It's about time somebody started talking about it. 

Maybe we should question the GM or possibly fire somebody?  Any ideas?

This is why the season is starting to get frustrating.  The losing doesn't bother me all that much, because I never expected the team to be competitive.  But it's quite obvious that there needs to be a front-office change, so what are they waiting for?  Not only is there no point in letting Hendry finish out the season, it'd probably cause damage long term.  Fire Hendry and let Wilken or that new Kaplan guy be the interim GM while Ricketts finds the next Friedman or Epstein.  That way they'd have a few months on the job to evaluate the team, rather than starting fresh in October or November.  There's absolutely no point in waiting.

As for potential replacements, I'd hope Ricketts looks at this guy or this guy.

So they are sending Z to anger management therapy.  What a waste of time.  If they want to hire a therapist it should be for the whole team .  They should hire that actor in "The Natural" who comes in to tell the team that losing is a disease like syphilis, and then fire him

Perhaps you should consider going with Z to the anger management therapy.

I'm tired of talking about the Cubs. Let's talk about something else.
