"Life would be a lot easier if Murton was left handed"

[Tracer Bullet]

Has Bruce or anyone else ever asked Hendry if he realizes that the comments he makes in public make him look stupid?

[Backtobanks]

With Hendry wanting a left-handed, speedy RF, it takes us out of the Cabrera sweepstakes. :roll:

[Jon]

I'm glad I've given up on this organization enough to at least laugh about this.

I'm going to use this Hendry strategy in my everyday life.

 

Editor: How could you misspell that coaches' name?

 

Me: Life would be a lot easier if I never screwed up.

HENDRY IS AN IDOIT. WE ALL KNOW THIS. BUT SOMEHOW, HE JUST OUT-DOES HIMSELF AND SURPRISES THE LIVING #### OUT OF US.

 

AWESOME.

[SouthSideRyan]

If this was going to be his obsession all offseason why in the eff do you trade Jacque Jones?

[abuck1220]

because he wants to take his third shot at signing a crappy rf solely because he hits left-handed.

 

hendry's essentially been adding years to jeromy burnitz's original contract, just with different guys taking the money.

You give him too much credit.

 

JerOmy, Jacque, Cornelius, Shawn Green.

That is the dumbest thing I have heard since.."Even if you are successfull running the football..the other team will stop it eventually"

On a scale from 1 to 10, life would be a lot easier if Jim Hendry wasn't an idiot.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

When my first son is born, I will teach him to bat LH, and play every position in baseball..and so help me, if Jim Hendry is still a GM in baseball...my son will have a shot at the big leagues!

Yeah, what an Idoit.

[ISUCubsFan]

funny how our biggest weakness offensively was against LHed pitching. Makes the quote even dumber

 

Surprisingly, this isn't exactly true, at least not to the extent I though it was. The Cubs hit LHP at .263/.325/.431 vs. .274/.335/.419 against RHP in 2007. Of course, being roughly equal at hitting both types of pitching doesn't justify going all out for a lefty just because there are too many right handed players in the lineup. Their biggest offensive weakness, as is always true with Hendry's teams, is that the .333 OBP they put up in 2007, 2 points higher than 2007 Juan Pierre. Getting rid of Murton's .352 OBP for a lefty (selected by Hendry) probably isn't going to help in that department (unless he signs Fukudome).

[NCCubFan]

The quote is so idiotic it's sig-worthy.

[wvcbxl]

Life would be easier for Cubs fans if Hendry was no longer employed by the Cubs.

 

Fixed

[CuseCubFan69]

I say Tim finds 3 good men and they kidnap Hendry and blame it on Gilder.

[RegulusBlue]

Someone please kill me. Why on earth would we unload a player that satisfies a weakness of our team, in addition to making so little money? They "still like" him? This GM is hurting the team, and no one who has any say seems to care at all. :-k

 

I'm gonna lose my mind if we unload him for nothing and grab a LH RF for several million dollars to OPS .700 for us, all the while lauding the talents of the little SS who couldn't in Theriot. I'm getting to the point that I may have to abandon the Cubs to save my sanity.

 

I came all the way out of baseball hibernation to see this quote. Can't say I wasn't warned.

Life would be a lot easier if I were married to Scarlett Johansson, but I don't sit back and make excuses for it, Jimbo
