Superstar Lamar

The Score has been more than happy to report every bad thought about Larussa and dismiss any good ones that snuck onto the airwaves only because they were unexpected (Holliday, Kittle and Carrington come immediately to mind). I don't like the move but the Cubs' corporate partner is certainly doing its part to shape how it is viewed locally.

somehow, i feel worse today about this than I did last week

looking forward to the return of the mullett

What did he nail...poor sentence structure? and yes, I do dislike him

Let's also not forget that Jimmy denigrated all Sox wives/girlfriends on the air, saying something like that they were gold diggers and specifically calling them "horny broads", so there were some other for cause issued with Jimmy.

JR wouldn't hire Collins for the Bulls a second time because he was overwhelmed by the thought of having to fire him again. I don't see why his line of thinking should have been different in this situation.

I like all this talk about sincerity during Great Pumpkin season

I know we have to have some media watchers on here who will join me in being a little skeptical of the hate for this move being issued by their Cubs radio partner

They almost have to have a young person as a bench coach if they have any care about a succession plan. Not to have one would be unwise in this circumstance

I think he meant social progression

love it or hate it, what's done is done so I hope he is great

he can bring in a slew of old cardinals just to further infuriate the cub media that has fomented the hate against this move

Are we just going to assume that an owner who has been an industry leader in promoting diversity, a team that has had an african american as the in facto and de facto organizational decision maker for 20 years and a team that has had a minority field manager for 18 of the last 22 years has abandoned this long term commitment

76 trombones will lead the big world series parade next year, one for each year of his life

and a reduced closer cost from Colome

I wonder if they hire a younger guy (everybody is younger) like Jirschle to be the bench coach and manager in waiting

I want to hate this but Bernstein hates it and I'll be damned if I'm going to be in a position of agreeing with him

would be funny if he used Your Love as his walk up song Double order of bacon!

I find it hard to believe that JR, a guy who has been a leader on diversity issues in MLB for decades, would actively pursue or even associate with someone he considers to have beliefs counter to the issue

I would be upset if he were the only manager interviewed for the job. Take time. Interview multiple people. Hire the best.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his cup of coffee caretaking.

who was the last head coach with previous coaching experience who JR hired in either of his organizations? That probably collectively goes back decades. On the other hand, the Bulls just hired Billy Donovan so maybe JR is trying something new in his old age

I am pleased

time to hound Bassitt and let him know we can ALSO hit righties

I guess he hasn't learned his lesson about bringing in pitchers fresh off the injured list to face high leveraged situations
