I'm not sure how I feel about this. I thought it would be interesting to have the hometown boy and former Cub Girardi give it a shot, but, then again, he wasn't a proven commodity. Pinella has proven it in the past, but he's also been fired a number of times as well.
Pinella has proven also that he cannot win when he does not have talent. The problem with the Cubs has never been their manager. The problem with the Cubs is they put faith in players that do not come through. If any manager does not have their top two pitchers for multiple years, then of course you are going to struggle. Also it does not help that the acquisitions you have made do not come through either. Pinella might change some attitudes, but he is not going to win if they have the same pitching staff.

Peace
