| Body | What Jim Hendry and Chicago Cubs have done on the Northside is a disgrace! The franchise has a history of bone headed baseball moves (i.e. the Lou Brock trade), but let me focus on recent times. Jim Hendry has dismantled the pieces that made the 2003..team successful. He got rid of Kenny Lofton (the first real lead-off man in years), Moises Alou, Todd Walker, Mark Grudzielanek, and Matt Clement (who was obtained by trading away Dontrell Willis). ..Dusty Baker has been fired. Add to that the loss of Sammy Sosa; and the yearly pinning of hopes on busts like the always injured Kerry Wood, and Mark "The Underachiever" Prior. With all the subtractions of talent, Hendry has done VERY LITTLE to replenish the team... Cub fans deserve much better! We've waited long enough for a quality team to be assembled on the Northside, and for the end of the Billy Goat Curse! If Dusty was fired,..Hendry should have beaten him out the door! |
