    I could go for an ARod jersey too. :lol:

    Yes, that is my point and I agree they could be more profitable with a winning team. It's just that with the Cubs, winning is not a must to be profitable. And personally I believe that is what is wrong with corporate ownership. Winning is not always a priority. I can guarantee you that if the Cubs had not been making money the last 10 years changing would have been made.

    I don't buy this. If this is how the Trib is run, it's run terribly. As an example, take McDonald's. They run an obviously very profitable business. By your theory, why should they change anything? Why should they make changes to their menu, change their advertising strategy, make adult happy meals and try to present a healthier option for food? Profitable business stay profitable by constantly making changes and improvements. The Tribune obviously recognizes this to a certain extent, as they've made "improvements" to Wrigley. Fielding a winning team will only make the team more profitable. This should be a goal for the Tribune. By your standards MacPhail, Hendry, and Dusty would already be gone then. MacPhail has been here 10 plus year and the team has made the playoffs twice. Hendry was given an extension after 2 very disappointing years in which the team under performed from what they were projected and Dusty is going to get his extension before the seasonm is over. The Cubs have made a profit during the time each man has been employed by the Trib. Why else are they still around. Certainly not for the championship trophys lying around.

    Looking at it from the Tribs perspective: The Cubs are one of the most profitable teams in all of MLB. Why make a change? There is nothing wrong. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Not that I agree with that philosophy...it's just what it is.
  5. cubfan1955
    The smart, logical thing would mean Dusty is gone. Which means it will never happen. :cry:

    Marshall pitches Tuesday for the 4 game streak. Glendon is scheduled for Wednesday against Oswalt. Gee, I wonder how that will turn out? :( Barrett starts a fight with Oswalt in the top 2nd inning, both players are tossed. Rusch beans berkman in the bottom of the 2rd, both are tossed. guzman pitches the rest of the game and gives up 3 runs, hank white hits a gw grandslam in the top of the 9th. but i could be wrong The Astros would be batting in the top of the 9th. :lol:

    Nah, they'll do it during the all star break when no one is looking. :evil:

    Who fills in for Prior while he's on the DL the first half of the year? Rusch? :twisted:

    I'm taking full credit. Hadn't seen it anywhere but I wasn't planning on copyrighting it anyway. Then again...McHenDust © :lol:
  11. cubfan1955
    And it's also one step closer to the end of the world. :shock: Still, I root for the Cubs to win every single day.
  12. cubfan1955
    Agreed. Plus the fact that McHenDust isn't going anywhere no matter what the record is. Might as well hope they grow some brains and get some good players and get rid of the ones that can't seem to escape the DL.
  13. cubfan1955
    I'd I'd still rather see any of those 4 start over Rusch.
  14. cubfan1955
    Wednesday: Houston 31-32 (Road: 9-18) 8:05 pm EDT Chi Cubs 25-36 (Home: 12-14) FSSW, WGN HOU: R. Oswalt (5-3, 3.11) CHC: G. Rusch (2-6, 7.29) Hopefully that will be changed to Guzman.
  15. cubfan1955
    Marmol just got a shaving cream pie face! :lol:
  16. cubfan1955
    I'm sure he was already up and warming once Ohman retired Lopez in the 7th. Especially with Griffey and Dunn to follow. Makes sense for him to come into the game in that spot. There's plenty of time to get Guzman up during the last half inning, it was 6-2 after the first HR, and 8-2 after the second HR with only one out. I'm hoping they are saving Guzman to take Rusch's spot in the starting rotation.

    Quick...someone check the Red Sea. See if it is parting.
  18. cubfan1955
    Dusty is a genius playing Neifi today. :shock: Hendry should trade Aram. :twisted:
  19. cubfan1955
    Sheesh, I lost my internet connection as soon as Neifi homered. I thought the world had ended and I was the last survivor.
  20. cubfan1955
    HOLY COW!!!
  21. cubfan1955
    GREAT JOB MARMOL!!!
  22. cubfan1955
    Not a good sign. Marmol may be tiring
  23. cubfan1955
    Nevin fits right in. Swinging at pitches over his head.
  24. cubfan1955
