    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Cubs GM Hendry to mull Baker's future over breakESPN.com news servicesThe Dusty Baker era could be entering its final days with the Chicago Cubs.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.Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Houston dropped the Cubs to 23 games under .500 at 30-53. Chicago is just two games out of last place in the NL Central and 15? games behind the first-place Cardinals.Among the candidates speculated to replace Baker, if he is fired, are former managers Lou Piniella, Tom Kelly, Jimy Williams, Gene Lamont and Braves third base coach Fredi Gonzalez.Baker, whose contract is set to expire after the season, is 286-283 with the Cubs.The Cubs were buried by errors last season and finished 79-83. Baker has taken heat for the Cubs' collapse against in the 2003 NLCS -- when they were five outs from the pennant before losing Games 6 and 7 to the Florida Marlins -- and for various comments he has made.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2509667

But Tribune will never sell the Cubs. Stop going to the games and feeding the cash cow.
