Senility Sets In:

Old Goat Bob Verdi, who should just shut up and retire, except that he's one of those old fogey sports columnists who everyone kisses his ass because he's old and senile, writes this piece of shit for Sunday's paper. First there's this opening line:

It's always something with the Cubs and their zany fans. Now the fear is that, should Joe Girardi become available to manage here next year, he might be too hot to handle.

You senile old goat, as a Cub fan, I don't care if he personally tells Dennis Fitzsimmons to go fuck himself. I believe he would be the perfect man to manage the Cubs.
Then later on, there's this:

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. This franchise has not won a World Series in 98 years … and you're worried Girardi may be impatient? The Cubs have been polite for a century … and you're concerned Girardi is overly aggressive? You want a manager or a maitre d'? Would you trade etiquette for a pennant?

I don't know who this dumbass is speaking for. I think most Cubs fans could give 2 shits about Girardi's temperment. We can spot a winner a mile away, since that's usually the only way we can see one. The only place I have ever seen anyone question whether Girardi would be the right manager for the Cubs is in the mainstream media reports that state that the Cubs management is concerned about hiring Girardi. I don't think there is a Cub fan that would question hiring him for being impatient and too aggressive. They may have other doubts, but not for those reasons. I myself said months ago,
in a blog I started and quit on months ago (not unlike how our Cubs played in 2006), that Girardi should be manager and not Baker.
