Jim, enough of that 'Pollyanna' optimism. Just a few more games to close out this season and the cubs will have gone a hundred years without winning a world series. As Jack Brickhouse once said, "Any team can have a bad century". This organization won't dare tinker with a successful business model that shows "on-field futility equals record setting attendance figures". It's highly unlikely this team even considers reversing that trend until it's time for a new stadium, like 2030 or 2040. The new owners will fall into the goosestepping ways outlined by the Tribune and only concern themselves with the bottom line. The more mundane things, like winning championships, will be left for the other team in this town who have already proven they can do it.
