JOE GIRARDI RUMORS & GOSSIP

Girardi Was Never Interested In Cubs Job

Before the Chicago Cubs hired Mike Quade as their next manager, there had been a lot of speculation going on throughout Chicago media and the Cubs fan base that the Chicago Cubs were delaying their Managerial hire, because they wanted to have a chance at nabbing Joe Girardi from the New York Yankees. But despite this speculation, I always felt that Joe Girardi would never leave the...

Girardi Still In Cubs Picture

There is no doubt that the Chicago Cubs have been thorough with their managerial search, trying to find the best possible candidate for the vacancy. It is believed that their managerial search is down to two candidates in Mike Quade and Ryne Sandberg. With Quade being the apparent favorite to remain as manager. However, Rick Morrisey of the Chicago Sun Times suggests that the reason...

The Case For Joe Girardi To Leave NY

Prior to the opening stanza of a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox last month, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi addressed recent speculation surrounding his interest in the Chicago Cubs’ managerial position. Girardi, a native of East Peoria, Illinois, is in the final year of a three-year, $7.5 million contract with New York and has already become the fourth...

The Cubs Should Run Away From Giardi

Joe Girardi continues to be thrown into the Cubs managerial search daily. I’m going to say this one time. RUN HENDRY RUN. I am not a big believer in Joe Giardi, and I don’t think he’s the guy to get things done in Chicago. Look- he’s winning in New York with a team that has a 300 million dollar payroll. Great. I’m there there is 1000 people in this country...

Girardi May Not Fit Cubs Timeline

There is no doubt in my mind that the Cubs leading candidate for their next manager is Joe Girardi. But one factor that I’m sure many are overlooking, is the fact that Girardi may not fit into the Cubs timetable as far as when they would like to have their new manager. Jim Hendry told reporters in July that it would be a long process, but he would like to have a new manager...

Chicago Cubs could target Joe Girardi for their next manager

With the managerial vacancy in Chicago and the expiring Yankees’ contract of Chicago native and former Cubs’ catcher Joe Girardi, it seems like a perfect match. George A. King III of The New York Post suggests the Cubs could ask Girardi to manage the team next year. “It will be something I have to deal with but my focus is here,’’ Girardi said on Monday. “The...

Cubs Managerial Candidate: Joe Girardi

This hire almost makes too much sense. Joe Girardi is a Chicago guy through and through. He starred at Northwestern and came up through the Cubs system. He has long openly coveted the Cubs’ managerial job even while with other organizations. When he was a Cubs catcher, he was a fan favorite for his hard-nosed style of play and cerebral approach to the game. Matt Lindnerâ€...

Joe Girardi Will Not Be The Cubs 2011 Manager

One things that I do not get with Cubs fans, is the favor or having someone who use to be a Cubs become manager. Just because they use to be a Cub, does not mean that they would either want to become the Cubs manager, or are capable of managing. The two popular names that everybody seems to be throwing out there are Ryne Sandberg and Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Joe Girardi is not...

Joe Girardi: Congrats But No Congrats

I'm torn. I'm acting like a selfish little brat right now. I should be happy for Joe Girardi on grabbing the New York Yankees managerial position, but I'm not. Call me a bitter Marlins fan, but what should have been a follow up season to build on turned out to be a major step backwards. I can't help but wonder if it's partially the managers fault. It's not...
