$300,000,000 Doesn't Buy What It Used To (1 Viewer)

[Limp Ditka]

7-13 after 20 games has the Loveable Losers a whopping 1 game better than the 2 worst teams in baseball, KC and Washington.

Money well spent.

They are still a fundemental disaster. Situational hitting is non-existant, there are baserunning blunders abound and Sweet Lou has already blown his stack.

Z is more worried about his contract than pitching, Rich Hill is human, Prior and Wood are probably done for the year, Wade Miller still sucks and its just a matter of time before Jason Marquis remembers that he's Jason Marquis.



Have fun looking up at the Pirates and Brewers in the Central all year. Those 2 teams combined are spending about $10,000,000 more than the Cubs to feild competitive teams

Wow, the Cubs and a $300,000,000 payroll?

That is a story.

What did they spend on FA contracts this off season?

Last time I checked that was spread out of the course of 8 years, no?Question for you: Who has a higher payroll this year? Cubs or Sox?

It's not all spread out over 8 years, only Soriano's portion is. Most of it is spread out over about 4 years. And regardless, they had to invest that money to field this team, this year.You don't say that you spent $40,000 on a car when you'll be paying for it for the next 3 years?Oh, and the White Sox have the higher payroll. How does that make you feel?

Weren't you once a Cubs fan? It's bad enough being a bandwagon fan but being a ##### to your former team's fans seems like a dbag move.

I hear the Mets are good this year. Maybe you can root for them and hate the Braves or something.

Because the White Sox were real good in January of 2000.

Baseball fandom is like sexuality. You can't just switch sides in mid-life. There's a reason people laugh at de-gaying camps.

This is kind of interesting. Not sure why but it is.

Serious question-If the Cubs sweep the Sox this weekend and they finish the year with a better record, would you switch back to being a Cubs fan? If not, what would it take? Consecutive years of having a better record than the Sox?

Not a chance in hell. Look, I would hope that you aren't still hung up on the same girl that broke your heart in the 8th grade. Being a fan of a sports team is the same thing IMO. The Cubs broke my heart enough times in 30 years of being a fan that I'm just not dumb enough to go back for more. You know what I felt in 2003 when Bartman happened? I said to myslef "here it goes" and watched with a smile on my face. There were no tears, there was no remorse. There was a sense of right, a sense of doing what was best for me. You know what happened when I found out the girl that broke my heart in the 8th grade ended up 17 and knocked up by a soon to me MIA "boyfirend"?Same thing.Let them both go #### someone else.

I don't see what's weird about it, I drink plenty of beer and I'm quite relaxed.I was a Cubs fan because my dad made me a Cubs fan. I grew up and learned to think for myself. I'd like to think most of us do that.
