Sun Times 5/20--Calling a spade a spade

Mariotti and Kiley of all people. DEAD ON THE MARK. This wretched excuse for a $95MM ballclub is such an embarassment, either the Tribune is guilty of wanton neglect of their product, or they are just incomprehensably tonedeaf. Not sure which, but something needs to be done here, and now.

I am sure that Jim and Andy (sounds like a bad comic strip, no?) will react in a very positive and proactive way: They'll call the Sun Times Sports section editor and chew his behind.

Dude, Lee is hurt man. Our horses are injured. Who would have know Mark would start the season on the DL? Were not getting those lucky breaks dude.

Link please. Welcome back. Haven't seen you around much lately.

That is the most harsh piece I've seen by Kiley in awhile. Generally, he is fairly forgiving to the Cubs.

Mariotti wrote a brilliant piece, except when he mentioned Furcal. That was brilliant. Bleep the Cubs.

I don't know that you can really blame the Trib for the money they've spent, you can only blame them for letting MacPhail keep Hendry and the clown Baker. 95 million isn't chicken feed, and puts them above the Cards and Astros does it not? You can spend a lot of money for an Edsel...but you still have an Edsel. It's the ding dongs spending the money that's the problem, not the Tribsters. How much was spent on glendon, neifi, jones, six finger, and how much was NOT spent on keeping Moises. I think the Tribsters expect the team to get run the right way, and when it doesn't, they are just as impotent to do anything about it because they know nothing about baseball, however they do know something about losing, as we all do.
