THIS is why sometimes after reading this board, I want to kill myself.
Tom, quick, do me a favor and show me a time when I said anything remotely resembling "Jim Hendry is a GREAT GM!" (at least in the last 3 or 4 years). <b>I have continuously (and apparently pointlessly) referred to him as average to below average.</b> But on this board, when you take that controversial stand that "hey, maybe Hendry doesn't ass rape newly born puppies", that is the exact SAME thing as saying you LOVE him.
Countering KB's absurd disdain for Hendry is not the same thing as saying Hendry is great.

Bt, do you realize how ironic that is? In the exact same post where you insist that people are wrongly stigmatizing you, you wrongly stigmatize me!
I agree with the part of your post that I boldened. (although I lean slightly more toward slightly below average instead of average. And even that is only because of his colossal payroll advantage. Otherwise, I'd say he's close to average. So, is it wrong to say that with an <i>above</i>-average GM, we might be closer to winning a World Series?)

Dude, you can sit there and type that you think Hendry is an average Gm until your fingers fall off. Most of the rest of your posts say completely the opposite.
