And the new owner of the Cubs is...

[Andre Dawson's Creek]

I just need to know if Ricketts is the RIGHT owner.

Apparently he is.  But I won't hold that against him.

Personally, I'm happy if the Ricketts group is the new owner. Tom Ricketts is from Chicago and is a Cubs fan, and once lived over one of the bars near the ballpark. If he opens up his wallet -- and I expect he would -- I think we'll all be very happy with the results.

Tom Ricketts GETS IT. Unless he doesn't open up his wallet. Or if he uses a money clip. Then we'll have to wait and see.

I like that "open up his wallet" line.  I mean, unless this guy plans on trading 2/3rds of the team prior to spring training, the Trib has already opened his wallet for him.  I'm certainly not expecting a sudden surge in payroll from the current numbers.

Maybe he can find another 63 million or so over the next four years for one more employee?

I'm just saying....

You're asking for 1 million per inch?

If he opens up his wallet -- and I expect he would -- protects my number one motivation for being a fan--Wrigley Field----I think we'll all be very happy with the results.

What that chode really means but is careful about just coming out and saying'd.

We can't all release our sexual tensions by playing the guitar.  Some of us gotta see some zebra secks.

I just can't believe you gave me an opening to talk about zorses so soon. I found that shit this morning. I have been dying to discuss the endless possibilities of zorses.

Mix a zebra and a donkey? Zonkey.

A Zetland Zony? You better believe it, Buster Brown.

If there's one complaint about the current Cubs - it's that they don't spend enough money on scouting and player development.

Maybe Hendry should pay them more so they choose to be not ghey.

Secede? And start your own Union in your treehouse, and get all your little friends to come?

I'd like to see you try that!
