Who's Running the Show at Wrigley?
So, you wanna know who's the big cheese, the main man, the capo di tutti capi of the Chicago Cubs, huh? Well, buckle up, because this is about to get interesting.
The Cubs' Captain: Craig Counsell
Let's cut to the chase: The manager of the Chicago Cubs is Craig Counsell. Now, before you start thinking, "Who the heck is Craig Counsell?", let me enlighten you. This guy is no rookie. He's a baseball veteran who knows his way around a dugout better than a squirrel knows its way to an acorn.
Counsell isn't just any manager; he's the kind of guy who could probably manage a herd of cats and still come out smelling like roses. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the point. He's got that cool, calm demeanor that you need to handle the pressure of managing a team with a fanbase as passionate as the Cubs'.
From Milwaukee to Chicago: A Surprising Move
Before he was donning the Cubbie blue, Counsell was the skipper of the Milwaukee Brewers. Yep, you heard that right. A Brewers guy managing the Cubs? It's like the Yankees hiring a Red Sox legend. But hey, stranger things have happened. Maybe he's secretly a Cubs fan deep down? Or maybe he just really likes cheese and beer. Who knows?
So, What's He Like?
From what I've gathered, Counsell is a bit of a baseball encyclopedia. He's probably got stats on every player from the 1800s memorized. And let's not forget his playing days. The guy was a pretty solid infielder back in his prime. So, yeah, he's basically a baseball superhero.
But seriously, Counsell seems like a good guy. He's respected by players and fans alike. And let's face it, anyone who can manage to keep a baseball team together deserves some serious props.
