If you're referring to the article I think you are, that was one of the worst pieces of sportswriter tripe I've ever read this side of Jay Mariotti. The "Bears Locker Room Maturity" article is what I am talking about. Yes. Simply terrible.
I think you will see Telender with alot more Cubs coverage and less Bears coverage from now on. Personally I think everything that comes out of his mouth sucks.

The Cubs were pretty bad in the mid-90's, I wouldn't have minded(as a Cubs fan). When Gil Meche inks his 5 year 45 million dollar deal this offseaon, it will be a pinnacle of how bad it it.
So you would have rather watched several seasons get cancelled or seasons played with replacement players because the PA would have never agreed to a salary cap. The players would have caved had they used replacements for a while, believe me they would have caved.
Baseball would have been 100X better off had they got a salary cap in place during the 90's. Good job Bud. Combine that with you closing your eyes to roids for over a decade and I am putting you down as the worst commish ever in pro sports.
I can't believe it takes a 66 win season combined with the 2nd worst OBP in MLB for these idiots to realize they have some issues regarding offensive philosophy.
I gotta give Piniella this...he knows how to argue with an ump. How many times this year did Dusty go out to argue a call, only to limp back to the dugout with his tail between his legs. That was pathetic.
Wow...He was a few weeks from gettting a pretty decent contract from some team. I know it seams meaningless at this point, but most men, including myself, want nothing more than their families "taken care of" should they pass on. RIP.
