An A.C. RANT - Madden is the New Skipper in Cleveland

Brought to you by:

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. 

I’m here today to talk to you about the Chicago Cubs.  

Theo Epstein has been the GM going on year 4, and just acquired Joe Madden as the new skipper. 

Just another boy doing a man's job...

Betwixt the 2 of them, they say all the things that fans want to hear like; “We have a lot of young talent”, “Our future is very bright with the amount of talent on this team”, “We are a playoff team and contender right now”, and “Adding a veteran like Jon Lester to bolster our rotation is definitely something we would like to do”.  

Ok, I like Joe Madden as a person because he has done a ton of things in the community. He is from in Pennsylvania as well as in Tampa, BUT, he is not going to give the Cubby fans what they want, and that’s a winning team.  

Epstein hiring Madden is the real life equivalent of Charlie Donovan signing Lou Brown to manage the Cleveland Indians. Even I got a call from Epstein and when the call came in, I answered, “Tire World.”
 

Madden Knows Baseball

Expecting Madden to have the same kind of success with a young team as he had with the Rays is like expecting Ricky Vaughn to strike out Clew Haywood in the 9th on 3 straight fastballs. 

You banged her, Now Throw the Heat!

And Who cares if Vaughn nailed Roger Dorn’s wife? 

Roger was busted on camera leaving the hotel with the blonde, but I get bro code, and I digress.  

Theo Epstein would have done equally well by hiring John Madden as the manager, at least that way, they would know how to clear the bench and brawl.  

100 Plus Years with not title...Time For The Cubs to Flee The Seen

Anyway, As a St. Louis Cardinals fan, I look forwarding to seeing the “NEW” Cubs in 2015.  

My point is simply this: You can slap on all the paint you want, but the house still needs renovations.  


Cubs finish 15 games under .500 and STL wins the World Series. Oh, there’s a good chance Tom Berenger starts at catcher for Jon Lester’s starts.

Till Next Time...

A.C.
