I think thats a great thing for the Chicago fans and team.
For the first time in MY life, they will have an owner that will spend money to become a good team, baby steps....

It would be nice to see them spend some money and get good players for a change.
This past offseason must have been money spent to attract a potential owner.

You guys do understand that Zell has a history of buying companies, and selling them for their assets, don't you?

For my sermon this morning I did a little research into "designer" caskets, including MLB designs. The Cubs casket was supposed to be the most requested, but there were no definite figures on how many of those were suicides.
