Cubs dismiss General Manger Jim Hendry

No, no, no. It'll be topped in 4 months with the headline "Baker Out, Hendry In for Reds"

I can't believe they fired him to be honest though it was well deserved.

Praise the good lord almighty, Cub fan's long nightmare is finally over!

Now, let's see what Ricketts does next. The Cubs have some serious money coming off the books this year and next, and there are good GM candidates out there that would love to have "broke a 102+ year championship drought" on their resume. It's something that would make a GM a HOF shoe-in at this point.

I thought at a minimum it would be end of season.

Though I don't want to lose his help with the Phillies and he is kind of retired, you should tempt Gillick to take the job.

I read today there was a rumor floating around a month or so ago about Ricketts contacting Gillick or wanting to contact him. Not sure if anything is going to come of it though.

Everything I've seen says he doesn't want it and is happy with Philly. He could also head out west.
