Gonzalez spurns Cubs, waits for Braves?

Would much rather have a guy like Torre

Please let it be Ryno. Come on Hendry, you can't f*@# this up, just pick Ryno.

Given the choice, who wouldn't rather manage the Braves over the Cubs? The Braves seem committed to putting a competitive team on the field infusing youth and veterans. Every year they are contenders

The Braves aren't looking for rockstar managers. They want someone who's part of the Braves family to continue the Bobby Cox legacy. Freddi did a nice job with the Marlins, a team that jettisons talent faster than a prostitute creates a happy ending.

Fredi, come on over right now. This team needs someone to light a fire under their collective arses because Cox sure as hell isn't doing it...and neither is Pendleton.

FIVE hits against the Nats?! that is not how you handle the last place team in your division and it damn sure isn't gonna get you to the postseason.

Can the Braves talk to Gonzalwz, he is unemployed, maybe he knows something, extreme frontrunner indeed.

Marlins were stupid to let this guy go.

Someone must have talked to Fredi from the Braves organization. You don't turn down a job unless you are pretty sure that you are going to get a return later.

I hate IBM, but if I was unemployed and IBM asked me to interview for a position, I'm there. But I would turn them down cold if Accenture called me and said that they're going to employ me in a couple of months. And if there's a guarantee of some kind that it's so.

But you don't turn down an interview for a job for only the chance to interview somewhere else. You interview everywhere that it makes sense.

Marlins don't want to win. They just want MLBs money.

Don't blame them. There stadium is a joke and who wants to see a team in Miami in the summer.

This is a BFD....Rhino already has the job. If he doesn't chicago will hang Hendry by his nuts.

I do blame them and you should too. The excuses they use for taking the money and not putting anything back into the team is really ridiculous, and these particular owners have a history of doing this before they owned the Marlins. The stadium they demand is just another in a long line of handouts that these owners are to receive.

i guess gonzalez could start another run like cox did on the 90's with some good luck ofcourse!!!

They're getting a new stadium with a retractable roof, I think, next year. So that excuse won't hold water anymore when they draw 800 fans, including the peanut vendors.

I'm a cubs fan and I'd like to spurn them but its hard to undue 28 years of following my now unlovable losers.
