News of this import needs a thread of its own According to The Trib, Dubois gets his chance!! Jason Dubois will get a shot at becoming the everyday left fielder, beginning Monday. The Cubs have decided to make Todd Hollandsworth a backup and aren't currently seeking outfield help. "I don't know how significant a guy you could get now," general manager Jim Hendry said. "The wish list we all maybe would aspire to [isn't] always something the other club wants to do." Seems a rather underwhelming endorsement by Hendry, but it's been a titanic struggle to get to this point. GO JASON!8-

I hope my joy is not premature.
They need to know. And Holla/Macias/Whoever-Is-Worse-Than-Macias-Which-Is-Hard-To-Imagine pinch-hitting for Dubois in the 7th inning of every game is better than the alternative.
The only downside is that the article said Dusty is in no danger of losing his job. But it seems to me that ... as lukewarm as Hendry's endorsement for Dubois was ... it was more enthusiastic than the endorsement for Dusty.
OH YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

I don't see how this can be anything other than Hendry saying Dubois plays and Dusty refusing to play him.
Dusty has really been acting like he wants to get fired. He was always a jerkoff, but it's reaching new levels this season.
Good, I hope Hendry takes him up on it.
