One obvious but important point Al is making is that Cubs can't be lovable losers anymore. Used to be the team could be bad and still draw.

Now he says a there is the possibility of a real historical changing of the guard or at least the potential for one. He believes the Cubs can't just say they are rebuilding. They have to spend some real money in this offseason. Spinning tales about goats and sucking up Old Style won't cut it anymore. This is what this Sox rebuild can mean. Not just having a good season or two but taking over this baseball city. As for tonight. I hope the Sox use their home park as a launching pad and leave no doubt which team has a real and long and bright future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I really feel like Rickets is just gonna bleed that franchise dry and suck out all the profits he can before passing it off to some other schmuck. He got his one flag and it will fly forever, and I don't think he has ANY interest in spending anything more than he has to do keep at least 25K or so flowing into the stadium every home game and a decent TV contract whenever it's up. I'd expect the Cubs to operate like a Detroit or Cleveland going forward, not a bottom 5 payroll, but bottom 15 for sure. lol, speaking of the devil: Edited August 27, 2021 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so flipping great to win the World Series this year and take away one of their FA targets in the offseason. ? One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I inserted both starting lineups in the first post, with my team preference posted first, despite the fact they are the home team and are batting second tonight. That was good of you. First!

Bossanoveralls Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Keuchel doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. But I say the guys are gonna get him a touchdown and a field goal. So we got them Chicago Cubs right where we want 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
