That's great, but where does that get teams like the White Sox? Low attendance means less revenue which means smaller payroll. The Cubs were able to hire Theo and Jed who drafted well and now have the money to spend on free agents. Just wait until the Cubs launch their own TV network. Then people will really start to hate the Cubs because they'll have the ability to pay pretty much anything to anyone.

And yet the White Sox managed to win DESPITE being the red-headed stepchild in Chicago.

Seeing the Cubs listed as clear favorites does my heart well. When they lose (not if) it will be another happy day watching Cubs fans suffer yet again.

And they haven't done anything since then. They've made the playoffs once (?) since. At least the Cubs are consistent
