Will Girardi join Cubs in 2011?

Oh puuuulllllleeeeaaaase! While this would be the fantasy of any hopeless Cubs fan, it ain't a-going to happen. Allow me to explain what this article really means: Girardi might help stir up a rumor about going to the Cubs so that he might get more money or a contract extension from the Yanks. I dislike the Yanks, but any halfway realistic person can see that you would never go from a team that has a chance of winning it all every year to a team that has never had a chance nor will it ever.

only a fool would want to leave the yanks on their own terms.

Never under estimate how full of himself Girardi is...he has always thought he was the smartest guy in any room he enters. He has just enough ego to think he could be the guy to lead the Cubs to the World Series.

Let's see. Would I want to manage a perennial contender with the best lineup in baseball or a group of "lovable losers "?

Bottom line, Girardi is not leaving the Bronx for Chicago. Davey Johnson maybe?

He would be stupid to leave the Yanks

CHi Sox need to promote from within. They have a great AAA manager who also happens to a Cubs legend. The fan base will always remain loyal, so go with Sanberg

Woops...reading several articles t a time..Cubs not Sox

The answer you are probally looking for is "lovable losers "?....

If and when Joe Girardi takes the Chicago Cubs Manager job given a few years or so he'll turn your "lovable losers " into a contending tean in the National League.
Remember Girardi' has turn things around in Florida and with the crrent Yankee job.
Think he still has the ego and brass balls to do it with the Cubs.

No.. move on!

i sure hope not...Yankees for life!

Eric Wedge is the Cubs' man.

Sir, there isn't enough beer in the world for me to think that it is possible with any manager.

you want to be a legend ??... then go get the cubs a world championship... whoever does that is a legend forever... win in new york, and it's ho hum... there's a reason there's a ton of people that want that job...
man, you new yorkers sure think the world revolves around you !

Ho, hum. Always the BS in baseball. It's all about the $ anyhow. Even without "The Boss" every Yankee manager is hanging by a thread everyday.

Agreed.... He will use the Cubs against the Yankees but for a professional stand point he would be crazy to leave the Yankees... UNLESS the Cubs make him one hell of an offer and the Yankees refuse to match it... Which I could see the Cubs doing... Over paying for Joe and Joe taking the money to manage "At Home" in Chicago....

You got to remember Joe now has 4 world series rings... 3 as a player and 1 as a manager for the Yankees... His "Legacy" as a manager would be much more greatly enhanced if he went to Chicago and turned that club around than staying with the Yankees... He has little left to prove since he has won it all as a player and manager...

I see him staying in New York but if the Money is close I could see him taking off for Chicago to try and really make a name for himself..
