I'm not sure this isn't something that seems obvious, but one might wonder about all the day games/different starting times playing a slight factor in consistent performance.

Scan down this web site. I've never seen these images of Chavez Ravine before Dodger Stadium, and subsequent construction. Apparently, the images are from the USC Archives.

Bears/Chargers fan here... I read but have never posted. When the Metrodome fell apart, this was my first thought. SB Nation thinks so too, so I moved their post here....
OT: Here's ownership that deserves criticism
There's been a lot of moaning and complaining about the still-youthful stewardship of the Cubs by the Ricketts family.
None of knows now what exactly is going to happen. We can speculate (usually negatively) but (to use a cliche') time will tell.
We have been able to determine Dodgers ownership is corrupt. Here's how they dumped long time broadcaster Ross Porter....
Rare Color Footage of 1943 NFL Championship game at Wrigley Field. This comes 2 games in -- 2 Bears NFL Championship losses to the Redskins -- The '43 Monsters of the Midway do win.
Even though this is a Redskins video, more Bears footage is featured later on -- a charity game, as the Bears wear orange.

It's a Cubs uniform! No, wait, does that say...what I think it says?
And we do remember the 90s road unis where the "Cubs" written script looked like "Cuba..."
The Padres STILL want to rub salt in a wound...
I really don't use foul language on these pages, but I am thinking of a certain action that the Padres should perform on themselves....
Fill in your own Caption.
"The Cubs need all the help they can get."
Given the fact the Astrodome was a House of Horrors for the Cubs, the cartoon is appropriate.
It takes a lot for me to praise the Padres.....

It has been so much worse. The long-timers have pointed this out here more than a few times along the way after the failures of the past few years, when so much was expected. I've found a Chicago Tribune Magazine piece from July 10, 1966. This piece of feature journalism from that era illustrates the pathetic scene that was Chicago Cubs baseball from that era. (Obviously, there is no link.)
The article was written by Ridgely Hunt. He is not a sportswriter, nor is he a baseball fan. That's obvious from the tenor of the article, much of which was fairly sarcastic and somewhat skeptical of people who like baseball. It was evident he didn't like baseball very much, and implied it was boring.
Today, such an article might be found in a non-mainstream publication, such as the Chicago Reader.
Anyway, Hunt does provide a glimpse into the sad shape of the 1966 Cubs. Here are some excerpts.

Unfortunately, I cannot make the trip to the Valley Of The Sun this season. But, friends of mine are keeping me posted about their Cactus League experience this spring.
