Five years ago today, we woke up with our KUBBIEZ 7.5 games out of first place at 17-22.. They responded by going 49-74 the rest of the season.

Maybe. But that team didn't have Starlin or Castro on it.

Tell TDubbs  that I am going to start a thread entitled "Believe"  but I will use a question mark instead of an exclamation point.

Will it be a thread about some shitty movie that just came out called "Believe?"?

Bruce Miles thinks it's gonna hai:

[The bottom line is you can make the case for firing Hendry and cleaning house up and down the organization. Hendry has been the GM since July 2002 and has won three division titles and only one playoff series. His proclamation at the 2007 Cubs convention of, "We're going to get good, and we're going to stay good," already is haunting him. What we're lookin' at ain't good these days.

But if you fire Hendry (and Fleita and Wilken follow him out the door) whom do you bring in, and do you trust Ricketts and team president Crane Kenney to hire the right people? Think about that for a sec.

Uplifting!

This bizarre belief that they can't fire Hendry astounds me.  Seriously, the Cubs shouldn't fire a guy who's bad at his job because they might hire somebody that's worse?  What sort of Yellonesque logic is that?

Also, I still want to know where this whole "OMG Fleita and Wilken will leave if Hendry is fired" thing comes from.  Because it assumes that Hendry's going to immediately get another GM job and can then give these guys jobs comparable to the ones they have now with the Cubs.  Unless they're so loyal to Hendry that they plan on taking jobs as fry cooks when Jim opens his Harold's Chicken Shack franchise.

Why can't we fire crane kenney too, if he's too dumb to make a good decision?

I really don't think that's possible, but I'm so shell-shocked by these early returns that I don't want to tempt fate by pretending to be so sure.
