A.J. Hinch doesn't exactly get me excited. But honestly, I'm up in the air after Girardi.

@AndrewMarchand: Filed news story on Girardi; Yanks haven't heard his decision yet, prepared to give him all the time he needs

‏@thekapman: Breaking News..Manny Acta in Chgo to meet w/Cubs. Sandy Alomar not serious candidate. Padres bench coach to interview Kaplan: Acta arrives to meet with Cubs | CSN Chicago

‏@Padres: #Padres announce the club will bring back all seven members of Bud Black's coaching staff for 2014 season.

‏@philgrogers: One of Joe Girardi's friends tells me he won't be surprised if he turns down Yankees' offer. Return to Midwest very tempting for his family.

@CubsDen: Dave Martinez a candidate per @csnmooney. He's a guy I really like, but didn't get feel they were interested. Glad to hear he's in the mix.

@CubsDen: Was told that Alomar is still in the picture, but a bit further back then thought. Acta may be the guy the FO has at the top of the list.

@CubsDen: Aside from skills in development and analytics, Acta alleviates communication issue because his thought process is already similar to FO.

@JulieDiCaro: I feel like the #Cubs should be getting MORE confident in getting Girardi as time goes on, but told they feel LESS confident.

Family issues win out.

@YankeesPR: Yankees announce Manager Joe Girardi will be back for four more years after signing a contract through the 2017 season

@thekapman: Girardi's family is very comfortable in NY and the 4 yr deal will pay him handsomely. Cubs now must find the right guy.

[Hammer]

sounds like we're all disappointed by that decision.

But seriously, I am disappointed, though I'm not really surprised. Nothing about Acta or Hinch excites me. Bleh.
