I think it's cool that one of the new owners is a lesbian.
Neither the Mariotti article nor the Steve Stone for GM article bothered me. They were both interesting takes on the Cub situation. Both basically said that sweeping changes are needed, and I know it's the minority opinion around here, but I am in that camp. Stone wouldn't be my first choice for GM, but I think he could possibly be a good GM.
From what I've seen, "spending money wisely" seems to be the single most important quality a GM can possess. Jim lacks this skill, obviously, so it tends to overshadow his other strengths.
I'm very curious how the new owners will operate. I just pray that they don't hire someone that Selid/Reinsdorf are pushing, because neither have the Cub's best interests in mind. At all.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
