  • Hendry Fired

    The Chicago Cubs relieved Jim Hendry of his duties as vice president and general manager on Friday.

    Cubs fans should be dancing in the streets.
    After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

      As a Cincy fan I hate this move. But it is long overdue.

        Wow, what a mess. The Cubs told him on July 22, and as a result he didn't "feel right" trading anyone at the deadline. So they missed a chance to unload some guys and get started on their future because they couldn't figure out their GM situation.



        Hendry, 56, said Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts notified him July 22 that he wouldn't be retained. He indicated that was one factor in deciding not to trade away veteran players at the deadline, figuring he should leave those decisions to his successor.

          Of course, we don't know how much of that is true.

            If todays lineup is part of Jim Hendrys legacy then what a disaster he was. I know this is more of a product of Quado and Pena is sitting today but how is Jeff Baker batting cleanup, let alone in the major leagues?

              If that is true, Ricketts must be a horrible owner as you'd think he was keeping tabs on how trade talks were going in order to potentially dump some of the bad contracts and would have been the one to ok how much money the Cubs would be willing to kick in.

                Reading the article makes it sound like Hendry himself told it directly to a "real" reporter... which makes it seem mostly true.

                    Hendry had quite a Bavasi-like track record, especially in recent years. Loads of horrible contracts and busted prospects/draft picks.

                    So when does Ed Wade get sent packing?
