I wouldn't expect them to "do sh*t". It's a rebuilding year.

I didn't realize teams normally spend $300 million on free agents in a rebuilding year. Seems more like a sh*t-your-pants year to me. But then again, I don't have a master mind like they've got up in Boy's Town.

Um...spending money to overhaul your roster...sounds like rebuilding to me.

Spending $300 mil on Soriano and a bunch of mediocre-at-best vets is rebuilding? I can't imagine a fan of any other team defending a team that spends $300 mil on free agents yet still does not expect to win. Especially when the only good pitcher you have, one of the best in the game, is going to command another 120-150 million next winter. I'm sorry. If you spend like that and don't put yourself in position to win, you've got serious problems. Rebuilding is shedding mediocre vets to pick up good young players, not signing mediocre veterans to block good young players and hoping you have a good team in a couple years. The sox have done more rebuilding than the cubs this off-season, yet they still have a contending team with room for some of their prospects to squeeze in.

Of course, the Tribune company knows there are about 39,000 suckers born every minute in Cub fan land.

Perhaps 'overhaul' would better fit the description. I understand/agree with what you're saying about rebuilding.

Typical Sox fan quote. You jerkss won ONE World Series and you act like they're the best franchise in all of baseball and have been for years.

No, my point is the Cubs sell out whether or not they lose 95 games a year, so why would the Tribune company give a sh*t whether there's a good team on the field? Now that the Cubs followed up a Sox championship with 95 loss season, and there's a slight stir of unrest amongst Cubs fans, they throw some money around to look like they're trying without actually bothering to put a good team together. And guess what? Another year of sell-outs at Wrigley for a sub-par product.

I can't say I disagree.

Anyways...go Cubs!
