With that tenure and experience im sure he was paid twice what a brand new traveling secretary would normally make. Happens a lot and if you owned a business, makes sense. These such firings probably will save the cubs plenty of money.

This character was obviously the only cog holding them back from finally ending the Drought. The entire baseball world will be shocked, stunned, possibly even surprised if they don’t win the World Series in 2013.

Frakking shame.

Florio would probably know the answer.

A tip o’ the hat to you.

He’s a good guy who always seemed to make time for anybody who wanted to talk to him. I hope he continues his baseball career with another team, and I wish him the best of luck.

“That’ll show you…”, says Manny while shaking his out of work fist at another old traveling secretary.

He’ll probably hire two or three to do the often dirty job one guy handled before.
