Hendry's Heart
Cubs GM Jim Hendry underwent an angioplasty yesterday.
Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry underwent an angioplasty at an Orlando-area hospital and was recovering Thursday. He closed the deal for left-hander Ted Lilly from the hospital Wednesday night while undergoing a procedure.
"Ted had no idea where (Hendry) was, or anything," said Gary Hughes, a special assistant to Hendry. "It was business as usual."
I don't think he was making the deal while he had a catheter in his heart. Still, it's pretty impressive that a blocked artery can't stop baseball business! Here's wishing Jim a complete recovery. I'm glad we can laugh about this.

Yesterday evening it was reported in Chicago that Hendry went to the hospital for "exhaustion". This led to some great comments from radio callers, like "Gee, that's what the Cubs said about Mark Prior during Spring Training. Does this mean that Hendry really has a shoulder injury?"
