I'd be surprised if Girardi left. I want someone fresh, not a holdover from the old staff, so even though I like Trammell, I'd pass on him. I'd be ok with Valentine or Brenly, but I think Brenly might have burned bridges with some of the players with his comments. I think Cox is unrealistic despite what Levine guesses.

So.... I'm taking Ryno.

I dont care if he doesn't have managerial experience, to be honest, I'm kinda sick of the sleepy old "experienced" men. He is a Cub, he knows the city, he knows the Cubs culture. Both Dusty and Lou have admitted they were shocked when they got here and found out what it was like. Ryno knows. He seems to be a smart guy and a gerat teacher, who played the game the right way. Most of all he really wants a chance at it. I just couldn't turn him away.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
While Ryno knows the culture because he played here for 15 some odd years, it's way different now than then, right? Expectations have gone through the roof compared to 1982, not to mention the transparency. Ryno's never had to handle the media in a way like he would as a Cubs skipper.
