Yes we get it.. You hate the Ricketts..
Actually with almost any ownership change.. especially ones closing in on a billion there's going to be some debt involved.
I think we will be pursuing the big fish if it gets to the sea.

My favorite teams
I may not be Ricketts fan either, but they want to at least please the fans when they come to the stadium. It's still not truly their team either, with the contracts that are still on the books for this year and the next couple of years.
As someone on here mentioned earlier, it was flawed when Mark Cuban not only offered more money to buy the Cubs, but he probably would not have went into debt over it.
What the owners didn't understand is that if the Cubs do well, more people are interested in baseball because they have a nationwide fanbase, and the fact they haven't won anything worth mentioning since 1945.

The Ricketts family was worth about $1.2 billion and bought the Cubs and everything that came with it for like $900 million....that can't be normal, can it? They're poor.
