Wait that's a championship in this town every three years since 85. That seems pretty good.

On the average, yes, but you had to wait 6 years(85-91) to get from the Bears' title to the Bulls' first 3-peat, then 7 years(98-05) to get to the Sox' title and another 5(05-10) to get to the Hawks' championship. For a city the size of Chicago with all of the resources available, it's unacceptable to me that our teams aren't consistently contending for championships year-in and year-out.

Kenny can't be satisfied with this team after seeing the Kitties add Prince.

Sox no longer in the running, so I guess it's time to close this up. Hope for Soler now.

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (via Twitter) ranked Yoenis Cespedes' most probable destinations in the following order: Cubs, Marlins, Orioles, and White Sox.

I still think the cubs. if this guy gets 40 million you can keep him thats all i know.

I dont get how the hell a guy who is 26 playing the equivalent to A ball will get that much it really is ridiculous. He is completely unproven baseball money is getting out of hand.


"hey im 6'2 220 and look like a LB and can bench press 300lbs so I should get 50m dollars baseball deal"

I dont like his swing in the videos I have seen this gamble to me is really not worth it.

I hope he picks some mystery team.
