the miracle of miracles and get to the playoffs in that same time, I think he's still doomed since either the excitement of winning or the despair of losing will kill him. Poor Santo.
