bankruptcy... According to ESPN just a minute ago.

WTF, does this mean? How will it affect the Cubbies? Will it hurt the
club?
Can we dump Soriano, Bradley, or any other high paid non-performer?

Will they tear down Wiggley?

What happened to Doublemint, Juicy Fruit, and Spearmint? Candy? What?

BTW.... I don't post much here, but I have noticed "BubbleGum Head" has
been missing for quite a while... But when he does post, it's always a
substantive, articulate, and informative comment.

the Cub's future...!
