And what historical evidence leads you to this conclusion? Not any but, its my hope the new ownership is going to dump Hendry and find a GM who knows something about building a good baseball team. When you look at the Cubs core of Lee, Ramirez, Soto, Fukudome, Bradley, in the hands of a good GM, there's a potentially really good baseball team. Well, I hope you're right, but we've got 101 years going against us...not to mention the fact, that other than the Yankees, the Cardinals have won more championships than any other team in major league baseball history. If I were a betting man, I wouldn't be laying my money out on the Cubs. Phil Cavaretta's gonna do it to me again!!
