The Trib doesnt want the Little Bears to ever be winners ( as though they ever could be ), the "lovable loser" thing brings in too much money. Who would care if they ever would win? Then the goofy Cub fans would demand a ballpark that isnt falling down on them.

Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and will never be.----Thomas Jefferson
