The Chicago Cubs can’t get anything right
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | Chicago Cubs, MLB
We have a team that has not won a World Series in over 100 years and it doesn’t look like this year will turn out any better. To make things worse the Chicago Cubs can’t even sell themselves. This is a team that is always a top ten team when it comes to ticket sales and sold out games. Yesterday it was reported that the Ricketts bid was finalized and the deal was moving forward even though they lowered the price a little from the $900 million that was originally reported. Today, we hear that none of this was true and that Marc Utay private equity group is still in the running and that they have an agreed upon deal that is for more then $900 million but would offer less cash upfront. To all of this I say WHAT? Come on Cubs fans how are you still going to games and watching these games on TV? What is it going to take for you guys to get fed up and tell this team if you do not do something right we are out of here?
Oh yeah one thing I left out was Ryan Dempster is on the DL for a broken toe after he jumped over a railing going into the dugout. At this point this team is a joke, fans need to boycott this team until they do something other then just raise ticket prices and food prices. Maybe if Lou wakes up and Jim Hendry makes some more great deals like the Soriano and Bradley deals, they really paid off.
