Cards Name Matheny Manager

[Rice Cube]

If you mean Robin Ventura and Mike Matheny, at least they've had playing experience at MLB level so it's not like they came out of the blue. Sometimes you just hire someone and hope it works out.

In the Cubs' case they're looking for someone who can actually implement a philosophy on the field instead of bunting/IBBing like a madman :lol:

Why wouldn't Ryno stay as a coach with the Phillies?

Sandberg has shown he has no ego

And finally where is Cubs manager a premier job instead of a stepping stone to just about any other team in baseball that actually wins titles? Comparing the Cubs opening to the Cards is Kool Aid my friends

Maybe because the Phillies already picked up their options on all of their coaches?

They jay open a spot for him as they did the last three weeks or so plus playlets in 2011
