9/8 No set time for manager interviews
Cubs officials Wednesday denied a report that GM Jim Hendry was to interview Ryne Sandberg within 10 days to discuss the team’s manager position. Sandberg was named the Pacific Coast League manager of the year after leading Triple-A Iowa to an 82-62 record. Sandberg is a candidate for the job but officials say there is no schedule for the interview process.

Of course, why have a schedule for job interviews? Wouldn’t that make sense? Hell, it’s just the manager’s postion we’re talking about. I’m sure Hendry thinks he’s got plenty of time. It’s not like Sandberg or Brenly would dare consider accepting other manager postions with other teams, why that just ain’t possible and besides it just wouldn’t be fair to poor old Hendry, the smartest, shrewdest GM the Ricketts can ever hope for, oh golly!!! Why if Sandberg and Brenly become unavailable because Hendry’s too busy looking serious and competant well he’ll just HAVE to go with Quade, Listach or Gonzalez all the while probably blaming the ones that got away as not having the “right timing”. What can one do? RESIGN, that’s what he can do. Take it out of the Ricketts hands Jim and just do us all favor AND LEAVE.
