For both the Cubs' Mike Quade and the White Sox's Ozzie Guillen, I think their time in the Windy City is up.
It has to be over for the current regime. Not just double-checked, monitored and supervised, but over.
Randy Wells needs a strong outing when he takes the mound on Saturday against the Houston Astros.
Mike Quade is a nice guy, a good talker, and is very personable. Frankly, I like him, but not as an MLB manager.
A year ago, Carlos Marmol was virtually un-hittable. Now he's Mel Rojas. And the mighty struggles of the Cubs' once mighty closer seems to have everyone asking questions.

Well, the All-Star Game is done. And, in case you stopped paying attention around Mother's Day...or Tax Day, the Chicago Cubs are, too.
By gametime, I won't be surprised to see that Adam Dunn and Randy Wells have been added to the rosters. I was initially taken aback by Aramis Ramirez's decision yesterday to turn down an All-Star invitation, but now I'm with him.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself. The game is a joke but that's a story for another day. What I'm talking about is having a few days away from the terrible season we are witnessing on both sides of town.
Entering the All-Star break with the second-worst record in the majors, the Chicago Cubs are looking forward to the time off. Andrew McCutchen homered and drove in five runs, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cubs 9-1 on Sunday.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Tuesday that Cubs manager Mike Quade will replace Jim Riggleman on his National League All-Star coaching staff.
It was a bad time for the Cubs to face Kansas City right-hander Luke Hochevar. It was an afternoon start and Hochevar excels in day games. Hochevar won again under the sun and Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 13 games with an RBI double in a four-run first inning as the Royals beat Chicago 6-3 on Sunday.
Although the Cubs have been playing better over their last few series, the club still sits under .500 and it's looking more and more like they won't be able to hang around and contend in the division.
There has been a lot of disappointment and anger about the 2011 White Sox. It's justified. The Sox have underachieved. They're still two games under .500.
Despite losing the series to the White Sox, the Cubs are playing much better baseball as a team.
For the record, I personally like Mike Quade. I want him to succeed. I think he's an earnest man with good intentions, but he confounds me.
