At this point, the Tribune should say, "Jim you don't know how to manage a $90 million+ budget, so we'll see how you handle a $75 million budget." I don't blame the Tribune, they've given Hendry the resources needed to field a contending team, he just doesn't know how to construct a contending team. Possible, but remember the Tribune's #1 priority is making money. They could lower the budget if they wanted to risk less fans going to the games. In any case, it's nice to finally see Wrigely with lots 'o empty seats again. They certainly do deserve it.
