Cubs vs Ryno today ... weird feelings

Weird is right.

I'm one Cubs fan who is very glad they didn't hire Ryno as manager. Do not think he's going to be a successful one.

I think Ryno will be a very good manager, but I'm glad that the Cubs didn't hire him because the way the new owners and GM are going about business, it will be years before the fans ever see any results (if ever). It would be rough on Sanberg's fans to watch his teams suck for years.

Agreed (somewhat). The Phillies may not be good for a while either (as their team gets old), so it may be a struggle there as well. I wanted Ryno purely for selfish reasons and because I thought he was better than Mike Quade and Dale Sveum. I don't think he would have made a difference in the Cubs' current plan of rebuilding, so I agree that it would have been a rough ride.

Well, the season is almost over. Cubs lose to the Pirates in another eventful way. Gregg gives up a HR to give the Pirates a 2-1 lead. Then, Schierholz gets thrown out at the plate to end the game. Pirates make the playoffs if the Cards beat the Nats (I believe).
