Last time I checked John Baker was not the GM...
Jim Hendry got a two year extension from Andy MacPhail...and I think he is to blame for this mess...
ucking:
It was NOT Baker that gave a contract extension to Glendon Rusch...who is 1-5 with a 7.89 ERA...pathetic...and he is getting paid $2.75 million in this first year of that extension...
ucking:
Baker also did not sign Jacque Jones to a three year multi-million dollar contract...this was a huge mistake...
ucking:
Baker did not trade for a washed up Juan Pierre...Lead off man batting .225?!?!?! That is not going to cut it...
ucking: His on base percentage is .276!!! just sick
Baker also did not acquire Jerry Hairston...
ucking:
He was given a crap hand to play here by his GM Hendry...
Hendry knew that both Wood and Prior would not be ready until May...did he sign a pitcher to help? Yes...he resigned Rusch...
Hendry should be FIRED for this embarrasing collection that he has put together...
Managers get too much credit when their teams win...and too much blame when they lose...It is all based on the roster...and this 2006 edition of the Cubs was put together by one guy...Hendry.
