I have a feeling we would all hate Vizquel because the word is he likes bunting as much as Ricky.  I would definitely be cool with Girardi.

Vizquel at least lets his fast guys run/steal bases.

You are probably correct but Gerardi would be a signal to the baseball world that thing have changed on the southside.

Girardi going to the Cubs this offseason is the worst kept secret in baseball

Yeah, good point.

Cease has kind of righted the ship.  Still have high hopes for him in the long run.  Growing pains.

No, you need to reserve all your power and ridiculous posts to defend Abreu and his .791 OPS and shoddy defense.

Jose is winning that poll on soxtalk by a 3-1 margin on both questions. A lot of peeps agree with greg but must be shy about posting. Jose is a likeable guy by all accounts. Don't see why you and others would be so vocally against him when we haven't played a meaningful game after mid July in many years.

That would be a nice change of pace.

Then we should sign Maddon. New set of eyeballs. Why not?

Until he bunts way too much 

As soon as he goes from stretch, he totally loses it

You definitely see the good with the bad with him.

That's Cub fans who have soured on Maddon for his odd use of players in nutty positions.  I think Gerardi would go to the first Chicago team who offered the job.

He was solid after that second inning.

More like most money...  and the Cubs would easily win that contest.

Most money and most likely to win.  Thats the order of what it would take.

Yep.  Sox don't pay big money for managers as history has shown.  And the Cubs will have a better chance of winning next year than the Sox.

And prestige. Girardi is choosing the Cubs over the Sox 100 out of 100 times

We could have the opening tomorrow morning.  Not likely the Cubs would do that.

Remind me what team did he play for again as well.

Yep, he would be a fan favorite for all the older fans who remembered when he played for them.

All the better way for Gerardi to show how good he is.

Ummm, no.  If Ricky is getting fired, it will be at the end of the season.  Reinsdorf doesn't like paying out contracts for people not to work.

The only way Ricky wont be here next year is if Omar gets a job offer from a MLB team.  Otherwise Ricky will be here until he doesnt want to be here.

You are reaching, dude.  It isn't going to happen.  Keep dreaming.  Hasn't history taught you anything?

In every game pitched Cease has had one really shitty inning, then usually settles it down. This is part of making the jump. Gonna be some hiccups. Good time to have them, sort things out when the wins don't really "mean much".
