If this has all been a string of bad luck, preceded by Zell making him sign high-profile free agents to keep fan interest high at any cost, then you're right.
I hope you're right. I hope BT has always been right.

I think there is very good chance this is the case. Horrible luck in '04. With all the money committed to payroll, Hendry seemed very penny wise but pound foolish in '05 and '06. That was probably ownership. The seats were filled, they could care less about winning. After '06 ownership needed to bolster the club. Thus the big dollar back loaded contracts. Soriano actually turned out to be the best player to blow 100+ mil on.
