Hendry busy working on a deal?

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Sorry for the tease guys and I wasn't really sure whether this post went in transactions or not, so...mods feel to move this wherever you wish. Anyway, I just called (well, probably 45 min. ago) Jim Hendry's office to encourage him to work out a deal for Rich Harden. I know I'm crazy but what can I say? I'm a die-hard Cub fan (45 yrs. plus).

 

His secretary said he was in the office but he was currently in a meeting (maybe with other scouts and personnel working on a deal?), so he couldn't take my call. Hendry's secretary was very nice and I just left a message saying that I know Jim will do his best to swing a trade that will counter the Sabathia trade. I reinterated that I'm hoping that Harden will be that player. His secretary thanked me for my comments and said that Mr. Hendry would appreciate my kind words.

 

In case none of you have this number, I'll give it to you. Call the Cubs at (773) 404-2827 (Cubs). Just remain on the line, ignoring all the prompts and then you will eventually hear a pre- recorded message telling you to "make your selection now or remain on the line and a operator will assist you". When the operator comes on, just ask for Hendry's office.

 

Give Jimbo and call and tell him to do whatever it takes to land Rich Harden (or someone else for that matter). Man, I love this time of year! Every year I look forward to the trading deadline and what the Cubs might do.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. My gut says yes, and if so, this is hilarious

Hmm.

 

Right here, you see, is a hitching post, possibly used by bandits, possibly while robbing a bank.

Calling his office is fine and dandy, but youd probably be better off finding a way to break into his office and wait for him there.

You might be better off calling Billy Beane. As they say, it takes two to tango.

[Flames24Rulz]

I'll get right on it.

Three-way call attack.

I think Hendry was meeting with the CPD about getting a restraining order against Sweet Swinging Billy

I was having a crappy day until this caught my eye

Well that is actually a Cubs number, more like the ticket office #, but a Cubs number nonetheless. Edited July 7, 2008 by Rondon Fan

You guys simply amaze me. I try to be helpful and you guys find my post hilarious? Unbelievable. I was sincere in what I posted, thinking that you might want to take the opportunity to express your opinion to Cub management as well...but I guess not.
