As a lifelong Cub fan...

Let me answer that.

The Cubs, like every other team in the league, got $15 million from the sale of the Washington Nationals.

They'll make $10 million from the addition of the new bleacher seats.

They don't have Sosa's $15 million around their neck this year.

The real question is -- what did they do with that $40 million above and beyond what they had last year?

Nothing.

They were 5 outs from the World Series in 2003.

They needed a shortstop and catcher for 2004. They did nothing.

Miguel Tejada and Pudge Rodriguez were available.

They did nothing.

Last year, after the short stay with Nomar, the Cubs could have picked one of the 6 quality shortstops that were available this past winter. They chose to start a rookie.

If they can string a few wins in a row together, they'll probably give Dusty Baker an extension. Someone please tell me why???

They are my Cubs and they're the only team in town. Period. I love 'em, even though they pizz me off at times.
