Cubs general manager Jim Hendry is standing by manager Lou Piniella despite the team's struggles.

"I have no intention of firing Lou Piniella," Hendry said Wednesday. "Lou and I have a great relationship. Lou has done a lot of good things here. We're just going through a tough snag. It's the middle of June. I still feel comfortable we're capable of getting back in it.

"We've never talked about his future after this year. It never has been discussed and I don't think he or I feel like we're going to be doing that anyway. He's fine with me. The guy has done a lot of great things in this game for a long time."
