[Dirt Dog Sparly]

We never had large disagreements of personel. :cry:

[Andy]

Says he has no timetable on hiring a new manager despite the fact that "speculation's been around since the All-Star break".

[snoodmonger]

have they announced a timetable for a new manager search?

[BeerHere]

Now might be a good time to announce that you're leaving too Jim.

Somehow I'm not surprised.

Still hanging on to 2003. Jim get over it! It was three years ago...

[sethuel1]

excellent use of the phrase "on my plate", hendry

[Andy]

Hasn't talked individually to the coaches about their future.

[ToupeeOnFire]

What's the "obviously" count?

[Outshined_One]

The coaches haven't been decided on yet?!

 

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeez...

[goonys evil twin]

I've never done anything that wasn't the right thing to do.

 

That's a pretty bold statement.

[Outshined_One]

Injury/Bad Luck Question Count: 1

[Chris]

Fire the coaches Jim

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

A very extensive search for a new manager.

 

First and foremost on his plate for the off season.

 

Has not talked to coaches. Has made himself available for them to come by and talk.

[Andy]

Some idiot asked about injuries and bad luck. Hendry says it's not my nature to play the excuse game. Um, yeah it is.

[goonys evil twin]

The coaches haven't been decided on yet?!

 

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeez...

 

Hendry is weak minded.

 

He is incapable of making a decision, sticking to it, and carrying it out. He was wishy washy on Baker all year, and now that he's finally gone, he doesn't have the balls to even speak of the rest of the staff. That's just absurd.

[C.C.]

Some idiot asked about injuries and bad luck. Hendry says it's not my nature to play the excuse game. Um, yeah it is.

 

It's not jim?

[Chris]

"It's not my nature to play the blame/excuse game"

 

Which was immediately followed up by talk of 2003. ha ha

If Dusty's responsible for '03, what have you given us, Hendry?

 

It should be your azz on the block right now. You're the architect of this mess.
