Cub Fans: hope, or foolishness?

Then I truly have no ideas 8)

 

We seem to be made to suffer.

All we know about is the money spent on player and manager salaries and until recently, it wasn't even close to what it should have been. We have no idea what is/has been spent on player development, scouting, coaches etc. My guess is we have been an inferior team for so long because throughout the organization we have hired inferior people, people on the cheap as we have for too long bought players on the cheap.

 

To hire the best you have to pay top dollar and the Cub's organization is not known for that.

In order to put a top tier product on the field you need competence throughout the organization. The Cubs have never had that.

 

This organization should be embarrassed at their years of futility and back seat to almost every other team that exists, new and old. It is beyond pathetic. But I do think, for the first time, there is an actual plan in place to turn the franchise around. We've been derailed the last two years by some bad luck and poor decisions but I think they're headed in the right direction.

 

Anyway, no point in bailing out now. We've been through enough futility, time to reap some rewards.
