Hendry Fired (p. 2)

[Tryptamine]

Please don't let Wilken leave as a result of the firing.

[jersey cubs fan]

Jim Hendry has never been fired before in his life?

 

 

That is crazy for a man in his business.

[Tim M]

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

 

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

 

Thought it would affect signing the draft picks, is my guess.

Wanted to keep consistency with getting the draftees signed.

Signing draft picks.

[jersey cubs fan]

So why bother telling Hendry about it until August?

[Guest]

Can we also drop Koyie Hill and promote Clevenger/Castillo today?

That explains the timing of the announcement, at least.

 

Still, it's really strange to tell Hendry he's fired a little over a week before the trade deadline.

[SouthSideRyan]

So why bother telling Hendry about it until August?

 

Maybe to stop him from making moves to try and save his job at the deadline?

[Banedon]

So why bother telling Hendry about it until August?

 

Maybe something to do with the trade deadline?

I guess, but what desperation moves could he have possibly been cooking up?

[Rob]

It's about time. I don't begrudge Ricketts being cautious when coming on, but Hendry has dodged this bullet for far too long. I don't care how good of a guy you are, you need to have better results than this given the payroll.

 

That said, I wont fully relax until we replace Randy Bush with somebody competent.

[UMFan83]

john grabow just lost a lot of money today.

[WilcoFan]

So why bother telling Hendry about it until August?

 

Maybe he thought he'd negotiate draft picks a different way if he thought that money was being taken from his offseason budget.

[Guest]

Funny that this outstanding draft class could be Hendry's final legacy with the Cubs.

He told him on July 22

 

I AM AWARE

[Banedon]

Tim should charge for access to this thread.

[jersey cubs fan]

BEERHERE WITH BREAKING NEWS PLEASE UNLOCK THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Outshined_One]

So, this pretty much means Mike Quade's getting the boot.

[Vanilla Ice]

I think it is awesome that we've been bitching that Hendry was gonna stay on for the last month.

 

Ricketts has been just about every thing that I could have hoped so far. I'm crossing my fingers that the replacement is somebody awesome

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

Awesome. Now who to hire? Theres plenty of candidates. I'm goig Friedman, Cashman, Chrrigton, Oppenheimer, Hahn, most everyone else.

 

This is no offnee to Hendry...alot of dumb things happened but overall were not in too bad a spot.

[jersey cubs fan]

Goodbye Jim Hendry, you are a really good guy and a really terrible general manager. I wish you nothing but the best.

 

 

Enjoy Baltimore.

[tfarks]

Quade is the lamest duck imaginable

[Old Style]

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!
