So, compared to Petco, it's much easier, not that much of an accomplishment really, to have a 40-HR bopper in Wrigley (25± at home, 15± on the road). But to have an adequate offense there, you'd really need two of them, or the equivalent.
(The corollary, of course, is that statistical expectations for pitchers in Wrigley must be tempered.)
If ownership gives its fans bread-and-circuses in the form of just one slugger, and the fans buy into it, then ultimately who's responsible? Seems like there are always butts in the seats...Isn't it Homer whose tagline claims that people get the governments they deserve?
So say my friends when I am at a game in Wrigley Field.
