Reds vs. Cubs

[Sea Ray]

Oh yeah, the undiscipline play of the Cubs is going to cost Quade his job before the break !!!

Hasn't this been going on around there for 103 years? Why can Quade?

I could care less about Quade. Only acknowledging the reason he was given a chance to continue managing was his record after he took over the team at the end of last season. They finished things off very respectfully under Quade's watch and now they have fallen apart. It's certainly not what was expected of the Cubs for 2011. You need not look any further than the game time decisions that are made.

He left Zambrano in there until 9 straight hitters reached base. With a 4 run lead, 6 straight would have cut that lead in half at a minimum and warranted his relief, but no, he left him in there and things got worse. Even if all things weren't Zambrano's fault, he clearly was having issues on the mound at that point.

Yeah, I agree that I don't care about Quade but having said that, he hasn't been very impressive as a manager either
