Sandberg should have gotten his shot last year but Hendry decided to piss in his cherios and he left.

This means absolutely nothing, just throwing it out there... my boss has done some sports broadcasting and knows a lot of the former guys in the Cubs front office and broadcast teams... knew Harey Carey and knows Mike Shannon on the Cards team pretty well... has done some broadcasting from Wrigley...
Anyway... he met Sandburg a couple times and told me about a week ago that yes he was a good player but he's dumb as a box of rocks. Maybe Theo just didn't think he was the right guy for the job for reasons other than MLB experience...?
