November 15, 200718 yr Interesting read in the Daily Herald today. I'm surprised it wasn't posted as it is interesting even if it involves the Cubs. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=77028 PT Barnum was right about suckers. Bob

November 15, 200718 yr QUOTE(G&T @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 06:45 AM) The Score reported yesterday that they were raising payroll to $115 or $120 million. They have to. About 5 players have enormous backloaded contracts that increase every year.

When I heard the report I assumed they planned on taking on more salary, as in more players. I guess they'll be increasing payroll whether they sign more guys or not.
November 15, 200718 yr I can't really blame them. Every home game is sold out, and their customers have demonstrated that they are more than willing to pay higher prices, since a very large number of tickets are being resold at a higher price.

I don't blame them either, I'm just surprised the fans keep paying to see them. Bob
