After doing some thinking, I have decided  to concentrate on making this a positive site and try to eliminate the more negative elements. By this I mean I want to maintain an honesty but I want to keep things more upbeat. I hope to be adding more features of interest. This week Ive added a book review. Check out the blog section for my review of Fred Merkle:Public Bonehead, Private Hero. I will also be adding more players to the Al Montreuil Hall of Obscurity. This month I feature Tony Kaufman. I will also be adding a new section called the Cautious Optimist, which will feature stories on the current Cubs team which will try to focus on more postitive elements on the team. I love the Cubs and want to see them do better, but I get so tired of the negativity. I want to hear more postive stuff about them. So if anyone is reading this, feel free to give me some positive imput. I certainly wont ignore it if the team is really struggling, but I dont want to get into simple bashing. There are so many other places for that. So, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay here!
