I understand your point & we might just have to agree to disagree. Neither thing I mentioned could happen really without some (retro) restructuring. (A WS played into the month of November is what police would call a clue.) While it has worked out lately for the Cubs, I was speaking more in general terms of baseball long-term. RE current situation, as a Cubs fan I never underestimate another teams' ability to go to school & bring it when it counts. Seen that movie before.

Completely agree as to the NBA. All they do is get really obnoxious colors put on sneakers that people pay too much (or steal) for.
