Questions you'd like someone to ask Hendry at Convention?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck Wood?

 

 

I really don't know the answer to this. But I'm sure it would cause him to miss at least a couple of starts because of it.

 

Ah, you have to know the answer to that question.

 

Why, he'd chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood! :D

 

Whoops, Jim was supposed to answer that one, wasn't he? Well, I think he has a few more left that some of us would like to know the answer to.

 

Nice try, Jim :shock:

 

So BbB is really JjJ? JumbojunkdealerJim?

How much wood could a Kerry Wood carry if a Kerry Wood could carry wood?

Why don't the Cubs value OBP more as an offensive stat? [ i'm sure he'll be able to doubletalk his way out of that -- maybe somone can recast it in a more clever or subtle way]

 

Dusty is not exactly known to be fond of platooning players - do you see 2006 as a year he'll have to adjust his thinking on that?

 

 

Why do you continue to ignore how runs are scored in baseball?

Mr Hendry,

 

Why do you make me cry.

FYI - The WGN Radio broadcast schedule for the convention & the discussion thread is up in the Events Forum.

 

Who is planning on going?

Jim,

 

Please go over what this past offseason would have looked like if your organization wasnt guarenteed to sell every single seat next year, thus giving the club no motivation to build a consistant winning team.

2) The Cubs were purchased for approx. $20 million in 1981. The current market value of the team has been appraised at $550 million (a 23 fold increase in 24 years). The team's incredibly loyal fan base has supported the team with record attendance year after year which has allowed the team to post record profits year after year. Yet the team has never once signed a TIER 1 free agent and it's current budget is less than that of the team from the Southside who's fairweather fanbase has supported that team to a much lesser degree.

 

Please explain.

 

I agree with the sentiment of the question, but the value of the ball club doesn't do much for your argument (it's similar to the return on the stock market over the same period).

Somebody should go up to Hendry and kiss him on the lips and say:

 

"I know it was you Hendry...you broke my heart." Then offer to take Hendry and Baker fishing in Nevada.

Too extreme. How about Hendry wakes up with a bloody sweater vest on the pillow next to him?
