These are my expectations going forward. Anything less than this is failure.
2014: Within 2 games of .500
2015: Make the playoffs or have at least 87 wins.
After that competitive at least every other year.

Also, a top 10-15 payroll, and if they are winning and need to keep players then a top 10 payroll.

Right. If Cubs fans set those as the expectations 3 years ago - BRick and JORR would fight each other to post about it first

Why do you care what my personal expectations are for a team you have repeatedly said you don't care about? :lol:

:lol:

Isn't the State of Illinois broke? Is it reasonable to expect Jerry can extract more transfer payments to support a top 10-15 payroll?

I care about both teams. I want the Cubs to win a World Series too. Where are you getting that I don't care about the Cubs?

You say it whenever you feel like arguing about why Cubs fans post about the Sox.

Link please.

If I have ever said that, then I was completely wrong in saying it.

I have said I care more about the Sox than the Cubs but that isn't the discussion here.

Chicago White Sox fans: Happy with better than mediocre "at least every other year."

DON'T TAKE MY THOUGHTS AS THE THOUGHTS OF ALL WHITE SOX FANS!

I can understand you looking at it that way.
