Good article from Athletic comparing Cubs and Dodgers successes.



Touches upon the which roster/org would you prefer going forward question from Divisional Series thread

You are certainly persistent.

That's one word for it.

Espada too. No thanks on Kapler.

Great piece by Mooney and Sharma on the organizational efforts to assess recent failures and attempt to right the ship. Honestly feels like a no-win situation for the next manager.

I know he's probably just the guy this year that everyone wants, but Espada intrigues me much more than any of these other candidates and I'm going to be very disappointed when we don't hire him.

Probably have least info and opinion on Espada versus the other Cub managerial prospects. Seems qualified and interesting, making him appears the shiniest penny of the bunch currently

YOUR METAPHORS

So, are we really at the point where the Athletic guys are only going to write articles about what has gone wrong with the Cubs?  Man, memories are short in this city.

Those are some pretty large changes.

A lot of it is moving the deck chairs around, but Stone and Breslow are the big announcements there. I wonder if Stone will continue to run Elite Baseball, as that's kind of a big deal.

Most of this feels like theyre playing catch up rather than staying ahead of the curve.

I don't really care as long as it gets the job done.
