Quotable


"I don't look at it like we'd do anything differently," said Cubs general manager Jim Henry, whose team finished fourth in the National League Central with a record of 79-83. "We're going to have some personnel changes on the field. And we're going to try to fix some of the things that did not go well for us this year."

"Really, you can't look at it as any additional philosophical changes or pressure. It's good for them (the Sox). They certainly earned where they're at. They had a great year from start to finish, and they deserve to be where they're at. I have a lot of respect for the way they did it. My hat's off to them. We would have liked for it to have happened to us first, but there's nothing but respect for the way they did it."

Yes. Seeing a winner on the other side of town should not put additional pressure on you.

What should is seeing groups of 8-year olds screaming "Go Sox!" as they wait to enter their schools. That's your revenue stream being trained to ignore your product, Jim. Maybe the suits at Trib Tower need to take notice. Lose a game? Pshaw. Lose revenue? Urp!
