1 - My standard question. Would you rather see the Cubs win the World Series in 2008, but then finish in the basement every year thereafter till 2020? Or see them make the playoffs every year from now until 2020 but never win the WS once in that time frame?

2 - If the MLB decided they wanted an even number of teams in the AL and NL would you rather

A) move one team to the AL and have 15 teams per league (which would mean a lot more inter-league games)
B) Add two more expansion teams?
or
C) Contract two teams, and, if so, who? (Can be in either league, move teams to compensate if AL team(s) contracted)

3 - What action are you willing to take, if any, if they sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field?

1. World Series, and the sucking. Why would I want to be dissapointed every year? "Oh we made it again, but fell short." I'd rather have it all, and then during the suck time I could say "Well they can never take that away from me." because I'd always remember it. Nothing would impact Chicago more then a Cubs world series.

2. A) Move one team to the AL. We don't have enough talent to go around as it is. If anything we need to get rid of the Marlins, KC, Tampa, and Nationals. Then move an NL team to the AL. Each league would have 13 teams.

B) Las Vegas and Indianapolis

C) Ah I see I answered my own question. Well I'd go with KC and Tampa. Tbe shift the NL around accordingly.

Ah, I see

I'm used to it being a separate post or stated at the end of the last one and overlooked it.

Ah, my bad Leo. Wasn't trying to throw you off, but after I posted that I didn't think about posting it again at the end.
