Jim Hendry on Jim Rome

Reader "Chad" sent me along this file of Jim Hendry doing a "phoner" on the Jim Rome show. I believe it was from yesterday's program. I can't say there was anything too revealing in it, but I'm sure some of you will want to take a listen.

You can download the file from here.

I heard that interview live. On the radio. I liked the beginning. Jim Rome: We're here with Cubs GM, Jim Hendry. How's it going, Jim? Jim Hendry: Real good, Jimmy. Jim Rome: Boy, it's great to hear your voice, Jim. Jim Hendry: It's great to hear yours, too, Jimmy. (1-2 minute pause in which you can barely hear some sort of heavy panting) Jim Rome: Boy, that was great, Jim. I think I just... ... ... came. Jim Hendry: Way ahead of ya, Jimmy. You give the best phone interviews in the business, Jimmy. Yeah, it was good radio. I even had to take a shower afterwards. Because I felt dirty, ya pervs. Not because I was turned on. Geez...

You guys do know its Brian not Brain right? Just thought I'd throw that in there. My real name is Brian Roberts and people have spelled my name Brain my whole life. My mom even spelled it that way on my birth certificate and had to change it.

I didn't notice if you guys ever closed the discussion on the comments structure but I looked behind the scenes and saw that you were using drupal and so I looked to the top and saw that, sure enough, there's an option for users to flatten comments. Sorry if that's 3/44.

    What are the chances we can back off on gloating over other people’s misfortune?  One of the things I appreciate about the TCR community is that the remarks are more productive and add to how I like to follow the game.  

    Lately, however, I’m reading comments that are just mean.  If I were an MLB player, I would hate to get a back or finger injury and have someone write ‘hurrah!  I hope we never see him again!’  Especially when it is someone we were praising not long ago.  I’m not saying ‘don’t express how you feel’ but some comments lately seem downright mean spirited.  Stuff I expect from other communities but don’t often see here.  The TCR community has always spoken the truth but never with such a dark tone.

    Just my two cents.  I hope Hendricks comes back and is the professor we all know. He can pitch for the Cubs as long as he wants in my book.

    happ is back (and starting), mervis DH, tauchman gets RF.

    morel 5th in the lineup.  hoerner continues to lead off, even vs a righty.

  • George Altman (view)

    I don't care to see Hendricks or Smyly on the 26-man Roster the rest of the season. Both, stupid signings and option pick up by Jed. 

  • crunch (view)

    i know the cubs are paying the guys, but for the sake of the win/loss column this is some great news.

    woo!  people getting injured!  kick ass!

    sportsball is cruel.

    would have liked to keep cooper, but it looks like they're gonna go with wisdom if they have to pick a righty who's gonna K 1/3rd of his PA's.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Edwards would be my guess, or maybe they’re hoping Sanders or R Thompson can finally figure it out 

  • Cubster (view)

    So it’s Mervis, Wesn and Little for Cooper, Hendricks and Smyly. Count me in. Starting rotation for now: Taillon, Imanaga, Wicks, Assad and Brown-Wesn. Eventually Steele. 

    Lineup

    Hoerner, Happ, Bellinger, Busch, Morel, Swanson, Tauchman, Mervis, Amaya.

    Another year AZPhil, and you have more to do than ever! Heck yeah! Great stuff from Rosario so far. What are your impressions of guys like Freilyn Silverio, Adan Sanchez, Jose Escobar, and Anderson Suriel? Particularly the first two, feel like I’m forgetting one. 

  • fullykräusened (view)

    My first thought was that Hendricks was IL'd with a broken ERA, but after some quick research, you're right about MLB making at least some effort to discourage the "phantom IL."

    luke little rejoins the MLB party...

  • crunch (view)

    hendricks IL...lower back...

    given recent backlash by MLB, i doubt this is a phanton IL.

    wtf...also drew smyly to IL...right hip...
