So the Chicago Cubs have lost 10 games in a row. Do you think it might

19. Exactly right.

They are a mess, to grossly understate things. I'd somewhat liken the Ricketts purchase of the Cubs to President Obama's inheriting a country that run by Dumbya and the GOP for 8 years. That's how screwed up things are. Most folks knew they were going to be bad this year. I wasn't however, expecting them to be THIS bad. Although, to be fair, they do have a ton of players on the injury list, including THREE catchers! They do have a few good youngsters, and hopefully, they won't be ruined by management stupidity, they way other young talent has been in the past. See: Mark Pryor, Kerry Wood. But, yeah, they suck.

No telling what the fans will do. A lot of them are your suburban republican types, who probably think the Ricketts are heroes, save for Laura. So, some will not desert them over the political shit. One of the problems with the Cubs has long been the fact that they have become trendy, thanks to their losing ways, and various pop culture things, like "the Bleacher Bums". So, there will still be the crowd that thinks it's "hip" to sit out in the bleachers, get shit-faced drunk and heckle everyone, even though they don't know shit about baseball. I really don't think they will be setting any attendance records if this keeps up, however. I have noticed lots of empty seats as of late.
