Again -- if you're not here to trash talk, what's your purpose?
Oh, right. You just wanted to get our take on Zambrano. And then pepper us with little jabs about how we can end our World Series drought and be more like the White Sox. Got it.

Well, I actually gave my opinion on what the Cubs could do to get better. The little jabs should be expected, we're Chicago sports fans.
But I was also agreeing with some of the posters that thought a wholesale change of attitude was needed. You have anything constructive to say? How can the Cubs get better? Doing more of the same isn't working. When you get rid of Z, who will be the next to get frustrated?
There are other bad teams in MLB like the Pirates and KC but they don't have the money the Cubs do. With a loyal, nationwide, fan base, and tons of money, just what is the problem? The Cubs own Chicago as far as baseball. Could it just be that the owners think Wrigley Field is the draw and the fans don't vote otherwise? Who is going to pay that $45M owed Zambrano? You are.
Nice stat about most playoff appearances since '83 but you would trade all 6 for one WS ring. You know you would. But the stat is all you've got. You know that when the Cubs finally win one you will cherish it just like Sox fans cherish 2005 and Cub fans will all lord it over Sox fans for being the most recent winner. That's the way it's supposed to be.
