"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?

Never. But like Tommy said, the guy tried. Is this his last year, unless the Cubs have a rebound year he is gone, but he tried. Was the contract bad to Bradley...yes. But contracts backfire sometimes, it happens. I just don't understand the complete hatred for the guy.

I don't hate the guy - I'm just tired of having to look back at least three years to find something he did right.
