Yeah, if the Cubs weren't concerned Ricketts wouldn't be writing a letter.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

THIS

Not THIS. A letter means he's scared??? He had some schmo write it up, signed it and said, "Jeez, that took even less effort than I thought"

I share a Cubs season ticket—I get ten games. I already told the holder I’m out for next year. I have two tix to a Wed 1:20 game on the the 23rd. I can’t go, and can’t find someone willing to go for free. So I’m eating $180.

This is the same reason I got rid of my Bears tix. Thursday night December games versus the Lions are worthless.

I’m better off just choosing the games I want to attend on the secondary market and optimizing the matchups/weather and paying a premium.

He wasn't writing letters when they were winning.

Get ready for the first "State of the Team" conference at the Oriental Theater in quite awhile.

I wonder when the Cubs will open a cannabis operation.

Bully Hendry would have signed Harper for 2.5 Billion over 30 years

Pot. brought to u by Ryan Dempster.

Can u imagine a commercial of Dempster advertising the pot operation?

Sandberg is pimping weed now. Check out his billboards on 294.

That's just it. I don't think it is "always going to be there". I think the success and the World Series win ended that. The Cubs aren't going to be Lovable Losers when they lose 100 games next season. They'll just be losers.

One thing I remember bernstein saying a long time ago is that Cub games were singular events. Lots of fans attended the games and if they lost it was a great time and if they won it was even better. But the win or loss wasn't related to the larger season or the pursuit of a championship. The Cubs win a championship? That was a pipedream. Like watching greyhounds chasing a mechanical rabbit you knew they would never catch.

That's all gone now. The Cubs are a normal team. Wrigley isn't quaint the way it used to be. There are hideous video boards cluttering the outfield and screaming walkup music by Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkey.

They aren't going to be given the Lovable Loser breaks the way they used to be. My friend who is the biggest Cub fan I know and has had season tickets for 25 years said he's out next season. I doubt that will actually be the case, but one thing for sure, he ain't happy and that's something new.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

I don't blame anyone for not going. Why should anyone pay to see what they're putting on the field?
I know you're just trying to dunk of cubs fans. Because you're awesome. But I'm not watching and I'm certainly not gonna pay for that shit.

I'm not dunking on Cub fans. I'm pointing out that just throwing open the gates to Wrigley ain't gonna cut it anymore.

That's true. The fans aren't demented party animal lap dogs anymore.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

But your awesomeness needed to be addressed.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Well not at $80 for a ticket to the Bud Light Bleachers Presented by Toyota.

I had a buddy offer a "B1G1" for Cubs Sox Sunday night..good, not great seats up the 1st base line. $180.

Insanity.

What is your field called today?

Did the check clear?

Not really. The amount of ads and signage there is at Wrigley makes it look like a giant NASCAR.

Yeah, no other stadium in the city has signage in it.
