Well, Looks Like The Owners Are Interested

With the Cubs irrelevant to the sports conversation, Tom Ricketts has finally shown up and told everyone where ownership stands on this season:

...it is expected that the team's ownership will address the media soon to assess the club’s direction, especially if the team continues to struggle before the trading deadline.

"It has been very difficult for the family and the team the first half of the season," Tom Ricketts told season ticket holders Thursday at Wrigley Field. "This is not where the family wanted to be in the first half of the season"
That's terrible that it's been hard on his family. Musta put a damper on that photo safari in Africa.

And, frankly, the fans don't want to hear platitudes about "making it better," and "creating the best franchise in major league baseball." They want results.

Hey, Tom. How many press conferences did Rocky Wirtz between the time he took over the Black Hawks and the time he hired new management?

Moreover, just how long did Wirtz take to hire new management?

Comments:
I think the platitudes will work just fine on a vast majority of the fan base. The session I attended included lots of cheering for his speech.
 
And people think that Cardinal fans are "morans."

Oh, wait. Just Frank is a moran.
 
did tom wake up from his nap and look at the standings?

the way things are going i expect hendry will get a lifetime contract in the next few weeks. send in the clowns...
 
Not sure what everyone expects from Ricketts at this point? Hendry under Zells ownership put this dreck together.

I'm willing to let Ricketts clean house, bring in his own baseball people. Before I declare the Ricketts ownership an abject failure.
 
that's fair anon,

but what's he waiting for now? he has the perfect excuse to clean house right in front of him.
 
It's absolutely the worst time to switch GM's. Let Hendry get through the July and August trade deadlines.

Everyone knows the chips we have to trade. Just be watchful over how Hendry does the trades.

The time to make the switch will be in the offseason.

The only way to make this worse would be to hastily pick another bad GM.

Hastily? 3 years of due diligence and 9 months of direct control and a GM switch would be hasty?
 
2 weeks before the trade deadline is hastily. If Hendry is back for 2011, then I will be in the heads roll camp.

I just think the best course of action is to wait til the offseason. Put a long list of potential candidates together. And make the best possible hire to move forward with.

What's the rush now? A new GM isn't saving 2010 regardless.

Here's my thought on the matter. If Jim Hendry isn't your choice of GM moving forward after this season, then why would you entrust him with laying much of the future of this team's future by being in charge of this season's fire sale?
 
Because you can't get a GM in here tomorrow, that will know this organizations talent from top to bottom.

I agree that Hendry needs to leave. It's just ill advised to bring someone else off the street and hand them the keys 2 weeks before the trade deadline.

The correct move IMHO, is to get to the off season. Find out who will be available that might be employed and unavailable right now. And make a list of candidates accordingly.

We aren't trading Ted Lilly or Derrick Lee for a 20 year old Willie Mays at this point anyway. So picking the right GM going forward is much more important than giving the fans their "Pound of Flesh" right now.

Hopefully any list includes the following names:

Logan White
Josh Byrnes
Larry Beinfest
Neal Huntington
Jon Daniels

i see your point aaronb,

maybe they could let hendry go and promote wilken or fleita to an interim position. in the offseason go get a new gm.

anyways, that's not gonna happen. hendry will be here at least until the end of the season and your thinking is probably more in step with the ricketts' then mine.

all the best,

"That's terrible that it's been hard on his family. Musta put a damper on that photo safari in Africa."
