    Boring people like to be bored. Or baseball is a game based on a pitching STAFF, so some people would like more than one game. I understand why people like the one game. I understand why people like the three game series. I understand why people don't even want the second wild card. There is no correct way of doing it just differing opinions. Baseball is not a game based on a pitching staff. And it's not like you win the World Series with one game. A 3 game series is just as random and "meaningless". If you don't like it , win your division. Pit still has to go into round 1 without Liriano until late. This is not the easy road. It is fun and enjoyable and entertaining. Baseball needs that more than it needs more non-deciding 4 hour games.

    Well, he should be on a different time but it's too late for that.

    cool

    OK, that's weird, albeit not exactly a committal response either way. Others have picked up the quote as, "I wouldn't comment on that". That would make more sense. I have another TV feed audio and may have missed it.

    On a side note, these ridiculous media members call him "Cash" when asking him a question.

    OK, that's weird, albeit not exactly a committal response either way. Reading between the lines I am guessing, completely guessing, they are prepared to move on and let Joe go after some conversations with everybody tomorrow. They are about to start a new era. On Cano: We'd love to have Robby back. He'll have something significant to consider.

    will the cubs ask permission to talk to Joe? "I wouldn't count on it." It's hard for me to answer that, it will depend on my conversations with Joe (and a bunch of NYY front office names). That will pick up tomorrow, I will talk to his representative tomorrow. It will pick up steam then.

    and now he's on to challenges of roster makeup.

    Thumbs up he did a great job. (when asked if he is going to return) I think he likes it here. I can't speak for other opportunities. We are going to give him a lot of reason to stay. We hired a good one. We benefited from having him, would like to keep him, you will have to stay tuned in to see how it turns out. Most important thing is he knows we want him to stay. He'll have decisions about what's best for him and his family. I can't predict.

    Cashman is on YES Network right now. He sounds like he's talking about Girardi right now, talking about how well he has done since Day one. "The talent that he had to work with this year was significantly less than other years but he stayed the same."

    So then ownership tells management to put more emphasis on winning at the major league level. They don't say, hey, go hire that guy to manage the team. They give them the resources to get better sooner, and the mandate to win games.

    What the hell does synergy have to do with anything? What is the decision that goes hand in hand? In what way shape or form is it helpful to have ownership influence the decision to hire a manager?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    It's weird. There's a synergy between the business and baseball sides that has to be there and more revenue = more winning. Decisions like this can go hand and hand that way. No, not at all. A winning team drives interest in the team and revenues. A big name manager accomplishes nothing. The only people with input should be the baseball people. Hey, thanks for including the rest of my post that acknowledges and agrees with that. You can't have it both ways. You insinuate there is nothing wrong with business people having input into the decision about who should manage the team, then state the complete opposite. I was specifically addressing your point that these decisions go hand in hand and there is some sort of synergy involved here. There is not.

    How would you have preferred the two way tie for the final WC spot to be resolved? Exactly how it was, but the Wild Card series should be a minimum 3-game series. Winning 1 game to qualify to play another 1 game is just dumb. 1-game tiebreakers are just fine, but 1-game playoff series aren't. 1-game WC matchups are awesome. Having them play three games while everybody else sits around and waits would be dumb.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    You think a selling point for Girardi on the Nats job is that DC is only a few hours drive from NY?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Ridiculous was being kind. It is stupid. This isn't baseball you can't just compare those stats and say they are similar.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Colston and Brandon Marshall have remarkably similar career numbers, so unless you consider Marshall a random, then Colston sure isn't. That is a ridiculous comparison.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    says they have had contact with representatives long ago Referring to Girardi or someone else? Girardi. Or at least he insinuated very clearly it was Girardi.

    Agreed, calling it a Cup or bust situation doesn't really hold up. Maybe if they are an 8 seed that gets embarrassed in the conf finals you can call it a bit of a disappointment. But as long as they have a good regular season and advance of the final four, I can't complain. It will be a bummer at the time, but still a successful season.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    What the what?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    We can try it again next year and try to get it going a bit earlier. Yeah sounds good. maybe try a midseason start?
