As much as Gimenez sucked on the field, which was obvious to anyone watching, the worst part of his time with the Cubs was the drama he created when he said the following about Yu Darvish and fans back in May. Via the Sun-Times.
“I think he thinks that Chicago hates him for going on the DL a couple of times,” Gimenez said. “I’ve tried to portray to him, ‘Listen, they’re going to love you when we get to October and we’re doing the things that we all want to do here, you’re the main reason we’re doing it and we’re riding you all the way through it. “So don’t worry about them getting mad at you on Twitter in May. Worry about when we get to September, October and they’re chanting your name.”Way to throw your friend and teammate under the bus there, Chris. That made Yu Darvish look bad even if it wasn't true. Anyway, Theo Epstein was on 670 The Score earlier this week and he addressed Gimenez's comments.
Gimenez probably thought he was helping Yu, not sure how, but that was a big fuck up on his part. Anyway, the Cubs are moving on and although Gimenez was awful, Cubs fans going after him on social media are even worse. He may not be very good at baseball anymore, but at least Gimenez has a sense of humor. I mean, he was basically fired, fans attack him and this is how he responds.
Also, fuck this guy.
