I commonly see people say that Sandberg is a bad choice and I seem to recall him being a bunt-a-holic but is there any other juicy quotes or stats backing the "he'd be a terrible manager" opinion?

Phillies extend Howard

Maybe, maybe not. Who's really in the market for a first basemen and prepared to spend cash? The Yankees and the Red Sox both have those positions filled, and the Mets already had their spending spree (and burnt once already with Carlos Delgado) and may be satisfied with the Ike Davis spectacularium. In fact if anyone is gonna go off the reservations with a first basemen contract, its us. (For better or worse, I wouldn't mind a young-ish Adrian Gonzalez banging it for us at Wrigley, remember that series in 08 when he seemed to hit a home run in every at bat?) -
It's because we had a fighter's chance in the series' against those teams. We never had a shot in this series. I wasn't even really upset that we were mauled today. The only reason why I don't want the Cavs to win the title is because I want LeBron to be so pissed off at the organization that he decides to bolt. Other than that, I wouldn't have a problem rooting for them at all. LeBron could really only be upset with himself. The Cavs had some glaring matchup problems with the Magic last year, and for the most part they went out and fixed them. They also added another very solid offensive option in Jamison. The Cavs have, by far, the most talented roster in the Eastern Conference. Although, Orlando still scares the hell out of me. They have the best inside-outside game in the NBA, and if they get some hot shooting for a few games in a row, there really isn't a whole lot that the Cavs can do about it. I think that if both teams make it to the ECF, Vince Carter will be the most important player in the series. An Orlando-Cleveland ECF rematch would be a really awesome series, and though it seems predestined, with the way the whole playoffs thing goes, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the teams doesn't make it there. For whatever its worth, the playoff simulator on espn predicts a 55-45 Cleveland favorite in such a scenario, so basically a toss up.

If there is anything you can be sure of in this life, its that the Cardinals will manage to piss you off anytime you're mildly happy
-
Owns we end the scoring like how we began it
-
if A-ram strikes out or GIDP I'll be...I'll be really dissapointed
-
ahahaha just seeing "jeff baker strike out" compounds the bad plays by lou GET SOME RUNS GOD DAMNIT ITS NOT THAT HARD
-
runs, runs you fucks you fucked up by not owning lannan when you had the chance, now just end it you worthless fucks
-
Its actually impossible for me to hate Adam Dunn, even if every single at bat of his from here on out was a home run He is the most lovable of players, and the most underappreciated (or overappreciated if his defense is truly as bad as some say it is, regardless he kicks ass)
-
The odds that Marmol gives up the game here are astronomically high I'm gonna go to the gym, this isn't worth watching
-
I am filled with raw seething rage
-
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE THE CUBS
-
someone please tell me koyie hill isn't up there batting (bunting) please tell me this
-
Don't worry DLee will be long gone before we get that SS
-
Hold on to yo butts
-
Score some runs you fucks
-
Just win the game nicely, cleanly and quietly cubs no extra innings nonsense
-
John Lannan is a very very bad pitcher And there is no way we score more runs against him
-
GOD DAMNIT
-
Lannan still throwing an absolute ton of balls guys just don't swing ever
-
noooo silva don't blow up now i know, i'm sorry we didn't score more runs and i udnerstand your frustration, but dont bring it out like this
-
Lets get a million billion runs in this inning plz
-
Yo, Theriot, this is one of the few times I want you to put a ball in the air because you are destined to hit into a DP right in this situation
-
Well, I'm not worried about us scoring runs validating moving Z to the bullpen, because that makes no sense...but I would be worried if Z continues to look amazing in the pen and helps us win games while we have other starters out there struggling Basically any excuse to pull Gorzellany or Silva out of the rotation down the line would be a good one (its only a matter of time folks)

Also this makes them sending Lee off because he was too expensive to keep (8 million a year) really look ridiculous How about you don't extend Howard, you give an extension to Werth, keep Lee and win the World Series this year? Nah?
