09:01 AM ET 07.25 | Was manager Lou Piniella putting pressure on general manager Jim Hendry to make some moves when he said the Cubs could use a "couple more bats" after Tuesday's loss in Philadelphia? "No, I think some of that was tongue in cheek after the game," Hendry said. "We all felt comfortable we had enough bats when we left [ spring training]. We either haven't been as healthy as we'd like, or certainly a lot of guys collectively haven't hit like they can at one time. "It's just the nature of every manager -- you always want something better than what you have if you lose that particular game. ... He didn't mean it to come out like 'me and Jim aren't on the same page.' " Piniella seemed to back off his comment Friday morning, saying Hendry "does as good a job as any GM in baseball."
