As far as Tito at the helm of the Cards, I think you could do a lot worse...:-) I understand your concerns about how he left the Red Sox. But I think he will use it as a learning experience, and while his style of management won't change significantly, he will be more aware of these kinds of issues, and perhaps be able to more effectively head them off at the pass. And don't forget, a number of the players who in the past have been leaders of the Sox fell down and did little or nothing to stop the skid... And, of course, if the Sox had won 1-2 more games, we probably would not be having this conversation...:-) I think Theo and Tito need a break from each other–towards the end, it just wasn’t work for them anymore, which is why I think Theo needs to make a clean break and hire someone else to manage the Cubs.

Most other Cards fans are picking Francona as their desired next manager, but after his team went AWOL on him this year, I'm a little more skeptical. What do you think?
