....Well That Didn't Take Long

Buster Olney just announced on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike (and was confirmed here) that Cubs President Andy McPhail is stepping down and is likely taking the CEO of Baseball Operations for the Orioles. Buster also said that Angelos is interviewing Joe Girardi today and considering his history with McPhail, it would seem all the dominoes are in place for the end of the Perlozzo era and the beginning of the Joe Girardi era. This may also signal the end of the Miguel Tejada and Melvin Mora era as both surly players will not really mesh with Girardi's no-nonsense style. The next month or two should be interesting in Charm City.
