It's kind of surprising with the starting pitching they have -- you'd think they wouldn't go on any long losing streaks.]]> Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:07:41 -0700 http://www.thecubsbrickyard.com/sonsofivy/index.php?showtopic=3796 New manager discussion http://www.thecubsbrickyard.com/sonsofivy/index.php?showtopic=3795
The more I think about it, the more I'm liking Ryno for the job -- and not just for sentimental reasons. He was a smart ballplayer, he's proven himself and worked his way up the minors, he understands the unique pressures that come with playing in Chicago, and he would definitely have the respect of the players.
