We’re going to keep this short, but since everyone is freaking out about the Cubs opting out of their contract with WGN, it’s time to reflect on our priorities.
Cubs Front Office and Business Operations
Priorities include:
- Making money
- Acquisition and development of impact baseball talent
- Making money
- Renovating and modernization of Wrigley Field
- Making money
- Creating and sustaining long-term postseason success
- Making money
Cubs Fans
Priorities include:
- Troughs
- No jumbotron OMFG NOOOOOO
- WGN or GTFO
- Tradition (whatever the hell that means)
- Bob Brenly
- Ryne Sandberg
- Kerry Wood
- Who cares if they aren’t qualified, they’re ex-Cubs right
- Winning NOW with no regard for the future
I wonder which set of priorities most rational Cubs fans would choose, though. I’m guessing you need at least SOME money to buy all the free agents.
