| The Cubs' new Theocracy |
| Fri October 28, 2011 2:29 am |
Observations, insinuations, ruminations and unvarnished opinions
. . .
AS THE
PHILLIES tiptoe into what promises
to be a daunting offseason of adding and subtracting, healing
bodies and mending fences, one pervasive fear seems to be gripping
the fans.
Manager-in-waiting Ryne Sandberg will be managing somebody's
big-league ballclub in 2012. And it will not be this one.
Many of you immediately concluded that Sandberg was gone the
minute former Red Sox child prodigy Theo Epstein was hired to use
his big Harvard brain to awaken the Chicago Cubs from 103 years of
stony sleep.

As political alliances go, St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster and
Pinellas County Commission Chairwoman Susan Latvala could be on
their way to becoming the Bickersons of Tampa Bay.
Latvala was all too happy to toss Foster under the bus the other
day. But then again hizzoner already had helped her along by taking
the first step off the curb.
According to Latvala, it seems the mayor was channeling his
inner Chatty Kathy when he called the commissioner for a little
confabulation and suggested the
Tampa
Bay
Rays might be purposefully
suppressing their attendance figures out at the Quonset Hut in
order to bolster the team's argument it needs a new ballpark.

| Wilken a happy camper;Incumbent scouting director says McLeod's hiring 'brought a smile to my face' |
| Fri October 28, 2011 2:29 am |
The
Cubs executive who might have the
most right to feel threatened by the latest round of hirings in the
team's top baseball offices sounds a lot more encouraged than
anything else.
Maybe that's because Tim Wilken knows new baseball president
Theo Epstein's history - and plans - for putting financial and
intellectual resources into scouting and player development.
Maybe it's even more about how well Wilken, the
Cubs' incumbent scouting director,
knows the new scouting executive Epstein just hired: Jason McLeod,
who now oversees both scouting and player development.

| Beating Phils in May was key for Rangers |
| Fri October 28, 2011 2:29 am |
ST. LOUIS - You already know how integral the
Phillies were to the Cardinals'
making their unlikely run into this year's World Series. After
swatting away all contenders, including three of four in Milwaukee,
the
Phillies lost three of four to the
Cardinals at home in mid-September. Then there was their sweep of
Braves at season's end, which allowed baseball hottest team to
replace its coldest team and well . . . you know the rest.
Or do you? Before last night's Game 6 of the World Series, Texas
manager Ron Washington was asked whether there was a key turnaround
moment for his team this season. And wouldn't you know it, it
involved your
Phillies .

| GAME 6 | RANGERS at CARDINALS;Returning to the flock;Old Sox always find their way home, so why not |
| Fri October 28, 2011 2:29 am |
ST. LOUIS - One way or another, old
White
Sox always find their way back to
the South Side.
No one saw it coming, but Robin Ventura did it. Frank Thomas -
against enormous odds after being called an ''idiot'' by general
manager Ken Williams - did it. Maybe Ozzie Guillen will do it
someday.

| King for a Jay (or five)? |
| Fri October 28, 2011 2:29 am |
From Richard Griffin's blog:
Q. The three following pitchers should be considered by Alex
Anthopoulos for the No. 2 pitcher in the
Blue
Jays rotation: Felix Hernandez,
Ervin Santana or Dan Haren. All three are No. 1- or No. 2-quality
pitchers. Granted, Hernandez will be expensive, but that team needs
positional players - catcher, first baseman, outfielder and a
high-prospect pitcher. I believe one of the California pitchers is
a better possibility. Your thoughts?
