Dusty Not Returning (Discussion & Reaction)

[Outshined_One]

Cripes, the way he's talking about Dusty, you'd think we just hired him.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

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

 

My wife asked me why I was laughing.

[Andy]

Says he was never unsupportive of Dusty, thought that when we played well in June/July that we could make a run til DLee got hurt again.

[muntjack]

It's pretty obvious by Hendry's comments that the coaches are gone. He said, among other things, "It's not appropriate for me to comment without talking to them first."

[sethuel1]

You thought we might make a run for the postseason after those wins in Milwaukee before the ASB? God you're a moron, Jim.

[C.C.]

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.

 

Not only that but he's too emotionally involved, with players and coaches.

[goonys evil twin]

The losses didn't bother Jim.

agreed

[Andy]

Says he's completely surprised Andy resigned.

[Outshined_One]

This press conference is sounding like Jim Hendry's love letter to Dusty Baker.

 

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

I wonder what color the sky is in Jim's fantasy world.

[C.C.]

But why hasn't he talk to them yet? What's he waiting for?

[Andy]

Says he let Andy down in the last year and a half.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Damnit Jim, fire them now and talk to them later.

[Chris]

Maybe the uh and ums are a sort of code we can decipher

[Outshined_One]

Sounds like they won't be getting a manager on the cheap.

[Andy]

"I'm still the general manager"

 

So close...

"I have made myself available for the coaches to come by today or tomorrow."

[treebird]

oooh there's no worry about who makes what

 

hello 1 billion dollar manager

[YearofDaCubs]

If Hendry really cared what was the best interest of this organization he would have resigned. He better think outside the box and stop signing mediocre players and making the right trades.

[Chris]

oooh there's no worry about who makes what

 

hello 1 billion dollar manager

 

ha ha

[Brian]

it's still early, remeber Ken Mocha/A's last offseason

[snoodmonger]

Maybe the uh and ums are a sort of code we can decipher

 

"Da Hendry Code"?

[Outshined_One]

I was waiting for Phil Sullivan to start drooling about Lou Piniella.

[goonys evil twin]

This press conference is sounding like Jim Hendry's love letter to Dusty Baker.

 

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

 

No doubt.

 

I want to hear about tomorrow, not how much you respect Dusty. This does not bode well for those who are hoping for big time changes by Hendry. It's as if he doesn't understand there needs to be changes, and that he's only reluctantly canning Dusty because he still thinks the previous plan was fine.
