And so, for his first move as the “owner” of the Cubs, Tom Ricketts has not only decided to keep the pencil necked douchebag currently in charge of running the Cubs into the ground, he’s extended his stay.
Damien wasn’t this bad of an omen.
But hey, how can you not get behind the strategy of changing the culture of a franchise by doing things the way they have for the last 101 years of absolute failure?
That’s awesome.
Crane Kenney is everything that is and has been wrong with this franchise since the day PK Wrigley and his incompetence died. He’s a know nothing suit (just the next in a long line of them thanks to the souless Tribune) who thinks it’s neat to run a little baseball team and uses the field and the clubhouse as a place to entertain and impress his likeminded, also inbred pals.
Nothing is changing. Nothing ever changes around this place.
If you had any real hope that a new owner was going to turn things around, here’s your first real clue. He’s going to turn it around all right, 360 degrees and keep it pointed dead on to absolute humiliating failure.
Hope? There is no hope. Just despair and more losing and then the relief that only finally comes with death.
At least the White Sox have one imaginary, flukey World Series and lots of methamphetamine to console themselves with. What do the Cubs have? A legless announcer who wears a beaver pelt on his head and a Hall of Fame shortstop who looks just like Ronnie Woo Woo.
We are wasting our lives on this team, and they seem to enjoy reminding us of it and rubbing our faces in it on a daily basis.
The last, best hope is that Kenney’s being retained to do only legal work and negotiate TV and cable contracts related to a Cubs Network. If he has any say over baseball operations, including approval (or rejection) of contracts, this is DOOM.
Did FroDog hack the moranboard? What the fuck, Andy?
, as usual. Andy tho, is correct.
Anyone know where Crane lives? I know a guy….
Andy, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY6k50qB4Ys
Dammit, I’ve relied on you to correct my rampant pessimism towards the Cubs for several years. Everytime I feel like giving up, you’ve saved me with (what I thought was) realism. Now you are bailing on me?
This is a joke, right?
Please tell me you’re kidding.
Kudos to the Rickettsesses for listening to the Voice of the Fan!
Tom, you’re an asshole!
However, I’m starting to care a little less.
Good sign I think.
I gave up the day Bradley threw the ball in the stands against Minnesota, after which Uncle Lou sat on his hands. Screw this whole franchise. It’s been a great summer of golf and Bears training camp; the first of many major league baseball-free summers. It’s much easier on your constitution.
Go Packers!
How are things going?
like you crane
The White Sox winning the World Series was imaginary? What does that even mean and why are they mentioned obsessively every time you’re on the rag about the Cubs?
I talk about the Sox all the time. Check out my comprehensive coverage of the 2005 playoffs sometime. Or maybe you have to turn off your Internet machine now and hook the battery back up to the Camaro.
I didn’t know trailers got internet access. You learn something new every day… thanks SingSang!
Perhaps someone (#13) should reexamine what the words fluke and imaginary mean before they try to link the two as though they were synonymous.
YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS!!!!!
‘They’ve gone from suck to blow.’
Give me a break!
You know what really bugs me? Al Yellon, his mom is a whore.
#20 Andy Rooney, thanks. I needed that.
