Can the Cards please fire somebody? Heck just throw somebody in the front office off the top of Bush. Anything to bring some hope back to the fan base?

You've pretty much ruined the thread so if I tell you that we all get it, you don't like the Cubs, will you go away? Your posts are poor trolling and flat out false.

1 game out, when majority of teams who were supposed to complete were bad. this will go the other way.

you lose one of your best pitchers, and bellinger is gone. Bellinger is the only reason us sniffed a farce playoff, nope didnt get it run.

Absolutely, even the trolls know...it's why they are trolling.

Some will argue the significance of a manager in MLB and yes I get that, but I have absolutely no doubt this move is significant. Counsel is just a better manager by any measure - step No. 1. And I think it signals this ain't over and Cubs are going to be big players in the FA and trade markets.

That would be my only reservation if I were a Cubs fan. The history of all sports are filled with coaches/managers that consistently overachieve with lesser talent, but they fall short when they take that step up into an organization that gives them all the tools to succeed.

Being a scrappy underdog that wins more games than they should takes a different approach than a team that’s expected to win pennants and championships.


Like Joe Maddon? What’d he ever achieve?

Someone didn't take the news well.



I get being upset but vandalizing a little league park is trashy.

Seeing Cubs fans on X was fun.

One posted "we got the greatest manager in the game today". First response: "Bruce Bochy has entered the chat"

Bochy might disagree. Four reasons.

All you gotta do is remind him of how good the Cardinals are at trading:

Alcantara (Cy Young), Zac Gallen (Cy Young candidate) for Ozuna

Adolis Garcia for Cash

Randy Arozarena and a comp 1st for Matthew Libertore and Edgardo Rodriguez.

This. Will always love Grandpa Ross, but not making the playoffs with one of the best offenses in baseball is doodoo, especially in the fashion they did it.
