Cubs owner Tom Ricketts will host a horrifying self-congratulatory party Thursday as his team craters

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts is a tone-deaf buffoon. When The Athletic’s Jon Greenberg reported yesterday that the Ricketts Family has scheduled a party this Thursday to honor themselves for “saving” Wrigley Field, I believed it was a parody. After all, the Cubs lost their 12th straight last night with what is now a triple-A roster […]

The Cubs need to tear it down to the studs to hang another banner from the rafters. Team president Jed Hoyer is working the phones trying to get back some value in exchange for the spate of pending free agents his roster sports. Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, and Craig Kimbrel are going to […]

Christmas has come and gone, but as the Cubs continue to lance payroll at every turn, it’s time for a peek at Chicago’s least favorite family – the Ricketts.

Evil pinheads own my favorite baseball team, and they traded away their best pitcher today for four teenage prospects and a starter who makes Greg Maddux look like a body builder. The Ricketts Family, led by world class profiteer Tom, have correctly assessed the Cubs fanbase as rubes eager to dole out cash for the Wrigley […]

Cubs president Theo Epstein is leaving the team on Friday, and there is a lot of chatter about what nefariousness occurred to cause this change at the top of the franchise’s front office. The answer appears to be that Epstein is leaving because the time has come. It’s simple as that. Sometimes the most least […]

To watch or not to watch – that is the question. Baseball’s resumption in one month presents a huge question for Cubs fans. Do we trust content providers like Comcast and YouTube to get a deal done with the Marquee Network, change providers, or forego Cubs baseball for the 60-game sprint to the playoffs. I […]

Billionaires care most about money. That’s why they are billionaires. Major League Baseball franchise owners are billionaires, so why does it surprise anyone that they are united it their refusal to pony up $20 million each to get players back on the field? The discord between owners and the players union is easy to explain. […]
