Cubs, Hendry Re-Up

The Chicago Cubs and GM Jim Hendry have reached an agreement on a contract extension that will keep Hendry with the Cubs through the 2012 season. Hendry has the third-longest tenure at GM (July 2002 to present) and is the only Cubs GM to see the team go to the postseason three times. He's also the only Cubs GM to see the team lose in the playoffs three times. Said Hendry upon the extension announcement, "It's an honor to receive this long-term commitment from the Chicago Cubs. We know there is work to be done in reaching our goal, and I thank my staff for their commitment to this organization. We'll continue to do everything it takes to reward our great fans for their dedication to this team." Like a World Series trophy? Awesome. K thnx bai.
