I'm good with it. Had they somehow managed to land Girardi, it would cost them some astronomical figure that the next GM would be saddled with. Now, they can fire Hendry and if the new guy likes Quade, yay. If he doesn't...

But I hope Quade wins four World Series championships in a row with teh Cubs.

I like the move too. He's competent and the upgrade to Girardi is probably not worth the cheddar considering the financial shithole this team is in. Here's hoping the hairless weirdo is a winnar.

I don't hate this at all.

BC's against it.

Link?

I'm pretty happy about it. It's as happy as I've been about a Cubs move in a long time.

This only serves to remind me of the drunken conversation my friends and I had in a Pittsburgh (Yep, that's right) hotel room when we went to see a few games at PNC a couple of years ago. It was with Quade's girlfriend. She was a sexy old cougar who told us that Fuky loves his Marlboro Reds and that Quade doesn't have a single hair on his entire body. It was...gross. 

I'm on board, as long as he doesn't teach Starlin lessons by benching him for long periods of time.

I was just wondering about this - is Quade the first hairless manager in baseball history? Maybe TJ can weigh in on this historical query.

Not sure where one would look to confirm this, but let's assume it's true.

I'm a little surprised they gave him a 2-year contract. If Hendry's fired at any point this year, it doesn't look good for Quade.

Unless they're 11 games over .500 and looking like a sure bet to get swept in the first round of the upcoming NLDS.

I'm not.  It makes perfect sense.  Why tie a replacement for Hendry into ANOTHER long term contract?  And what was Quade gonna do?  Ask for more?  He has no leverage whatsoever.

Hendry was just given another year to try to fix the third mess he created.

Toward the end of the week, when columnists, have run out of relevant things to write about, you can expect to see this show up in the Sun-Times.

Quade's in a tough spot. The team will not be good, the GM is probably on his last chance, and the inevitable bad start to the year will lead to the meatheads bemoaning the missing out on Sandberg.

I like the fact that the Cubs made a smart hire here, but it should have been done with a new GM.

Probably, except for the ones who went through chemo.

I think Stan Sitwell did a short stint with the Rangers in the late 70s.
