I have a cold or allergies or something. I turned in early last night and am still getting caught up with the news.
But I really think next year might just be the Chicago Cubs’ year to take it all.
After all, they just fired their manager, Dale Sveum.
Today’s decision to pursue a new manager was not made because of wins and losses. Our record is a function of our long-term building plan and the moves we have made – some good, a few we would like back – to further this strategy. Jed and I take full responsibility for that. Today’s decision was absolutely not made to provide a scapegoat for our shortcomings or to distract from our biggest issue – a shortage of talent at the major league level. We have been transparent about what we are, and what we are not yet. Today’s decision, which was painful for all of us, was made to move us closer to fulfilling our ultimate long-term vision for the Cubs.
Uh-huh. Pull the other one, Theo; it has bells on it.
Also, Paul Pasqualoni, head coach at the University of Connecticut, is out after starting the season 0-4.
