PrintThe SunTimes is reporting that Mark Cuban is currently in town and meeting with the Tribune Co. today about the purcahse of the Cubs.
SunTime Article "The Sail Of The Century" Link
As you read this, Mark Cuban will be in Chicago, doing his thing one more time for the purchase. People may have thought the brash and eager Cuban was out of the running, but that's not so.
Kenney isn't discussing particulars -- in a sense he is participating in his own potential demise -- but Cuban is the guy who understands what the Cubs are truly worth.
Previous reports saying he was out, were obviously premature. I'm glad to hear he's still in the running.

Cuban was on either CNN or Fox the other night
answering questions abou the economy—obviously -no dummy-they finished by asking him if this was a good time to buy a MLB team…he busted out laughing.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
his responce was...
“Its always a good time to buy a good baseball team”
and that was of course...
a good answer
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Ha, ha! I like that guy...
Don’t know if he’d be a good owner, but he’d be better than many others….like the lame Nats and Orioles’ owners that we have here in DC.

He took a bit of a controversial stance on the economy
But I still want him to own the Cubs.

Why does that make me think of the line...
….“We can talk about burying the hatchet. You know what a hatchet is, don’t you, Bug?”
Sharp enough to shave a gnat...
….you know what a gnat is dont you Bug? Wait a minute Bug-Gnat do I see a little similarity

Amen to that.
I may follow up the Presidential Debates with a little Uncle Buck tonight. The Godfather will have to be pushed back in the rotation.

Me and my best friend always say that to each other when a group comes on we’ve never heard before.
Never, but NEVER, put ketchup on a hot dog.

..i like to keep mine nice and sharp."

What does Deep Goat say on the team sale front Al?
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

I know some stuff.
But I can’t say.

Second coming of Veck
All the good and the bad… mostly good of course
Cubs Karma: Don't take anything for granted.....
But with MONEY.
That is what Veeck never had and why he could never compete with his teams.

Reading that headline I thought the Cubs were scouting Cuban baseball players...
Really? The Tribune Co. is meeting with Raul Castro?
Proud recipient of a hot dog shot from the Iowa Cubs hot dog gun.
It's down to Mark Cuban and the Ricketts in my opinion
Both parties can do a cash deal with zero financing if they want to. Ricketts have a $3.5 billion cash position in all their holdings right now. The current Wall Street and LaSalle Street private equity types can’t and will be especially pinned in given the nation’s current financial crisis.
Bud Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf are going to have to acquiesce quite a bit to allow Cuban into the fraternity. That’s why I think it will be the Ricketts in the end.
