Are the Cubs playing Monopoly ?

I was bored today . . . and while I am a “vintage” card hobbyist (60's and 70's) and Chicago Cub fan, I still hope that the summer of 1969 repeats itself but with a different ending. I am sorry to those "modern day baseball enthusiasts" but I find myself compelled to comment on the latest of the Chicago Cubs acquisitions. Are the Cubs playing Monopoly with Milton Bradley ? It seems to be so.

They “purchased” a property that is terribly expensive and serves no purpose. $ 30 million for a DH – has anyone told the Cubs top brass recently that we are in the National League ! Buying Pennsylvania Avenue (Bradley) is the worst money wasting move any good Monopoly player can do. The Cubs are taking a Chance !

Will we end up advancing to Boardwalk but not making it all the way ?

Will the Cubs be sent “directly to jail” for deceiving us fans once again ?

Will the Cubs make it HOME but not much past.

Are we “going back three steps”.

I am sorry (yet still very hopeful) that the Cubs have decided to play Monopoly and take such a CHANCE with Milton Bradley.

I will stick to believing there is a new ending to the summer of 2009.
