Well, if the Cubs get bit by the injury bug next year I guess we can say the are Rickett(y)
.
I just hope we dont miss he Tribs pockets. 6 post seasons under Trib. Trouble with people owning
teams is that you are spending the grandkids money. Must make profit. That can mean lower payroll
and/or higher prices. Last family owners of Cubs were Wrigleys and those of us old enough
remember decades of losers. '69-70 were best years. '45 was a team of 4F players.
Dont blame day games-Cubs were one step above the present day Pirates Brock for Brollio, gave away Bill Madlock (the forgotten 3rd baseman with bating titles), Signed elders such as Richie Asburn - Carman Fanzone - Dave Knigman - Bobbie Murcer etc.
I hope I am wrong, but i am afraid we may be in for lower budgets and less talent and more oldtimers.
Still a Cub Fan forever
