I know we are all heart broken over this...and while I put out there my suggestions as to who should replace Lou next year (Ryne Sandberg, Alan Trammell, Joe Girardi, Fredi Gonzalez), my Brewer fan co-workers had a number of suggestions for who should replace Lou next year themselves.
So here are their suggestions, in order of who they like the best (and their reasoning behind the choice):
- Tom Berenger (Didn’t you watch Major League?)
- Rod Blagojevich (Because he could do dirty political things to win the World Series)
- Oprah (She could just buy a World Series title)
- Hugh Heffner (Never an empty seat at Wrigley)
- Betty White (Everyone loves Betty White)
- Bugs Bunny (Best cartoon pitcher of all time)
- The singer of the Take Me Out To The Ballgame from the previous game. (You need to give those people more to do)
- Mark Grace (Because he can drown his sorrows in some drinks after each loss)
- Ken Macha (Because the Brewers really don’t want him)
- Corbin Bernsen (See Tom Berenger)
- Dolly Parton (No reason given)
- Larry Flint (He drools less than the current Cubs manager)
- Don Zimmer (He did a good job last time…didn’t he?)
- Jose Canseco (He’ll get those guys pumped up!)
- Kosuke Fukudome (Because the Japanese are just smarter)
- Mark McGwire (See Jose Canseco)
- Tom Selleck (That mustache!)
- That guy who starred in Barney Miller (Same as Selleck)
- Courtney Love (She’ll have those guys wired before every game)
- Me (Because they don’t want to work with me any more)
