This is the part of the OP that intrigues me. By all accounts, TLR despises the Cubs and everything they stand for, and I shudder to think of him in a Cubs uniform, and I dont think hed ever want to wear one. On the other hand, TLR seems like the kind of arrogent prick who could take the job, on the off chance that the Cubs dont win the WS this year just so he could say that he was the one to finally take the Cubs there and say screw you, your welcome. That is an astute obsevation....for him to take the Cubs to the top without his 'roid laden A's or talent clogged Cards would be like the Holy Grail in his career. The thing is, he won't ever win another WS. Just look at the lineup he put out there on Wed when they lost 10 to 0. And as to this stuff about his winning record, PLEASE! In a 1,000 games with an average W.Sox team he won 12 more games than he lost. And he is not the man now that he was back then.
