Carol Slezak Should've Purchased The Cubs

In today's Chicago Sun-Times, Carol Slezak is already trying to drum up some negativity for the 2010 Cubs because, well, we just didn't get enough of that crap during the 2009 season:

As boss, Ricketts could choose to rid the organization of every remnant of its losing history. He could have his pick of the most accomplished names in the game, from managers to general managers to player personnel directors. He could immediately begin to make this organization over. But don't look for bold change anytime soon. The new boss has already shown us that he's content to stay the course. How very Cub-like of him.

Yes, how very Cub-like. As boss, instead of concentrating on player personnel, why doesn't he fire Hendry (who is under contract and will still get paid) and Piniella (who is also under contract and will still get paid) and pay two additional people to do those jobs. Why doesn't he just go into his basement and fire up his money-making machine and print a shit ton of gazillion dollar bills and go to town signing people? And in a very Slezak-like move, she states that Ricketts could "have his pick of the most accomplished names in the game, from managers to general managers," yet she is either too lazy or too stupid to even name one person. Which pick-of-the-litter GM is out there and available just waiting for his chance to turn the Cubs into World Champions, or are you just throwing crap against the wall and hoping it sticks?
