If it goes, I'd be genuinely pissed off.
I actually know a guy that's part of the new ownership group and we had a pretty long talk about how this whole thing needs to be marketed properly. The person I know is not Mark Schlenker, but I'm a little surprised they're even thinking of going in this direction.A familiar Wrigleyville sign recalling the Cubs' futile past may itself be a thing of the past.
The well-known "Eamus Catuli!" sign and nearby numbers high atop the Lakeview Baseball Club building beyond Wrigley Field's right-field wall have been taken down for rooftop repairs, and the numbers may not be back.
Mark Schlenker, part of the ownership group that bought the building and business out of bankruptcy in January, said Thursday that while "Eamus Catuli" likely will return, the numbers marking the years since the Cubs last won a division, pennant and World Series are being reconsidered.
"As the new owner, I respect the tradition of Wrigley Field," Schlenker said. "At the same time, I'm also open to new ideas. Someone presented to me that the sign shows futility and perhaps we need to put the past behind us and go forward."
If it goes, I'd be genuinely pissed off.
