The Curse of Wrigley Field

Jayson Stark at ESPN.com recently examined what impact the Cubs will make with their record amount of signings in the offseason.  In total, the club handed out just under $300 million worth of contracts, an all time record and the final prognosis is that the Cubs can’t help getting better with their new players because it’s hard to go down any further.  It’ll still be interesting to see whether the Cubs will be able to make a run at the division title.  A lot still rides on the health of guys like Mark Prior, Kerry Wood and Derek Lee.
