What does that have to do with how this offseason went, which is the point everyone is discussing?

Nothing really, but I also think it's fruitless to compare the January 2010 Cubs to the January 2009 Cubs. One was a team coming off a 97 win season, the other is a team coming off an 83 win season. I literally don't think it was possible for Hendry to construct a team that, on paper, would rival the 2009 Cubs, let alone be better.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
