Attendance is not down, so do they really care?

I think Ricketts wants to win. He wouldn’t have given the OK to sign Bregman or Maton for his $$ if he didn’t. You could put together a cheaper team to go .500.
Maybe he shouldn't have. .250 5 HRs 19 RBI's - 7.08 ERA 1.72 WHIP
They won't feel the attendance punch until the end of August when the kids go back to school, the season is pretty much in the toilet and people have moved on to football season.
Right now, these tickets were purchased months ago and a bad day at Wrigley in the summer is better than a good day doing most anything else.
That's what's depressing.
However, Marquee viewership dips dramatically when they stink and they care about that.
Glad Brown is getting his due. He's taken a lot of heat as he figured things out.
in general , the Ricketts have been decent owners . Wrigley is awesome as is the neighborhood because of it .
2016 was a dream
but, it’s clear that winning 94 games every year just isn’t a priority for them .I don’t expect that to change anytime soon . So we will probably only get a division winner once every 5-6 years and a wildcard twice every 5-6 years . I don’t see a NLCS or WS appearance ever .
Wow, season is already over in the first week in June? Certainly Cubs hit a rough spot and division title is looking like a reach, but still firmly in wild card race. And if I’m not mistaken, three years ago both teams in WS didn’t win their division and the year before that the WS loser didn’t win division. Uphill battle? Sure. But it’s a long season. Cubs are 5-5 over last 10, have won 2 of last 3, and play 17 straight games against teams under .500.
