Blah-blah-blah. You came here because the Cubs lost and you only post when that happens so you can push the same "woe is us"/"fire Hendry and all will be well" [expletive] you always and only spout when they lose. It's adorable you seem to think the Cubs are likely to have a better front office or better scouts or a better farm system if they "clean house." You keep talking about norms, well wake the [expletive] up and recognize the norm of this organization's history of having all of those aspects of the club at subpar levels. This year isn't going to change anything. Ricketts isn't going to change anything. Any new cast of characters is going to be a variation of the same or worse. Stop talking like it's even remotely likely that the Cubs are going to stumble assbackwards into having the patience and the knowhow to construct a quality team or front office a la the Red Sox or Phillies or the Angels or the Dodgers because it's not happening. You're living in a complete and total fantasy world that's never ever going to come true so long as you claim to be a Cubs fan, which I'm baffled as to how you are one since that should be painfully obvious to any Cubs fan. There's zero motivation for most owners to take the time it would take to overhaul everything.
