A potential Cubs manager who makes questionable moves? He'll fit right in. I wouldn't annoint Girardi the next Cubs manager just yet, though. There are apparently several other candidates Hendry is reportedly very interested in interviewing, including Fredi Gonzalez - third base coach in Atlanta. Hendry supposedly loves this guy.
FYI to the Nats fans, with Frank Robinson exiting DC, the Nats are also apparently interested in Gonzalez - at least according to reports in Chicago.

According to sources with the marlins, Fredi Gonzalez is going to be named the new Marlins manager shortly after they announce that Girardi is parting ways with the team tommorow. THey wanna do it quickly for precisely that reason: the nats and cubs have shown interest. He was third base coach for the marlins for quite some time, as well as manager in the minor league system, so I would imagine he has a preference toward coming to south florida (not to mention the team has more promise than either of those other clubs). Then again, last year they also said that the hiring of gonzalez was immenent, only to go with Girardi instead.

Supposedly it's down to Girardi or Lou Piniella, though I'm sure Hendry can manage to hire neither of these desirable candidates. I guess I have no real feelings toward whomever the Cubs hire, because its likely hopeless for that poor guy no matter what.
At least, for all you Cubs fans out there, it looks as though Larry Rothschild could be retained as pitching coach regardless of the new manager Hendry hires - which means Wood and Prior will continue perfecting their towel-drill motion, leading to their maintaining their status as "Most Dominant Simulated Game Pitchers of All-Time"
Gee, I can't wait for 2007.

I feel bad that the Cubs are gonna kill poor Lou. Seriously. Kill him.
The worst part? There is a real chance that the Cubs are gonna be worse next year. [shudder]

At least they hired Alan Trammell, who has experience with losing over 110 games.
