Echo!

In a column that sounds a lot like a post a few scrolls south of this one, Mike Imrem of the Daily Herald questions the Kerry Wood and Aramis Ramirez signings:

If the culture at Wrigley Field is to change, a good start would have been to allow Ramirez to take his 30something home runs and 100something runs batted in to another team.

(Jim) Hendry likely understands all this. I continue to believe he’s a good baseball man who can turn the Cubs around as well as anyone else could.

But what do I know? Apparently not much, considering Hendry is among myriad sports executives in town who prefer taking advice from anybody but me.

So Ramirez and Wood remain Cubs, meaning Hendry must be seeking counsel elsewhere.

(Lou) Piniella is the prime suspect.

Smart. Very smart.

When, oh when will this TEAM get smart?
