    Looks like Hendry has a beer. Or could be bacon grease in a glass, since it's Hendry. I don't follow. Nevermind.

    "The manager is a very important piece of the puzzle," Epstein said. "He's the leader of the major league club. I'd say we are moving forward with that, and we are probably in the sixth inning of the process. We have another candidate or more, then we will move forward into the decision-making phase. We will eventually catch him up to our process and our plans and get his input as well as we move forward." One caller inquired what type of attributes Epstein is looking for in a manager. "In the real world, it's hard to find a candidate that has everything you're looking for," Epstein said. "What you do is you weigh your variables and make your sacrifices where you have to. Often times, if you're going to take a candidate without previous managerial experience, even at the minor league level, he has to represent real upside in other areas. In that case, you have to do even more due diligence than you normally would because you're projecting him into that role."

    Main article on Chicagosports.com right now saying Francona is trying to fly under the radar and " deep down,badly wants to manage the Cubs."

    Nov. 14-15: General managers' meetings, Milwaukee. Nov. 15-16: Owners' meetings, Milwaukee. From MLB calender

    You mean the gm meetings? Yes, whatever it's called..The GM meetings that take place every November. your right.
  8. PrimeTime
    Aren't the fall managerial meetings in a week or so? I would imagine they name their skipper this coming Monday or Tues before the meetings take place.
  9. PrimeTime
    If he didn't want to manage,wouldn't he just pull himself off the table and decline all interviews? He said he still plans on meeting with the Cubs on Wednesday. Also,said he is going to discuss it with his family tonight.

    Isn't there some action going on today? I think Maddux was supposed to be interviewed last week, but was sick , so I believe he might be interviewing today...Im hoping it's him or Martinez who gets hired.

    All these names sound good, but most importantly I just want a guy who can manage a damn bullpen and pull a starter when he's gassed and not leave in Dempster in when he's obviously throwing beach balls up there and putting guys like Grabow in the game in critical situations. Also, not put Koyie [expletive] Hill in the game when Geo is on the bench in a pinch hit situation with the game on the line. We need the Anti-Quade-Piniella.

    Front runner already? Isn't there like a handful of people left to interview? Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times writes that Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux "seems to be a front-runner" for the Cubs' vacant managerial position. Not only does Maddux appear to be the favorite for the job, but, if he's hired, he could bring in his brother, Greg, as part of his coaching staff. Greg was a special adviser to GM Jim Hendry last season, and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein last week invited him to return to the organization. The future Hall of Famer has been hesitant to return to baseball full-time due to family reasons but reportedly could change his mind if his brother is hired by the Cubs.

    SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Red Sox and Cubs have both asked permission to interview Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux for manager. Related: Cubs Source: Jon Heyman on Twitter

    Looks like the Cards are interviewing Francona tommarrow.
  17. PrimeTime
    I hope when Theo said it, it kinda looked like vintage Vince http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/34286_401927665221_128474550221_4529772_8132109_n.jpg

    Didn't see this anywhere According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Cubs are interviewing Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin for their managerial vacancy. The Red Sox interviewed Mackanin for their manager job on Monday, but it looks like they have some competition. While the Cubs have already ruled out Ryne Sandberg as a candidate, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times hears that Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux and Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum are on their short list.

    lol, the news that Ryno won't be manager comments are always good comedy over at chicagosports.com ToddInABQ at 3:58 PM November 2, 2011 Cubs will screw this up again and Ryno will get hired by the Cardinals of all teams then I will never be a Cubs fan ever again. pfpowers at 3:52 PM November 2, 2011 TYPICAL STUPID CUBS MOVE. Hire Ryno idiots. Ryno and Cardinals will sweep Cubs. ChicagoAnnie at 3:32 PM November 2, 2011 If the Cardinals hire Sandberg, the Lou Brock trade will become the second worst mistake in Cub baseball history. The next couple years will be building years anyway, a good chance for Ryno to get all the experience he'll need for 2014 or 2015. Because if we don't get Ryno now, we lose him forever. juanita b at 2:52 PM November 2, 2011 I can't believe it. The Cubs are AGAIN ignoring Ryne Sandberg. Someday, they are going to regret this decision when Ryne Sandberg coaches a winning team to the World Series.

    So I'm assuming this is the wife who got plowed by numerous players? http://images.bleedcubbieblue.com/images/admin/corncobdress.jpg
  21. PrimeTime
    Does this mean Riggins is gone too since he's part of "Quade's Clan" or we have to hope he get's canned to?
  22. PrimeTime
    The Cards can take Sandberg for all I care and most of the rest of you, but imagine the reaction from all the ignorant, homer Cubs fans. Ugh,that's gonna be annoying if it happens.

    He says money isn't a factor and I recall him one of those players like Berkman who hates Wrigley.. At this point I mentioned to Mark that if he did actually sign with the Cubs, there would be major concern about the mental well being of many White Sox fans. “I could see that. I don’t know if I could get up for that many day games. I’m not a morning person. Spring training is about it. I need some sleep.” Then I pulled this up from 2 years ago "I mean I can't speak for them (critics of Wrigley), but I dislike Wrigley that much," Buehrle told Dan McNeil on the Danny Mac Show on WSCR-AM 670. "I joked around with somebody the other day, saying I don't know if I could even sign with the (St. Louis) Cardinals, as much as everybody knows one day I want to play for the Cardinals. "I don't know if I could because that means I'd have to go to Wrigley three times, and that's how much I hate going over there."

    I hate that to get these in studio things with CTL I have to put up with that dbag. Show was much more tolerable before CSN brought him aboard. Thanks for the heads up though. I'll be watching. I just found out while browsing around. Unfortunately, I'll miss it with being at work. It's always interesting to hear what the guest has to say though while Kaplan complains,calls everyone lazy and being a huge dbag. If you can, post a recap of anything interesting that happens on the show. Thanks

    Hoyer will be on Kaplans show at 5:30
