As much as people want to blame Dale.
Theo Box Office and his minions made this team blow chunks, not Dale.

Yeah, to an extent. But the Cubs wouldn't have lost 90+ games if Dale knew how to coach, plus mess with the "core" players.

I think it'll be more like a Lovie Smith firing. Everyone thought he was gunna stay, then BANG!

No, the previous owners/front office did that as they lost roughly the same amount of games as this year. Theo and company just haven't made them any better yet.

I never did like the hire. So I hope the Cubs do the right thing Monday.

They must be getting better. The Cubs will have the 4th pick in the draft next year. :clap:

Lovie Smith coached a team to a 10-6 record, and was one game away from the playoffs.
Dale Sveum coaches his team to a 93 losses (so far) and his team was out of the playoffs in August - maybe earlier. I'd say that this was nothing like the Lovie Smith firing.

Yeah I know, but a lot of time you know if a manager/coach will stay or go. I was positive Smith would stay, then he was handed the pink slip. No one exactly knows if Sveum will go. Most said earlier (about a month ago, including me) Sveum will be back. Now we have all changed our mind.

I don't think anybody is blaming him for the team's record, and the team's record is not why he is getting fired.

I'd keep Bosio. What he's done with the pitchers he has been given are all signs of a great pitching coach to me.

Yeah, that would be fine. But many believe if Girardi comes here, he'll bring Larry Rotchcild (sp) back.

The problem is I'm not sure Joe is thinking he wants to go from 90-72 to 72-90

joe girardi decision is not going to based on yankees and cubs previous records..
his decision if he decides to come here will be based on coming back home and thinking he can be the guy to get this team to the world series and be a legacy here if he does..

Dale shouldnt be let go cause of record. THe team he has is AWFULL. Full of players that were DFA by other teams. He should be fired cause of what has happen to the young players. Castro went from a 2 time All Star SS to a .240 hitter. No body ever thought Rizzo would be a .220 hitter. Barney went from being ok 2B for a contender to being a player that shouldnt be in MLB anymore even with that glove. Shark been getting worse instead of better. Cubs CAN NOT allow Dale to manage the young core coming up in Baez, Soler, Alamora, Bryant etc. To much prove of young players regressing under his watch. So its time for Dale to be FIRED

We will start competing next year and if Dale is gone that would be the plan. If he stays expect another real tough year 
. He was just a rental. He lacks so many things imo.
I am optimistic he will be gone and we can start competing. We really aren't far off. Replace barney and valbuena with good young players such as baez and bryant all of a sudden you got a good squad. Rizzo will bounce back and so will Castro imho. Rizz, Castro, baez, bryant, castillo, lake, and whoever else is a very solid hitting team. Also, our pitching looks bright. We got some real nice young arms such as Grimm, Edwards, Pineiro, Vizcaino. Then a guy like Russel and Kyuji are nice.

I don't want Rothschild back and I don't understand why he's so highly regarded. I think he's terrible. I'd love to see Girardi come in and bring in Maddux. Either Maddux.
