Cubs owner Tom Ricketts is the Vladimir Putin of Major League Baseball. “Control media, control minds!” is the belief that guides both government controlled media in Russia and Cubs controlled media in Chicago. Of course, reality is different. No one pays attention to Marquee Networks glad tidings and refusal to allow words like “rebuild” to escape […]
Greed is not good, and so I will have nothing more to do with Major League Baseball. Dissatisfaction bordering up abject indifference has been brewing within me for several years, but the current work stoppage orchestrated by owners who don’t want to share our money with the players has pushed me over the edge.

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.

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.
