tico, could you expand on that? Why is it implausible that the Cubs might elect to spend ~10th?
Also, when you say that's "before considering" the banked-dollars notion, are you saying even with banked dollars, that ~10th is even then still an unimaginable scenario? Or are you saying that ~10th is unimaginable before the banked dollars, but that with the addition of hypothetically banked dollars, perhaps ~10th might become plausible?
Its not implausible, unfortunately. It should certainly be unacceptable.
