2010-10-20 13:00:00Do you think the Cubs picked Mike Quade because he'd be both cheaper, and easier to fire than Ryne Sandberg?
(wizened cubsfan from downstate)		That's pretty cynical. I was listening to an interview with Quademodo today and was impressed by his perspective. The Cubs did quite well under him in a small sample, but he KNOWS it's a small sample. He came off as intelligent and reflective, and not at all over-impressed with himself. Now, there are those of you more immersed in the nitty-gritty of Cubs action than I was this year who might tell me that he's worse than Jim Essian, but my gut feel is that this was a choice made on the merits, and not a bad one. (Steven Goldman)
2008-09-12 13:00:00Hiya Christina ... happy Pennant Race to you! Worst in-game manager: a) Ned Yost b) Clint Hurdle c) other
(dianagramr from NYC)		Hi Diana, happy pennant races to you too. I know Yost and Hurdle get banged on, but I saw Jim Essian, and skip(s), you're no Jim Essian. That said, I'd like to spend some more time looking at boxes from Maury Wills understandably similarly brief and bad tenure running the Mariners. (Christina Kahrl)
