Cubanomics
As a lifelong Chicago South Sider, I've rarely rooted for the Cubs . But now, after 100 years of futility, it is clear that the Cubs need to do something to shake the gloom at Wrigley Field . Mark Cuban 's buying the Cubs , as Chris Ballard suggests (POINT AFTER, Jan. 14), is just what is needed. Fans and players would have more fun, and that would translate into wins. The team has been nothing more than a cash cow for the last couple of owners.
