"Hey look! I got all clovers! Is that good?"

At life, Jim is a cool, successful guy.
At being an MLB GM?
He's a fucking <i>idiot</i>.

I will admit that Hendry has made some bad moves recently, but a fucking idiot? Come on now KB, he can't be that bad. When in your lifetime have the Cubs had back to back postseasons? When in your lifetime have the Cubs had 3 straight winning seasons? Last time I checked it was during Hendry's tenure and ONLY during his tenure.

Yes, he has made some questionable signings, but every GM makes questionable signings. At some point the blame also has to be put on the players.

When, in your lifetime, have the Cubs spent as much as they've spent on payroll since 2003?
