No one wants to be a giant pessimist about their team.
The Cubs are trying hard to send their fans in that direction though.
On a day where Lou Piniella said that he would be retiring after this season of managing the Chicago Cubs — and who could blame him, really? — the Ricketts’ family also announced that Jim Hendry would be retained for next season.
Now, part of me thinks that this is a stupid idea, but the other part thinks maybe this is more of a punishment for Hendry. A sort of, “If you don’t clean your room, mister, you’re going to bed without dessert!” situation.
Because THAT, my friends, is the only way this move makes any sense.
