Last time I checked, the ONLY thing that matters in Nebraska is Husker Football...<BR/><BR/> You ask most people in Chicago and especially those in Wrigleyville, (myself included) are sickened at the idea of someone outside the boundries of Chicago owning the Cubs. <BR/><BR/>Stick with what you know best Omaha, college football..

The Cubs are going to leave decades of tradtion in Des Moines (and a shorter commute for players) because the Cubs owner MAY own the naming rights to Omaha's 2-weeks-a-year White Elephant stadium?<BR/><BR/>PCL teams...or any minor league team for that matter....have ZERO impact or influence on their parent club. The Major League Club simply supplies the players, while the minor league team does all the rest of the logistic work. <BR/><BR/>So why again would they just up and move? And does ANYBODY in their right mind think that the Des Moines people....(and don't kid yourself..that is a true Cubs town, not a trendy bandwagon hub like Omaha) would just say, "Sure Omaha..we'll trade you our iconic MLB tie for your tie with a long-time doormat!<BR/><BR/>You people are truly crazy, and I just use this as yet another example of Omaha fans thinking the sports world revovles around them.<BR/><BR/>I do agree with you though that the Royals are poorly run, and that all Michigan hockey players are goons.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518175756747531986noreply@blogger.com
