Look, here's the thing...

The Cubs made enough money to cover ALL of their expenses for 2003, all of the payroll, building costs, travel costs, utilities, everything...IN OCTOBER ALONE!!!

Which means that everything else that happened from January thru September goes into the Tribune's pocket, which includes all that juicy National TV money.

So when they tell ME and YOU that they don't have any more money to improve their team, NO MATTER HOW BAD OF AN INVESTMENT IT MAY BE, it is a crock of shit.

Maybe KC or Pittsburgh can't afford to risk $30M on Pudge, on the oft-chance that he is going to suck over the length of his contract.

But we can.
