There is a very real possibility that they'll go 0-10 for the road trip. And I kind of hope they do, then maybe Ricketts will actually fucking do something about the Special person monkey dip shit running this organization and can his fat fucking ass.

Ya, pretty much... sad that it had to come to us hoping we lose...

And don't forget that if that happens they will have lost 13 in a row. And sadly this is a real possibility as you said.

8 in a row!

If they don't win a game by the time I go to the Yankees game on the 17th, I probably won't go.

At this point you won't find anyone that wants to buy it, but I'll take it off your hands for free.

I can't see Ricketts getting rid of Hendry. If he was going to get rid of him, he would have done it last offseason. In fact, I don't see Hendry getting fired after this season either.

I think Ricketts likes Hendry a lot....who the hell knows why.

Good one.

Ricketts couldn't have done it last season because he needs a guy who knows the organization and baseball well enough until Ricketts can figure out who knows what, who can do what, who can keep his head above water until he gets situated. And while getting rid of Hendry now wouldn't have any real effect until around 2014 when Fonzie's contract is done and 18 million dollars is freed up, it wouldn't be a terrible move. Hendry has proven that he can't negotiate or make normal, sane person deals and the guy who would replace him would have quite the mess to clean up.

Personally, I think we keep Hendry until the end of his contract, which I think ends next year?, and in the mean time Ricketts looks for someone who knows the Cubs and actually knows baseball. The only way Hendry could distinguish a baseball from a NTC from a donut is that a NTC cannot be eaten, and the donut tastes better than the baseball.

Dempster injured, might not start. He was in the lineup as the lineup cards were exchanged, but Lopez might start. (Well Dempster is actually starter, as he is in the lineup), but might go 0 IP and be taken out before throwing a pitch/taking the mound).

Leave it to the Cubs. Guy on 3rd nobody out and they can't get him in.

:bowrofl:

You've got to be kidding me. Trading is far and away Hendry's strong point. Lee/Choi, the DeRosa trade, Lofton/Ramirez, the Harden trade, the list goes on.
