The profits they'd reap from sellouts kept them comfortable.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm not as objective as I want to be, but it seems too much a coincidence that the Cubs became consistently competitive since we heard the rumblings of the team on the sales block.<BR/><BR/>My father-in-law died on January 3.
