Cubs cashing in big time

[ironman]

Andy MacPhail, Cubs president and CEO, said he believes the Cubs will have the highest payroll in the National League. The Maddux signing pushed it to about $92 million, and the team is negotiating long-term deals with pitcher Kerry Wood and first baseman Derrek Lee. The Cubs started last year with a payroll of about $80 million, seventh in the NL.

Good. Hopefully they get buried under the weight of those long term deals.

They are the Evil Empire - National League version. Soon all of America will hate only the Yankees more than the c*bs.

Actually, it's about time the Cubs put some of their considerable money to good use. They certainly waited long enough to do so.

It's better that they spend it on players than put it in their own pockets.

Kaiser my boy - we both knew how this would end - after all it was the Cubs.
