Well, then you're an asshole.
Unless you've only had that horrid sweet one with raisins, because that kind should be condemned to an eternity being ordered around by octogenarian Jewish women complaining that "it's too cold in here" even though the thermostat is set at 82.

Potato kugel also sucks.
I peeled and shredded 10 lbs of potatoes once like a common TEC, and that was the end of that.
Straight-up noodle kugel, not sweet, just thick, eggy and a little greasy.

Try "catering" the latke half of the Latke-Hamentashen Debate with a total of two people and only a six-pack of Ballantine tallboys. I've yet to come across a Hillel kitchen that didn't look like somebody had just suffered a psychotic break.

My mother used to get a breast of veal and then cut a pocket between the ribs and the meat, and stuff the pocket with a well seasoned (garlic) potato kugel and bake it with onions and olive oil. Is it any wonder that I now swallow Lipitor like after dinner mints?

I also can't believe you guys would actually think the Cubs would give thought to hiring Joe Madden. Fools, the whole lot of you. I know I'm in the minority here, too. But I don't really care if Sandberg is the manager. He's just the manager. As long as he doesn't Dusty a lineup or our starting pitchers, how bad can it be?

Noodles, eggs, sauteed onions, maybe some sauteed peppers too if you want to really bring down the house.
Add in lots of salt and pepper, though as a nod to IAN, I do love throwing in some Tony C's instead of salt.

That's what the cubs need.
I can't tell if you're being serious- but I am curious to see what teams of shit have made the playoffs in the last 120 years.

If the World Series had actually happened in 2006, I would nominate the World Series winners from that year. Good thing it was canceled due to lack of interest.

Teams of shit that won the World Series? Here are a few:
1985 Royals
1987 Twins
1988 Dodgers
1990 Reds
So the Cubs need Dick Howser, Tom Kelly, Tommy Lasorda or the guy who managed the Reds. I wish they had one of those guys.

Dammit people, you're getting way off message. The point here is that Chuck was wrong about Joe Girardi and anything else he says or suggests should simply be dismissed because he was wrong about that one thing that one time.

To get back on point, what kind of manager is Ryne Sandberg? He was my favorite player as a kid, and I have nothing personally against him. But what kind of manager is he? Andy kind of touched on it last year. We know he gets kicked out of a lot of games. We know he sells tickets. We know he talks a good game about "fundamentals" and "playing the right way." (Does any manager advocate sloppy play and doing things the "wrong way?")
But how does he handle his bench? Pitchers and bullpen? Do players enjoy playing for him? Now that he's in Iowa, he gets to manage a few veterans (think: BOBBY SCALES, SAM FULD, Mark Johnson, Jeff Gray, Jason Dubois, Hoffpauir). What do they think of him?
If Sandberg's so great, why hasn't he set Jeff Samardzija on fire yet?

If his autobiography is any indication of his managerial style, then he'll be all too much akin to Dusty Baker. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he expressed a lot of shock and disappointment when the Trib let go Sutcliffe and Dawson, despite the fact that both were on the tail end of their careers (and indicative of a "my guys" mentality) among other concerning things. Then again, I read his book during the worst of the Baker years, and maybe I was a little too sensitive to what I perceived to be DustySpeak.

If I recall, he was also shocked that Doug Dascenzo wasn't made the starting centerfielder.
Of course, Barry Rozner collaborated on it, so who knows how much of it was actually Sandberg's thoughts. The part where he says that Trent Yawney deserved Norris consideration in 1991 makes me suspicious.

Get ready for the Sandberg era!
QuotePiniella told Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune that he will finish managing this season, but won't take another managerial job afterwards. "I know that this will be my last managing job," Piniella said. "I do know that for a fact."
I don't think he ruled out an extension; he just won't start over elsewhere.
Damn it, Brownie. Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg is coming home to RESCUE THIS TEAM. I bet the first thing he does is insist on reacquiring Mark DeRosa and Kerry Wood. What do you have against HOPE?
He's going to hire Mark Grace as his hitting coach too.
Well, at least I know I will have my summer's off for the forseeable future
Why? Do you operate a taxi service for drunk fat chicks?
For some reason I picture BBM (who, I'm sure, looks like the hot dog dude from The Simpsons) waiting outside of Grace's house all day.
"Lady, he's put my kids through college".

I wish I looked like that and I should've made myself clear. If the Cubs hire Sandberg and Grace. I won't watch the cubs for the forseeable future because they will be assrapingly brutal.
Now, if they hired the Hawk as manager that would be the balls even if they stunk like hot rat ass.
Hawk for manager.
Hawk for general manager?

Can anybody tell me if Sandberg knows how to manage a baseball team? What has he done at Iowa? What has Iowa done since Sandberg? I don't care if the players like him. The players liked Dusty. I don't care if he gets thrown out of games. A drunken fan who runs out on the field naked is going to get thrown out of the game too. I don't care if if he chatty as all hell. The guy next to me at the last game that I went to was chatty and I wanted him to be thrown out (and to stay off of my lawn). I only want to know if he can manage a team any better than my deceased mother in law can.

Since your mother in law is dead, she is presumably unable to call for first-inning sacrifice bunts. Therefore, she'd be a better manager than Sandberg.

Sight-unseen, the consensus opinion of everyone on this messageboard is "probably not." Hope this helps.

They're 1.5 games out of first in the PCL. Good?
Seriously, you have a point. We haven't heard anything about how he manages in game.
And why is Iowa in the PCL? Shouldn't that be reserved for the SF Seals and the Oakland Oaks and the Hollywood Stars?

I looked at some of Iowa's stats and I didn't see anything alarming, like too many times caught stealing versus successful steals. A lot of Iowa's players are AAA or AAAA types, and he's managed them to a winning record. But as far as bone-headed strategy decisions or bullpen management, I have no idea.

I have heard he buys into that old-timey, "Let's bunt!" shit. That's a strike against him in my book.

I wonder how Sandberg's career would have gone if he'd have bunted every time Dernier led off by getting on base.
I think Sandberg will be like most managers, give him good enough players and he's probably not going to fuck them up. Give him shit players, and no amount of "managing" is going to win anything. Hendry's the problem here, I'm not real concerned about who manages the team at this point.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in that it is kind of nice to know your players can do things like lay down a bunt when it's necessary. Now, if he's doing the first-inning sac bunt or the bunt the guy from 2nd to third, that's dumb, but wouldn't it be nice to know that if you need a run and have a guy on third, the hitter can execute a squeeze?

Yeah. If at that presser, they annouced Sandberg was manager, but Hendry was leaving, I'd be overjoyed.

I know there's virtually nothing else to judge him on, but is Sandberg's minor leage managing necessarily indicative of how he will manage in the big leagues? For example, presumably there would be more of an emphasis in the minors on bunting, stealing, etc., and other ways of "playing the game the right way" that most sabremetricians hate. But maybe it's necessary to do these things more often in the minors to teach the lil tykes how to execute successfully what the manager wants done (damn the consequences to the teams's chances to win the game).
Please, God, let that be why Sandberg bunts in the first inning.

I guess I look at it the opposite way. The primary focus of the minor leagues is to get young players as many at-bats as possible so they get better. Any any time a player bunts, that's a wasted at-bat in terms of the player's development. I suppose it's useful to have guys bunt in game situations, but bunting is far easier than hitting. Save it for practice.
But all indications are that Sandberg thinks that bunting is some sort of way to honor and respect the Game of Baseball. His Hall of Fame speech indicates that pretty clearly:
QuoteThese guys sitting up here did not pave the way for the rest of us so that players could swing for the fences every time up and forget how to move a runner over to third, it's disrespectful to them, to you, and to the game of baseball that we all played growing up. Respect.
A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation. I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel. I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect.
If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.
And just for posterity's sake, Sandberg had 31 sacrifice bunts in 9,282 career plate appearances.

Save it for practice? Would that not be a waste of pitches from whoever is firing real-life stuff at the would-be bunter? Or should they just bunt off the pitching machine throwing straight stuff at them while the fielders do something? I think you have to bunt in games in order to learn how. Some guys really shouldn't be bunting at all in games though. Like big dudes with serious power and hairy anuses.

And I heard it from some guy on the Score who said he was following Sandberg's progress over there. That's all I had to go off of. A little research gave me those numbers.

In 2009, the Tennessee Smokies were 2nd in the Southern League.
In 2010, the Iowa Cubs are 8th in the Pacific Coast League. They have 40, and are on pace for 60, in 144 games.
And I heard it from some guy on the Score who said he was following Sandberg's progress over there. That's all I had to go off of. A little research gave me those numbers.
So right now the Iowa Cubs are 8th out of 16 teams. That doesn't sound like a significant number, or one I should be concerned about.
Except maybe for the other three seasons.

Do we know what inning they were made? Do we know by what position in the batting order?
Every single one was made by the cleanup hitter in the first inning, with a man at first and one out.
When was the last time you were in a fist fight?
Tsk tsk, Eli isn't trying to prove his manhood. Besides, Todd, it's not like I asked you if you'd
won.

Please, God, let that be why Sandberg bunts in the first inning.
Quote from: Eli on July 22, 2010, 01:38:38 PM
But all indications are that Sandberg thinks that bunting is some sort of way to honor and respect the Game of Baseball.
Add in Yeti's "I have heard..."
From where have we heard? What indications?

I'm pretty "meh" on the prospect of Sandberg as the manager as I think the manager doesn't factor in the team's win-loss as much as sone people do. Here's a nice statfaggy outlook on managers: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wakamatsu-and-others-fired/
I especially like the part about salaries.

2. It's tough to tell if they deserve it or not
3. Profit?

Dave Van Dyk just told Mully and Hanley that Quade has the leg up for the top step full-time next season. He said Hendry really likes him, as he hired him in the first place. He agreed with what Dolan's been writing, that the Cubs hired Sandberg as window dressing and sent him deep into the minors in hopes that he'd get bored and quit.
According to Dave, they're hoping the Cubs finish with a .500+ record under Quade to make it an easier sell. The fans are going to absolutely fucking hate this.
I don't know how I feel about it, having yet to hear boo from Slezak on it, but it seems like Hendry would get the blame for the Quade hiring when the Cubs suck next year and both guys would be gone. That would open the door for the Maddux/Sandberg/Maddux/Dernier/Varsho/Wood regime to take over and save our motherloving souls.
Fuck.
I'd be ok with Quade.
But I'm also self-aware enough to know that nobody gives a shit what I think.

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=403055&src=152 (http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=403055&src=152):
QuoteIn-game managing: Part of the fun of following baseball is discussing the manager's moves the next day. Sandberg says he prefers an aggressive style of managing.
"I think I go with what players I have," he said. "I let the players use their abilities and what they're capable of doing. If they're capable of stealing bases, I'm going to give them the green light. I'm going to teach them to pick their spots and to get a base when they can get a base.
"I like movement on the bases. I like to hit-and-run. I like to go for the win and force the issue and try to win a game as opposed to sitting back.
"It's somewhat gut feeling. It's somewhat experience. It's all those things making a split-(second) decision. It's whatever the game calls for at that time, and whatever my instincts tell me to do."
Well, it doesn't quite settle the question of how many times Sandberg calls for a bunt in the first inning, but I'm worried that it's time to sell high on my Sandberg memorabilia.

I'd be ok with Quade.
But I'm also self-aware enough to know that nobody gives a shit what I think.
I know little of Quade but for some reason, I have "FAIL" stuck in my mind if he's the manager in 2011.. I GOT A FEELING
I'm amused that someone would have WIN on their mind for 2011 regardless of who is hired.
This.
That.
Those.
Them ones.
Them there.
That there.
