Love the Cubs? Have an opinion? Want to express it in a forum read by dozens of Cubs fans on a bi-annual basis?
Then we're looking for you.
Hate getting paid to do stuff? Live in your parent's basement? Think you know more than everyone else, so much so that you create your own forum to prove it? Then we're also looking for you.
Towel Drills started last year as a way for a few friends to share their Cubs rants with even more friends. Somewhere along the line, you, Cubs Fan, started paying attention. Before long, Towel Drills was bigger than Jebus. And now we're asking for your help to continue to grow TD into the Blogawesomeosphere.
TD is looking to take on a few additional writers for the upcoming season. We need people who can commit to posting on a regular basis and who have access to post throughout the day. We're specifically seeking at least one "news man" who can post breaking Cubs news the segundo it drops. Freedom to also write about what interests you in relation to the Cubs we can offer. Any other form of payment, monetary, seshual, or other, we cannot (but only b/c the seshual thing is illegal).
If you're interested in trying your hand at blogging, hit us up at toweldrills@gmail.com. How you "apply" is up to you. Send us some writing, some ideas, an 8x10 glossy of Ronnie Woo Woo (please, don't), send bags of cash (please, do)-your call. We're looking forward to adding some talent to the staff and to continue making TD the best gosh darn TD it can be!

I heard a Cincinnati beat writer comment on this today. He said that one of the biggest problems with Krivsky is that he isn't the best "people person." A longtime Reds scout, responsible for discovering and signing Johnny Cueto, left the team because the two didn't see eye to eye, and Krivsky often left him out of important meetings that usually included the team's scouts.
I think I would've fired him for letting Dusty walk all over him. Seriously, the team names Dusty Baker manager in October 2007 and thereafter, they sign Paul Bako, Corey Patterson, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Kent Mercker. I think a GM needs to discuss things with his manager, but not let his manager pull this.
One thing to consider...the draft is about 2 months away, with college and HS baseball heating up. While the GM doesn't usually fully control the draft, their input is important. The Reds are in the seventh slot in the draft, so they have a big opportunity to add to their system.

John Fay's Reds Insider blog for the Cincinnati Enquirer has some good notes on Krivsky's axing. (This column is almost always pretty good reading). Per owner Bob Castellini, "It was time." Are ya kidding me? We've played like 20 games this season. The guy has been there less than 3 years. If he would have said "I'm in man love with Walt Jocketty," I would have believed him. But "It was time"? Bunk.
