Pinky, Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?

It's looks like Jim Hendry's recent vote of confidence in his manager was short lived:

Cubs general manager Jim Hendry told Chicago reporters Tuesday he would use the four-day All-Star break to decide whether an overhaul, which could include firing manager Baker, is in order.

"I'll spend a lot of time over the break not just with the way the situation is, but with your own players. I'll sit back and reflect on the first half," Hendry told reporters.

"You are getting ready to go into a month where you have to evaluate what you have. You want to give everyone a fair chance to succeed," he said.

Actually, this story would be a lot stronger if it actually quoted Hendry talking about Dusty.

Update: Bleed Cubbie Blue has much more, including the idea that Razor Shines might be the next manager. Razor Shines is one of the great baseball names, along with Drungo La Rue Hazewood that just never made it in the majors.

Are we sure the Trib's headline writers aren't conspiring to get Razor Shines the job?

Razor is the manager of my hometown Charlotte Knights. He is a colorful guy, more Ozzie than Dusty. Since both Chicago teams now seem to prefer minority managers, Razor probably has a good shot, especially considering how well the Knights have played this year.
