Dusty vs. Lovie

With nothing new to comment on and all of the blogosphere NOW hopping onto the Jim Hendry sucks bandwagon, I'm looking more forward to this week's Bears/Packers game than I am to spring training, and these are some reasons why:

Lovie's team has an identity, makes no excuses, and plays solid fundementals.
Dusty's team is the Cubs. (the cubs had more of an Identity when they were the loveable losers than now)

Lovie is not afraid to pull his starting QB if he clearly isn't getting the job done
Dusty's boss had to take KKorey out of the Major Leagues for a month to keep Dusty from playing him.

Lovie's has Brian Urlacher, one of the most fundementally sound defensive players in the game.
Dusty isn't a big believer in fundementals, he just assumes that everyone can play.

Lovie's team plays and thrives in sub freezing temps.
Dusty's team complains when its cold, complains when its hot, complains about the day games.

In two years, Lovie has turned a horrible team into a Super Bowl contender
In two years, Dusty has turned a World Series contender into a mess.



Please feel free to add any comparisons of your own.

Ps, there's been lots of starting pitchers being traded and signed. Good thing Kerry Wood will be healthy by um...... wait, I spoke to soon.
