I'm thinking that Thursday's Chicago newspapers will make quite a lot of the way the Cub manager, not the pitching coach, marched out to the mound in bottom of the 9th inning, delivered an ear-blistering address to Ryan Dempster and returned to the dugout all in the space of about 20 seconds, after which Dempster closed out the inning and secured the win.

I hope they make a big deal of it. It was fabulous.

Nice to have a real manager.
