Team isn't exactly hovering around .500 anymore... check the standings you are wrong. They are yet to reach 10 over, all it takes is a 3-4 game losing streak and they are right back down there. Add a 4 or 5 game winning streak and they have the best record in the NL. Gotta look at it both ways... Having the best record in the NL, is kind of like having the best tasting poop. Id rather push us to being a top team in the Majors, but if just hopeing to make the playoffs is ok with you then thats fine. I have a little higher standards, and its right there for the taking, but instead Hendry would rather sit back and "hope". I love posts like this. You have absolutely NO idea what Hendry has looked into and what trade opportunities he has explored. We are still 20+ hours away from the deadline. Who knows what he may be looking at. This isn't a defense of Hendry, but to emphatically state he's "hoping" without having any idea what he may be up to is silly. Well said Bruno. Keener you come off looking incredibly foolish here. a) you don't have any proof whatsoever that "Hendry would rather sit back and hope". Much more likely is that he's working the phones aggressively looking for a deal or two that would help the team, if the price is right. b) you don't have the foggiest idea what offers are out there, so to criticize the Cubs if they stand pat is just utterly absurd. Standing pat would be far, far smarter than sending Marmol for Dye, or Pie for Laird. Whatever Hendry or anyone else has said so far about being happy with the guys they've got, blah blah is just a bunch of cliche. Of course they're going to say that. It doesn't mean a thing. Ok so when does it come more than cliche? Tomorrow after 3 pm when the deadline has passed, and the Cubs have made no deals? I will be the first one to say i was wrong if Hendry makes a move, but I dont see it happening. He thinks we are fine with Cliff Floyd in right because he is "hopeful his power will come back". Hes happy with Jones "because hes had a hot month". Hes happy with Angel. Those quotes are straight from Hendrys mouth, and I truly think he believes it. Like I said if Im wrong Ill admit it, but I doubt Im wrong.
