There’s a quote about the definition of insanity that’s widely attributed to Albert Einstein, I’m sure you know the one. Something about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Kind of like my son asking me if he can have an all-sweats week at school and then acting as if “No” actually means “Please ask three more times.”
You know, I kinda wonder if that’s what it was like around the Cubs offices this winter, with Theo Epstein repeatedly asking Tom Ricketts for more money to make a big splash. Absent a major roster addition, the Cubs are going to have to make things work with what they’ve got.
