A couple days ago the Cubs got rid of manager Dale Sveum. Honestly it was a move I thought was completely warranted, and one that I expected the club to make. Sure Sveum had a rough task trying to fill out a roster and win games while the Cubs were shipping out their better talent to bring in young, promising prospects. Bottom line is this: no matter how shitty your team is, if you're a former hitting coach and your best hitter's average goes from .300 to .280, and then dips even further the next year to around .240 then you're just not getting the job done and a change needs to happen, plain and simple. Now if only we could get Girardi to remember he was born and raised a Cubs fan, went to college in Chicago, and was drafted by them to start his career, then we'd be golden.
PS - I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought this job deserved to go to Ryne Sandberg. Pretty upsetting the way the organization dismissed one of its all time greats.
