Tony La Russa knows the division and is just a phone call away. If the owner wants a yes man with a championship pedigree large enough to coax fans there to pay the utility bills. 

Not to make this about me but GOD I F***ING HATE JERRY REINSDORF

Blessing in disguise.  Bring Yadi in as a player manager.  Pujols to be the PED consultant.

Does that include Jake Arrieta as the pitching coach reporting to Albert then?

He's the supplier.

I am choosing to look at the positives - I have much greater empathy and understanding of how the Cardinals fans feel.

The anger at leadership and the system Brewers fans are grappling with is exactly what Cardinals fans felt on January 6.

[Its DJOver]

You gotta at least call Billy Donovan.

[Lennys Tap]

Considering how he managed in the wild card round, a whole lot makes sense now.  Good luck, Greg

1919 part II?

1919 part II?

I'd love to know the dynamics between the staff and front office and putting Winker on that roster.  Using Winker in important spots twice seemed odd and I have jokingly said at the games I wonder if Counsell is sticking it to the front office using him in those spots.

Of course, his hands got tied when Ace of Aces, Corbin Burnes wet his pants and Woodruff got hurt

but what about chicago

but what about chicago

Craig is used to living in whitewashed areas of dangerous cities

This thread to me makes it seem a little more than money. Definitely Mark saving some face, but if Craig was kind of checked out from September on, that's not the best look.

Yes. It was about a fuckton of money, and an owner not willing to fork over enough of it to optimize what should have been a legitimate 5 year contention window

I don't think he's wrong about bridges being burned going to the cubs.

[Hards Alumni]

I don't think he's wrong about bridges being burned going to the cubs.

What if I told you that Craig doesn't need those bridges?

[Uncle Rico]

I don't think he's wrong about bridges being burned going to the cubs.

Doesn't matter. 

[Dickthedribbler]

No one associated with the brewers has sent dongs anywhere the last 3 years

I thought we were all being sent a dong when I watched Jesse Wanker walk to the plate to pinch hit in the bottom of the 8th of game 1, with the game still very winnable at that point.

[cheebs09]

I'm probably too invested in the drama of it all, but pretty surprised we are about 24 hours from the news getting out and Counsell hasn't made a statement.

[Hards Alumni]

What should he say?

So long and thanks for all da fish?

[Uncle Rico]

His agent did.  He'll do the professional thank you and how hard a decision it was and that'll be the end of it

[4everwarriors]

Maybe heel take out a full page add on Scoop tankin' all da wonderful posters heer fore der support, aina?

[tower912]

You got your wish.   Be happy.

[4everwarriors]

Oh, did Mark sell, hey?
