I agree with much of what you say, especially about the need for a baseball park. Wayne Huizenga wanted us to pay for the stadium and always claimed he lost $30 million in 1997. I don't know if he did or not but there has always been a silver lining to the team's breakup. The Marlins, who had a good GM at the time, Dave Dombrowski, liquidated their prime talent for very good young minor leaguers. Just with the pitching alone we have the ripple effect over time that has guys like Beckett and Penny and Willis here today and also produced Matt Clement and Felix Heredia who we are seeing in the playoffs. Not to mention Kevin Millar of the Sox. The point I'm getting to is that success breeds success. I think that when we see this excitement and 65,000 in the seats for the playoffs, the outlook is much improved over the last several years.

Well, geez. At least a goodly portion of that 65,000 people in the seats were CUBS FANS.
