FBDAD: How many teams organizations in professional sports have EVER one 6 championships in 8 years, especially after free agency? They put two different casts around Jordan and Pippin. Remeber, when Jordan was a scoring machine, he needed help to win it all. They gave him the right help. Reindorf was then too loyal to Krause. It cost the franchise some years. But, they appear ready to compete and maybe win it all again. The Cubs have had 100 years. The Bears do it once every 20 years. The Hawks never do it. The Sox had the third best winning percentage in the 90's. The Braves were first (with Maddux leading the way). Then he won a series. I don't know what an owner has to do to impress you. Only winning it all will prove that what the Cubs are doing isn't cosmetic. Time will tell. I just hate to see such good and loyal people, Cub fans, get jerked aroung and fooled time and again. Sox fans don't show when the team stinks. If they start to stink again, we won't go again. Hey, maybe that will force management to compete. Novel idea. Cub fans should try it.
