...not for me I'm afraid. The Tribune Company has owned the Cubs for 25 years has had only one thing in mind and as most people in Chicago know winning a World Series has never been one of them. Thankfully the Sox did it a few years back in 2005 as that'll be the one taste I've ever had in this city of baseball champions and probably the last.
Profits have always been and now that the Tribune, also owners of the liberal rag LA Slimes, is hitting the skids as well along with the rest of the liberal MSM the Cubs are getting launched as of this morning at the end of this 2007 season.
I myself was a onetime employee of the Tribune Company which I blogged about once before in these pages and I know first hand what matters to them most of all.
With opening days today for our baseball teams along with many others, my mind
and emotions will be elsewhere as after this past Bears football season ending in a typical glorious Chicago style loss, I don't need to keep sticking my hands into the flames to keep getting burned year after year after year.I'm not one of these pathological do or die, one or the other type fans that hates the southside or the northside, just a Chicagoan who's a equal supporter of both. Sadly though I've grown bored with baseball in particular as the country has been at war entangled in the War on Terror and with liberals which has gotten most of my attention over the past 3 years, mostly with the blog over the past one.
I will however quietly keep one ear to the scores and standings for now, but for the most part I'm taking a break this year from the boys of summer. At least as long as the Cubs and White Sox are in the cellars of their respective divisions, which they will be after today's season opening losses this afternoon. (lol)
Tribune to sell Cubs
Chicago Tribune: "The Chicago Cubs, who open the 2007 baseball season today, will have a new owner in 2008.
Tribune Co., which announced this morning that it was accepting a plan from Chicago billionaire Sam Zell to go private, also announced its intent to sell the Chicago Cubs baseball team and its 25 percent stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
The company, which purchased the Cubs and Wrigley Field in 1981, expects to complete the sale in the fourth quarter of this year."
