Chuck's just going to say some dumb shit about how he should have fired Hendry sooner, the TV deal should be done, Crane Kenney, blah blah fucking blah.

The Ricketts family (J. Joseph, Marlene, Pete, Tom, Laura and Todd) are the best Cubs owners in history, and that includes William Wrigley Jr., the gum magnate whose death in the early 1930s derailed what would have been a fantastically successful dynasty. They have kept Crane Kenney off the street, exposed Rahm Emanuel as a petulant jerk, annoyed Chuck, signed off on an extensive rebuilding that most owners would not endure, rebuilt Wrigley Field with mostly private dollars, and invited me to their receptions before Game 3 of the NLDS and NLCS.

Tom Ricketts runs the team with some assist from Laura and a little bit from Todd, who would probably remind all of you that "Fuck, it's silent in here," as he and J. Joseph are busy with their PACs. Pete is busy running Nebraska, and enjoys a 60 percent approval rating, so yes, Chuck is probably wrong.

Tom Ricketts also has bumped into me three times. Once, it was on Waveland as he was pulling his Beamer out onto Clark following a Cubs win over the Dodgers in Sept. 2014 (heretofore known as the "Chris Coghlan game"). Those who might have witnessed that might have wondered why Tom did not take the opportunity to run me over. Next time he bumped into me, I asked him if he's ever been seen in the same room as Ted Cruz, which made me only the 728,000th person to bring that up to him.

(But really:



)


As for Todd, he's not as dumb as he looks. Misunderestimate him at your own risk.

[Yeti]

On most of the non-baseball stuff, they can kindly get fucked.

However, they're doing great things with the baseball team, so yay

They have a way to go to match up to the cascading triumvirate of Lasker, Weeghman, and Wrigley who modernized the ballpark and won 3 pennants before Bill died.

But I'll give you they are in the top 10 owners in franchise history.

You're a funny guy, Chuck.

Todd's gonna Todd.

Todd's gonna Todd.

Fuck the Mets. Sylvie and Todd are OK by me.

If you don't enjoy watching the Mets lose, there's something wrong with you.
