Cubs broke my heart in '69. I gave quit caring in '84. But I am glad I don't have to hear or see Chicago media talking about this petulant millionaire anymore!

I'll care AFTER they win a World Series, but I'm not sure that'll ever happen. But the Cubs are in good hands now, after 100 yrs of the Wrigleys; Tribune...

I think in a couple of years the new owners and Theo will have the Cubs being perennial contenders again. I hate to predict a world series because...well...they're the Cubs.

But I do think they're going about it the right way. Developing their own players and jettisoning the over priced, under performing players. Can anybody say Alfonso Soriano?
