New Quade thread.. only intelligent posts please

[derosabomb]

I think the manager should be a fan favorite. I am a big proponent of that. I think the manager has almost zero impact on the game. I dont think Quade will bring anything to the table that Sandberg would have. I really don't.

So I would just rather appease the fans, and make them happy. The second the Cubs start to do poorly the fan base will be all over him. Sandberg and Girardi would have been given at least a leeway period.

yeah poods has a got a real good point. hell most of the cubs fans i know are already up in arms about quade being manager. lets face it most cubs fans are fucking Special person.

Who the flying **** cares about pleasing the fans? That is literally the dumbest reason to hire a manager. If the team is winning it won't matter who the hell is the manager.

Yeah but this team isn't winning.

It still shouldn't be a reason to hire a manager. The only reason why people want him hired is because he is a Cubs legend. It has nothing to do with him actually being a manager.

The only reason why Quade was hired was because the team went 24-13 under him. It had nothing to do with him actually being a manager.

You have any proof to back that up?

A lot of the cubs fans posting in here like to be contrarians. This elitist rhetoric that most cubs fans are stupid and theyre not is people just being posers. In truth, they cant really give you concrete reasons why Quade should be the manager instead of Sandberg...they just want Quade because a lot of Cubs fans like Sandberg. Yeah, a lot of cubs fans are retards...at least when it comes to this thread. I think some of them actually have Mike Quade teddy bears.

Soon as I can get a copy of his paycheck I will have some proof.

LOL, I still haven't seen one good reason why Sandberg should be the manager instead of Quade.

Why is Quade better than Sandberg?

Why is Quade better than Sandberg?

Well for one, he isn't being hired solely on the fact that he's a Cubs legend. He has 4X the amount of minor league managerial experience. Oh and he won't be impossible to fire if the Cubs do bad under him.

This isnt a reason for Quade. Sorry. This is just more boohooing about not wanting Sandberg.

He has 4X the amount of minor league managerial experience.

Which means what exactly?

Oh and he won't be impossible to fire if the Cubs do bad under him.

Sorry, but this isnt a reason for why Quade should be manager either. If youre just hiring a fall guy, you can hire anyone. This doesnt answer, why Quade.


So, in summary, your response is a big bowl of fail. You dont really answer the question of why Mike Quade other than by spewing the contrarian rhetoric that I previously identified.

No thanks. The manager should be the most qualified person for the job at hand. If that qualification is to win baseball games or to develop talent, they need the best guy they feel fits the job. Obviously, the people on top, think Quade is the right guy. I am not certain they picked Quade because they feel he can lead them to the playoffs, but he's the best to develop the talent and caretake the team. It's their call, i have to accept it.

As for managers having zero impact in the game, is one of the most ridiculous comments I have read on this forum yet. Just looking at Texas vs. New York in the playoffs, Ron Washington cost his team a game 1 win because he mismanaged his bullpen. Went with guys left and right without even warming up their best reliever. And, now last night, in game 5, Joe Girardi cost the Yankees the game by keeping AJ Burnett in the game. So don't tell me managers don't matter, it's a bunch of BS.

I do agree with you, that managers don't really matter much of the season. But, talent takes you a long way in baseball and once you find the right balanced lineup, even my grandmother could could fill a lineup card. But, in big games, in games when you're fighting for the division, and especially in the playoffs, managers play a major role. Don't kid yourself.

Not according to kleenex. He thinks theyre hiring him because Quade is easy to fire. And he doesnt know why Quade is the right man for the job other than he's not Sandberg.

Ya you're right, my bad. Ryno definitely would have led us to the promise land this year. Don't know what the hell Hendry was thinking hiring some ****** like Quade.

And I still haven't heard one good reason why Sandberg should be the manager, other than being a Cubs legend. Which guess what? Doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to being a baseball manager.

And so you try to cover up the fact that you dont have an answer with sarcasm.

You still have no reason for why Quade should be the manager, eh. Thats not surprising. At least this recent exchange proves my original observation about you and others being contrarians, if nothing else.

Fox Sports.com reporter Tracy Ringolsby on Quade over Sandberg-

Since his hiring as the general manager of the Chicago Cubs, Jim Hendry's dealt with high-profile managers at Wrigley Field and the feeling that every move needs to have an immediate impact, even at the expense of building a long-range plan.

Maybe that helps explain the 102-year championship drought. Short cuts just don't work.

With Lou Piniella's decision first to retire, and then to leave in midseason, Hendry finally had an opportunity — as slim as it may have been — to try and get a long-term plan in place.

A longtime fan of the managerial potential of Cubs coach Mike Quade, Hendry knew in an offseason dog-and-pony show to hire a manager, Quade would quickly be discarded because he didn't have the sizzle of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg or Yankee manager Joe Girardi or any of the former big-league managers who've become hot items on the managerial front this year.

I don't agree with much of it, but, i figured i'd post it for anyone who was interested in reading it.

I could manage the team and they would still sell out, still sell hotdogs, and still sell Bud Light masquerading as Old Style.

90% of the people at Wrigley don't know/care if there is a baseball game going on. All of you act like this is some big deal, when all it really does is take up extra room in a newspaper.
