Jim Hendry will be making the call on the next Cubs' manager, but apparently he won't be able to do it alone.
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said president Crane Kenney also will be involved in the managerial search.
"Crane will have a role in this," Ricketts said. "He's got a lot of experience here and he's in charge of all the business operations, and I think he will add a lot of value to the process."
Ricketts also was asked if the Lou Piniella era was a success without a championship in the last four years.
"Our goal is to win the World Series," he said. "Our goal is to put a team on the field that can win the World Series every year. I can't envision an era without that and still calling it a success, no.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Fuck. Seriously? Strike two for Ricketts.

Honestly, how can Kenney do worse than Jim? I'm almost glad that there will be another body at the table in this decision.

There's a reason I stopped listening to Buster Olney a long time ago. Mentioning Torre and LaRussa as potential candidates only solidifies my reasoning.

Someone prior in this thread mentioned a new pitching coach, but can we all agree that Rothschild has done a great job with our staff these last 4 or 5 years. I seem to remember a bunch of you getting on me for saying that he was doing a good job, injuries are not a coaching problem (a coach can't <i>make</i> a player change the way he throws the ball), and that his overall job was a little overstated anyway. Butcher comes to mind as one of the key naysayers.

Now it's just a matter or Ryno or Girardi. I just hope one of them can deal with this mess!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It would be interesting to know who we are actually targeting. IMO, the GM is FAR more important than the manager, so I really have no major preference. Girardi would be nuts to leave NY, but a lot of us preferred him to Lou 3 years ago, so if he's available, he'd be a solid option.
I do hope they at least <i>consider</i> Brenly.
FWIW, although I wasn't doing cartwheels at his hiring, I think Lou has done a fine enough job here. He won 2 division titles. He was more forward-thinking than I'd anticipated. We've had much worse.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree about the GM. But we don't have a choice on it looking at the media reports. I didn't mind Lou, but he definitely seemed to lose control over the clubhouse. He also seemed bored the last couple of years in the dugout. I call any year we take the Central from the Cards a success!

I don't care much for Rosenbloom, but he's spot on here...

I felt like he was putting words in Piniella's mouth, but maybe that's just me.

I feel like putting a cock in your mouth. Not my cock -- just some random cock.
