Boy, oh boy

And so it begins for the Cubbies. Are they in for it:

"While managing the Tigers from 2003-2005, Trammell compiled a
186-300 record, including a 43-119 record his first
season."

Piniella hired Trammel as a bench coach.

And retained Rothschild.

*sigh*

1. He's a genius waiting for the perfect fit

Maybe this will be it.

How's that for trying to put a positive spin on things?

7. Since last week.

My personal choice would've been Girardi. Or Brenly. Or Alou. I just found out that Ryne Sandburg was interested...he would've been good.

ANYONE but Lou.

Sheeeeeeesh.

And Alan Trammell. And Rothschild.

It's gonna be a looooooong couple of years.
