With Bob Brenly not getting much attention for the managerial openings and thus staying in the Cubs' broadcast booth, the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan gives us an update on Steve Stone:

Phil Rogers weighs in on with his speculation on who will be the next Cubs manager: "My guess is the job is [Lou] Piniella's if he wants it, and he probably does."

There's no indication that Rogers has any inside information. Outside of his three years in Tampa Bay, Piniella does have a good -- though not great -- track record.

I do think that Rogers is right about one thing for sure:

The Chicago Tribune's Melissa Isaacson profiles Bob Brenly, and the possibility that he could be a big league manager again soon, perhaps for the Chicago Cubs:

"If the right situation came along, absolutely I'd like to get back on the field. But I don't have to go out searching for that job or be standing by my phone 24 hours a day waiting for the call. I'm perfectly content to do what I do for the rest of my life."

There have been many occasions over the last several years that have provided the Cubs with strong hints that it would be a good idea to get rid of 7th inning stretch guest singer program. Mike Ditka's first crazy man performance. Steve McMichael threatening umpire Angel Hernandez with bodily injury. Ozzy Osbourne's incoherent rambling.

Add what happened tonight to that list. Cubs fans are now booing the help.
