This old, tired, lame argument again?
Don't blame the Yankees that your team doesn't care enough about their fans to spend a few more bucks to get a decent team.
Besides, money isn't everything. It is possible that with another fluke like last year, the Cubs might make the playoffs.


And.......while the Yankees are busy in spring training, getting readay for another great year, look what the Cubs are doing????
You can't stop a curse! Just ask Boston!

It might be, it could be ...
Cubs fans cheer as FX expert makes sure Bartman ball is outta here

Sparks fly moments before the Bartman baseball is destroyed Thursday night in Chicago.

CHICAGO (AP) -- The baseball blamed by many Chicago Cubs fans for the team's playoff disaster last year was reduced to a pile of thread on live television Thursday evening by a Hollywood special effects expert.
Fans sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game before the ball was destroyed in a flash of light inside a bulletproof tank in a stunt designed by Oscar winner Michael Lantieri, who worked on Jurassic Park and Back to the Future.
"We're using a combination of pressure, heat and explosives in this bulletproof tank to destroy that ball so it will not resemble a ball at all when we're finished," Lantieri said earlier Thursday on NBC's Today show, which was broadcasting live from Chicago.
Hundreds of people gathered downtown Thursday night around Harry Caray's Restaurant for the event where the ball was destroyed in a tent outside the restaurant. Some fans were decked out in Cubs gear, others wore replicas of the famous broadcaster's signature glasses and one man was covered in ivy.
Whether the ball was possessed by the curse that legend says afflicts the Cubs or not, fans were happy to see it go. To some, the destruction is a sign of the good things to come this season.
"I think it's very appropriate, it's symbolic of a new beginning," said Rachel Cannon of Chicago.
Claudette Dockery of Chicago agreed.
"The can cremate the ball for all I care or send it over Lake Michigan, the best I believe is yet to come," she said.
Cubs fans are ready to move on from the infamous moment.
With the Cubs leading the Florida Marlins 3-0 on Oct. 14 and just five outs from their first World Series appearance since 1945, Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for the ball hit toward his front-row seat at Wrigley Field, knocking it away from left fielder Moises Alou. The Cubs then gave up eight runs to the Marlins, and squandered another lead in Game 7 the next night.
In its final hours, the ball was put on display, given a massage and treated to a "last meal" of steak and lobster, or at least the aroma.
Grant DePorter, who helped buy the ball at an auction for $113,824 on behalf of Harry Caray's Restaurant Group, lined up hours of music, comedy and celebrity appearances.
"It's like the ring from The Lord of the Rings and we're kind of like Frodo, trying to get it over with," Deporter said.
Bartman, who has made no public statements since issuing an apology in October, did not plan to attend, a family friend said.
So much has been made of the ball's fate that even German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, speaking to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, was aware that something was happening involving the Cubs, if perhaps a bit confused about what.
"I very much hope that thing about the National League championship is going to play out the way you want it to," he said.
