Managerial Candidate

(All season with very little baseball posts and now you get a ton of them.)

Interesting. I didn't see this coming.  The Cardinals have asked for and received permission to talk to Ryne Sandberg about the managerial opening created by Tony La Russa's retirement.  Although my brother has an unnatural and unhealthy hatred for Sandberg I think his attitude about and approach to the game fits with the St. Louis philosophy.  The more I think about it the more I actually kind of like this idea.

Still, I don't think it is going to happen.  I think if The Birds go with a manager without Major League experience they will go internal to Jose Oquendo.
