It sucks as a fan to see them "punt" 2012 and most of 2013, but I'm holding out hope that some star FAs will be available that are good fits for the Cubs. I see the bigger picture, and I'm glad the Cubs are trying a different way, but...

Of course it's supposed to suck. Losing sucks. But losing while not having a plan in place to get out of the funk sucks more.

I have a difficult time watching games down there, unless I'm near a monitor that shows ball movement etc. Plus there are so many other distractions@Wrigley.

So Kane county is a nice place to save some $$, and watch quality play...albeit slightly watered down talent-wise.

You should come out for opening day on the 4th, when Cubs are out of town.
