They only posted the first 2 minutes of it. WTF?

Go get it now under MAC interviews...its updated with the FULL 5 mins in .mp3. Basically Hendry gave short PC answers to the obvious flaws of the team.

I don't think he was mad, Mac asked him why he was salty and Jim said he wasn't just not ready to give up on 2009 season. Mac was asking him about 2010 and looking forward to the off-season. Why would the GM of a team not mathematically out of it talk about trading guys still on the team and going forward. Think he'll throw in the towel on a radio interview with 20 games left with only being 6 out?

I don't know what mac was expecting... he was asking tough/confrontational questions to a man who has had a rough season, I would expect Hendry to be a little irritated with the questions...

Tough shit. I commend Mac for not lobbing softballs at Hendry & pressing him on the issues.

this is why most interviews with players, coaches, GMs are useless. they all use the same cliches and sound bites. does anyone hear think hendry is going announce his true feelings about zambrano for all of chicago to hear?

Downloaded the interview. Uncomfortable radio.

It still astounds me that Hendry has a job. I hear cub fans say 'he won back to back division championships'. Big fucking deal. It's easy turning a bad team into a good team if you spend enough money. Give me half a billion dollars+ and I'll have the Washington Nationals winning divisions titles in two years.

What's difficult is turning a good team into a great team and Hendry has failed so miserably he turned a good team back into a bad team. It's time to bring in someone who has a plan other than 'let's write a check'!

Tough shit. I commend Mac for not lobbing softballs at Hendry & pressing him on the issues.

[ I hope maybe they can get Ozzie or Cooper or somebody from the Sox on and grill them a bit too. Though, their GM has put them in a better position to win next year that Hendry seemingly has, but fair is fair...both teams have underacheived bigtime this year. At least one show in this town had the balls to call Hendry out to his face about it.

Paging, Aggravated White Sox Fan Bob. Paging Aggravated White Sox Fan Bob. Where are you, AWSFB?

After listening to the interview again I can't blame Hendry for getting upset over a question about 2010 with a month left in the 2009 season. Mac and Meat should have questioned him about the decisions he made last off season that have put the cubs in the position they are currently in (and Hendry opened the door to those questions!). The DeRosa deal? The Marquis deal? The Gregg deal? The Wuertz deal? Signing Milton Bradley? Releasing Casey McGehee? Hendry had an AWFUL off season and they question him about next year?!? Thumbs down.

Same old shit with Hendry in every interview.

First off....he seems to disappear when times get tough. But if it's the preseason or things are going well, he'll gladly come on talk. And if one of his pickups is doing well, like last year with DeRosa, he'll be the first to bring up the naysayers about said deal.

Now if things are going badly and he miraculously comes out of his bunker, you sure as hell better not expect him to address any personnel moves that reflect badly on him. Nor sure you expect him to take any responsibility whatsoever. And if you have the nerve to actually ask him a tough question, he gets unbelievably defensive and short with his answers.

It amazes me how thin-skinned Hendry is. He was on with Murph (R.I.P.) shortly after he was named GM. Murph asked him kind of a tough question and Hendry automatically went into shutdown mode. I thought how odd that was considering he had just taken the job and he was already so defensive. I would think anyone who takes a GM job in a big market would have to realize you get the good with the bad, but Hendry has never caught on to that.

If he was in any other major market and got the results he has with the money he has spent, he would have been absolutely barbequed by the media long ago. His ass also would have been fired.

Hopefully the Ricketts will not be blinded by their Creighton connections with Hendry when it comes time to fire his ass. Which should be after this year, but we'll see.

I'll give Matt and Mac credit for trying to do get the answers that most Cubs fans would like.

I was in St.Louis watching a real baseball operation.....one where fans don't feel the need to jump up and down like kangaroos when there are two strikes on an opposing hitter in the top of the second.

Mac was on today saying he should have followed up on questions to Hendry....GONE AFTER THE LATEST ARCHITECT OF CUBBIE FUTILITY.

Hey Ed, being delusional and thinking a garbage team is truly a good team because it is in some phony baloney "race'; is a Chicago fan birthright.

Psych up for that September Cubbie push led by the great Soriano, Bradley and Zambrano....
ENJOY!!!

Cooper's a complete douchebag in interviews. He doesn't regard anyone who hasn't played as being qualified to question him.
