The Curse of Wrigley Field

Jim Hendry is no longer the Cubs general manager.  While nobody short of Cubs fans really expected the Cubs to be in the mix for the division this year, it’s been a while since the team even competed for a playoff spot.  With that, Hendry did help build the three playoff teams that the Cubs had during his nine years in the front office.

For now, Randy Bush will be the interim general manager.  He’s been the assistant general manager.  That general manager with also get to determine Mike Quade’s fate so it’ll be interesting to see if the Ryne Sandberg stories start back up.  Newer owner Ricketts wants to focus on player development so I’m surprised the Cubs haven’t pulled off more deadline deals then they have to start shoring up the farms system even more.
