Cubs Fans
Cubs, Tribune sold to Chicago billionaire. Not sure if that's good or bad, I don't think you could blame the Tribune for not spending enough money.

All an owner has to do is about every 10 years or so, buy up a little bit of talent so that they are good enough to at least make a run for the playoffs, and then sell em all off and run for the next 9 years on AAA talent.
Gold.
Mine.
It hurts that this is so true...
aren't Cubs fans the MLB version of Poke fans?
No. The Cubs actually put fans in the seats.

We don't make fun of bandwagoneers. That and we travel like OU football fans.

If you can call them fans...
roughly half of the people at Wrigley on any given day are there to drink beer and be seen.
I don't know if I'd call the fans travel fans though. There are just a lot of Cub fans all over the country...Very few chicagoans that I know will go farther than St. Louis for a regular season game.
They put their 30,000 in the stands just like we do.
Yeah, but they do that in one game, whereas you need a the entire home schedule to break 30K.

The Cubs don't care as long as they spend their money.......
yup...which again is why I say that a smart owner would fill the roster with AAA talent 90% of the time. Wrigley will still sell out every game and that owner will be laughing all the way to the bank.
A a Card Fan...I think it's ashame to put the Cubs tradition of losing at risk.
The reign appears to be over.....Cincy is up 5-1 in the 7th.Big news on a day where we're still in first place.
We all knew it couldn't last forever.
Which pretty much explains sports ownership in Chicago no matter what the league.

meh...nobody can go undefeated. Wait until the post-season starts...
