Have to say I'm excited by Ricketts as of late. The draft spending and the firing of Hendry shows he gets that the direction of the franchise needed to be changed.

[javy knows my name]

Holy [expletive] [expletive] I can't believe this. Ricketts = Gods among men.

 

Jovial NSBB is fun; maybe Jersey will be awesome from now on.

oh, I forgot, this one is obligatory as well

So, now that Hendry's gone, can this team please trade guys like Reed Johnson and Carlos Pena while there's still time before the waiver deadline?

I'd love to trade Johnson because there are some young OF's that I'd like to see get time in September. I really don't care if we move Pena or not, though. Someone has to play 1B.

[ConstableRabbit]

Is Zambrano now more or less likely to be traded at any cost or released?

Someone does, but I get the feeling Pena won't even net Type B compensation at this point.

I'm happier than a pig in [expletive] right now, but man, if they sent Crane Kenny along with him too..I don't even know what I'd do.

What is it specifically that you feel Kenny has done wrong?

Hell, put Colvin there. He gets ABs without blocking someone like Jackson in September. Or go with Baker, who cares.

[Tim M]

Wow, Hendry was fired on July 22.

[JGalt73]

Hendry had known since 7/22 that he was out... wow!

[haubrich91]

Hendry just said Ricketts told him about being fired July 22nd. Surprised no one leaked it.

If we get something of value in return, that's great. If not, meh.

 

I do hope Grabow is released by the end of the day, though.

I don't give a flying fudgesicle about Crane Kenney and I don't know why any fan would. The man has nothing to do with the baseball team, he runs the business, and by most accounts business is good.

[Banedon]

OMG what a way to add some spice to a slow, boring Friday at work! So giddy right now!

 

I feel like I can finally be a real Cubs fan again!

[WilcoFan]

Its especially difficult when seemingly good men are terrible at their jobs.

I don't understand some of the dislike for Kenney. The guy is a businessman, not a baseball guy, and from the sounds of it, is pretty good at his job. If there's a good GM under him, he'd be fine.

[E.J.]

Wow, Hendry was fired on July 22.

 

 

I guess that's why we didn't see any trades at the deadline.

Why do people hate him so much?

What in the world is the explanation for this weirdness??????

[tfarks]

So when do all the supposed Hendry loyalists start jumping ship?
