My patience is running out, and there seems to be more excuses than Hawks have taken penalties. Make a play. Score a goal. Win a game. about 20 hours ago from Twitter for Android
It'd be nice if the Hawks could generate the scoring chances Detroit does on their penalty kill, you know, while on the PP and all. about 21 hours ago from Twitter for Android

Cubs’ Debt Crushes Payroll

By bullpenbrian - January 15, 2010 - 1:15 am Leave a comment.

The misconception with the Cubs is that new owner Tom Ricketts has money growing on trees.

He doesn’t, of course, and is instead saddled with a huge amount of debt that limits the payroll for the 2010 season.

Beyond 2010 it’s likely Ricketts increases the club’s payroll given a frugal budget this season along with the renovations coming to Wrigley Field in the near future.
