Cuban talks about potential bid to buy the Cubs
Steve Safran September 22nd, 2007
Mark Cuban is among those in the bidding to buy the Chicago Cubs and, if this ESPN article is anything to go by, he’s a fan-favorite choice. Asked via email about his bid to buy the Cubbies, “the Mavericks’ owner coyly replied via e-mail, “All I can say is anything I do, I do to win.’” Tribune Co. is selling the Cubs, and it could cost the newcomers around $1 billion to buy the team and Wrigley Field. Cuban, of course, already owns the Dallas Mavericks and is noted for doing things his way - which may mean the stiffs who run MLB will take issue with his bid. But whether you like Mark or not (and - full disclosure - I do), you have to admit it would perfect to have a CUB-an own the team.

Go Blog Maverick, go! And bring back Dusty, please.

Dear God, no. Baker often pitched Prior and Wood into eighth inning permanent DL because he had no pen. Short term fix, long term consequences.
I want this to happen so badly. For years–pretty much my lifetime–the Trib showed no real signs of wanting to win. Why should they? They usually sold out, regardless if they were 10 games above .500 or 30 games below it.
