Eerie... I find myself agreeing with Jay Mariotti more and more..
Jay is saying the same thing I said the other day, only in hundreds more words....

Please. Cubdom doesn't want Bochy, Lou isn't coming and, last I looked, three other major-league teams are seeking managers, a total to become four if Torre is fired. At least one of those teams, the Washington Nationals, openly covets Girardi, and so might the Yankees, who groomed Girardi as Torre's bench coach two years ago. So don't be foolish, Mr. Hendry. If Girardi fits whatever plan the Cubs are assembling and if he wants the job as badly as it appears -- is there a local TV or radio show he hasn't done in recent days? -- then execute your deed. Announce it later, if need be, but get it done.

Absolutely, Jay. By himself, Girardi won't win the Cubs a pennant - Krispy Kreme Jim still has to put the fork down and get better players - but at least Girardi will be passionate, and force the players to be better fundamentally than Baker ever did.
