No, I think you speak for the majority of Cubs fans. I've been ready for a change since last offseason actually, since the Miles signing. I'm just not that adamant about it because I feel whoever is the GM will never win anything here ever. There, I said it.

You really don't think it can happen here?
I do - but I don't think the difference between JH and GMX is the difference. I think winning a WS requires a lot to go right - all at once - from a lot of players. <b>I think the Cubs have the talent to do it </b>- and are overdue for the breaks...not sure when - but I don't know why it couldn't eventually happen with all the talent on this roster.
I still feel like a GM is grossly overrated.

You see, this is where we disagree. I don't think we have all that much talent. Yes we have some big names, but we really don't have that much top notch talent. Certainly not enough to justify the payroll. All of our top players have some question marks. Lee has been good but inconsistant since his monster 2006 season. Aramis is up and down with the glove and can't stay healthy. Soriano has injury troubles and IMO isn't very good anymore. Z is maddening because the talent is there but his numbers have declined each of the last 3 seasons. Oh yeah, he's psycho too.
