red sox, yankees and mets have either a) had more recent success than the cubs b) are not as far into the current regime as the cubs and/or c) horsefeathers canning the people responsible for making the team suck.
IF the cubs blow this (still leaning toward thinking they won’t), it seems insane to me that they’d give ross a FIFTH season to try to win ONE playoff game. I mean do the friggin royals or pirates let a manager stick around that long without winning anything??
