This is a very reasonable argument. My problem with using the Cubs history as a barometer for progress doesn't mean much because it's a *bad* history in terms of on the field results. Also, in the 2007/2008 playoffs, for whatever reason this was a team that was incapbale of competing for even one game. I'd like to think maybe a healthy Bradley, some power from Font and Hoff from the left side would improve our chances against the RHP pitching that has owned us. Maybe that's just wishful thinking. I do know that I now dread the playoffs, and am disheartened at the lack of performance by the pitching staff along with Ramirez and Soriano in those crucial times. Very well, then. Let's use more recent league history for a baromoter. Since the 2003 season, only St Louis (04-05), Atlanta (04-05), and San Francisco (03-04) have been able to amass a win total of 182 or more over a 2 season span, as the CUBS did in 07-08. That's 4 out 16 teams; top quarter.... and none of those other teams has made more playoff appearances than the CUBS !! Now, in fairness, every other team in the league has accomplished that feat more recently than the CUBS' previous occurrance in 36-37 except for San Diego, Colorado & Florida, who have never done it at all. Milwaukee managed to top that mark back in 82-83, but of course, they were not in the NL back then. So what does it all mean ?? Winning 182 games in 2 years ?? Clearly, it's an arbitrary and incorrigible benchmark. Over the last 87 years, (another completely arbitrary parameter) the feat has been accomplished 116 times in the National League by teams not named CUBS out of a possible set of 866 pairs of seasons.... or, in other words, it only happens 13.39% of the time. Now I'm not going to suggest that just being in the top 13% is enough to satisfy me; I do want more, in fact, I want it all !!! But, the issue on the table at the moment is whether or not the CUBS recent performance represents progress. I will make the bold assertion, again, that this is progress for the CUBS, and so long as I can see and measure progress with this team, I'm not going to call for managements' head on a platter. But I am watching. By the way.... just what is a *bad* history, anyway ??

After San Diego, my next favorite team to hit against is Houston !!! 04/06 - 05/14 AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP P/PA IsoD RBI% vs. S.D. 96 23 29 10 0 6 22 17 23 0.302 0.409 0.594 1.002 0.343 4.25 0.107 0.276 vs. Houst 184 31 53 10 1 8 29 20 37 0.288 0.361 0.484 0.844 0.324 3.78 0.073 0.194 vs. Milw 203 29 48 13 2 9 27 28 42 0.236 0.338 0.453 0.791 0.257 3.94 0.101 0.165 vs. Flor 135 22 35 3 1 7 21 11 31 0.259 0.313 0.452 0.765 0.289 3.97 0.054 0.212 vs. St. L 218 34 60 13 1 5 30 22 54 0.275 0.342 0.413 0.754 0.346 3.87 0.066 0.198 vs. Colo 60 6 16 2 0 1 5 12 9 0.267 0.397 0.350 0.747 0.300 4.25 0.131 0.100 vs. Ariz 98 13 20 1 0 5 13 10 25 0.204 0.284 0.367 0.652 0.221 3.77 0.080 0.211 vs. S.F. 59 6 10 3 0 1 6 10 18 0.169 0.296 0.271 0.567 0.225 4.24 0.126 0.161 All teams 1150 172 293 57 5 43 161 139 256 0.255 0.340 0.425 0.765 0.294 3.97 0.085 0.185 Go CUBS !!

It's not hard to find fault with the job Jim Hendry has done.... he has made some mistakes. He has also shown an ability to evaluate and learn from those mistakes. Right now, I would neither extend his contract nor throw him under the bus. I would evaluate 2009 with hindsight and evaluate whether progress is being made. In spite of the payroll figures and the playoff losses these last 2 years, it's pretty hard to argue with the performance of the major league club. You have to go back to 1936/37 to find a CUBS team that won 182 games over 2 years. 2007 thru 2008 World Series team W L pct PA W L Chicago Cubs 182 141 0.563 2 0 0 Philadelphia Phillies 181 143 0.559 2 1 0 New York Mets 177 147 0.546 0 0 0 Milwaukee Brewers 173 151 0.534 1 0 0 Arizona Diamondbacks 172 152 0.531 1 0 0 Los Angeles Dodgers 166 158 0.512 1 0 0 St. Louis Cardinals 164 160 0.506 0 0 0 Colorado Rockies 164 161 0.505 1 0 1 Houston Astros 159 164 0.492 0 0 0 Atlanta Braves 156 168 0.481 0 0 0 Florida Marlins 155 168 0.480 0 0 0 San Diego Padres 152 173 0.468 0 0 0 Cincinnati Reds 146 178 0.451 0 0 0 San Francisco Giants 143 181 0.441 0 0 0 Pittsburgh Pirates 135 189 0.417 0 0 0 Washington Nationals 132 191 0.409 0 0 0
