Mike Quade to represent Cubs at 2011 MLB All-Star Game: A fan’s reaction

Mike Quade will officially be an All-Star in two weeks.

World sequence champion manager Bruce Bochy required an additional manager on his coaching staff members for that 2011 MLB All-Star gaming soon after Jim Riggleman's unexpected departure through the Washington Nationals final week. New York Yankees Jerseys Quade is heading to be that replacement.

This may be the next manager within the previous few days which has revealed respect toward Quade regardless of the Chcago Cubs' 32-48 start, MLB's next worst record. The Cubs possess the NL's next greatest payroll.

Riggleman also complimented Quade when requested about him final week:

"I've managed versus him. hideki-matsui-jersey He's seriously good. He's obtained a excellent bench mentor in [former Nationals coach] Pat Listache. I'll inform you what, he is typically a sharp guy. for all those who create a residing managing versus him each day, if your group isn't far better than his team, you're not heading to beat him."

Quade can be becoming defended by past players. joba-chamberlain-jersey Matt Stairs(notes) performed for Quade at Double-A Harrisburg around twenty many years ago. He talked about how Quade attempted obtaining his group out of the batting slump by obtaining them strike balls up the center whilst he was fifty ft away—unprotected. Quade was struck using a collection generate at almost 100 mph. He ongoing to mentor the drills. johnny-damon-jersey Stairs praised his management throughout the incident.

(No concept how that tends to make him a leader, but I digress).

I've been really dissatisfied with Quade for the reason that I think he has mismanaged the lineups, the pitching rotation, and doesn't set the avid gamers within the most beneficial places for victories (e.g., Albert Pujols'(notes) walk-off situations). However, I'm nonetheless delighted for him given that this can most likely be his only chance to undertake this. lou-gehrig-jersey He's experienced a 17-year minor-league managing job that is nearly 2,500 game titles prolonged and appears for being loved by his teammates and managers. The Cubs aren't heading anyplace so it's not like I treatment about home-field advantage.

I'm a softie. Now that Quade is anticipated for being about the 2011 NL All-Star coaching staff members as properly as the Cubs' period is basically more than prior to the midway point, mark-teixeira-jersey I wish that Quade isn't terminated inside of the up coming two weeks. possibly he can choose some brains of managers on pennant contenders. possibly he can understand a little something which will aid him in Chicago.

Maybe he can market among the pitchers on heading for the Cubs after their contracts expire.

Joshua Huffman grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula like a eco-friendly Bay Packers and Chicago Cubs enthusiast. mike-mussina-jersey He instantly gained an admiration for Cubs fans soon after seeing many game titles on WGN throughout the mid 1990s. His preferred Cubs moment in time was Kerry Wood's(notes) 1-hitter, 20K extravaganza that was only denied of the no-hitter by Kevin Orie's defensive blunder. like a Packers and Cubs fan, he suffered via Steve Bartman and "4th & 26" inside of a span of 3 months.
