The All-Purpose No Bullshit Tolerating Who Should Be the Next Manager Thread

Phildo: GIVE RYNO THE REINS!!!!11!!

Maybe he would flame out spectacularly. Maybe he would turn into a North Side version of Ozzie Guillen, without so many expletives having to be deleted.

It's a roll of the dice.

I say put the bones in his hands and stand back, hoping that this time next year — or the year after that, two years after that, even three years after that — Cub Nation rings with cries of "hot shooter, hot shooter.''

Sure. Fuck it.

Shawon Dunston with the ringing endorsement of his double play partner:

Former double-play partner Shawon Dunston, in town as part of the Giants' coaching staff, was a little surprised by Sandberg's post-playing coaching experience.

"When we sat around when we were young, we all knew Joe Girardi would be a manager, we knew Ryno would be a Hall of Famer and we knew Andre [Dawson] and Greg [Maddux] would be Hall of Famers. But no, I never envisioned Ryno being a manager."

Dunston, who played next to Sandberg for portions of 10 years, hasn't been in touch with him since spring training.

"I hear he gets thrown out of games," Dunston said. "He never got thrown out when I played with him. That's kind of funny, right there, because he'd only say three or four words a day when we played together."

Can we add Cito Gaston to the list and cross off Ryno?

At least he didn't say "knuckle babies, knuckle babies".

Admittedly I haven't watched more than a handful of games all year, but how is quade when it comes to in game decisions, etc?
Granted their schedule now is pretty easy, they have no pressure, etc.. I'm assuming quade will be our manager going forward, especially if they keep winning..

How many others on this "long list" are Hall of Famers? Fuck yeah, cross him off.

Shit, he might as well start looking at homes in Toronto today.

Or Seattle. Or Phoenix (where he already has a home). Or Milwaukee.

Interestingly, Kevin Towers took the job in Arizona and said Greg Maddux has a standing offer to be pitching coach, bench coach, bullpen coach, equipment manager, bullpen catcher, left fielder, manager, whatever he wants.

Why doesn't anyone want Jim Hendry or Randy Bush?

Not Phoenix, Gibson is staying.

Is this a Shoutbox joke that I don't understand?  In the past 28 days, they've laid down 7 successful bunts.

This is about that one time that Quade made Castro bunt with two men on as some sort of "learning experience".  So naturally, this means he bunts a lot.  And no, I'm not going to address the irony in the fact that a self professed "stat fag" is basing his entire opinion of Quade on a single instance of bunting.

Or maybe I am.

Just referencing my accusation that Sandberg bunts too much based off of something I heard on the Score. I didn't really know what Quade's feelings on bunts were. Just poking fun at him.

BUT....

What is a "successful" bunt?

I forgot all about that actually
