They cut the Wrigley grounds crew hours so they wouldn't have to pay health insurance....then it rained. A lot.

Jesus. Those one who sucks the peniss rake money in hand over fist and they don't want to pay out what might amount to $50 grand a year in health insurance premiums for the grounds crew?

Would you want to pay out 50 grand to pay health insurance for a crew that can't even tarp a diamond correctly?

I blame the umps more than anything for that shit. It was literally pouring down rain as hard as you'll ever see and they were out there wondering if they should stop the game. So by the time the tarp was coming out they were also trying to pull hundreds of lbs of water.

Cubs are rebuilding now and KC is in win mode, so payroll comparison doesn't make much sense in this case. If/when the Cubs top prospects get to the bigs that number will climb.

Just last season even, the Cubs had an opening day payroll of $104M, higher than any KC payroll in their history.
2011 Cubs had a payroll of $125M.

Cubs' payroll will be a lot more next season. I expect them to go heavy after a #1 pitcher. Right now they have a team full of rookies and cast offs with Rizzo and Castro.

They are a joke. They tried buying titles and failed miserably....like usual

Trouble is sports organizations are ran different than a normal business. Owners have to reprogram their brain into this a hobby that makes me money, not a normal business that makes money.
