No, this was the next step in the process.
It shouldn’t take more than a few days to finish this.

I THINK WE SHOULD VOID SORIANOS CONTRACT WHILE WE ARE BANKRUPT
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

Can't do that

More details on this here:
Now that Tribune Co. has finalized a deal to unload the team to the Ricketts family, it is passing the Cubs through bankruptcy court to give the new owners comfort that the creditors in the original case have no claim against the sold company. When it filed for bankruptcy, Tribune Co. was $13 billion in debt.
The Cubs’ stay in bankruptcy is expected to last just one day. The bankruptcy judge in the Tribune Co. case has scheduled a hearing on Tuesday.

That Jessica didn’t comment on the photo that accompanied the story!

Missed it
Not sure Sam’s photo accompanying a bankruptcy filing makes my heart go pitter patter.

I am trying to restrain myself
I was VERY tempted to buy this on eBay. I mean an autographed ball is one thing but I prefer the off beat. It did not
sell so if the price drops I might get it.

Indeed
If I were not still unemployed I probably would have jumped at it.

That's rare
Go for it! It’s relatively cheap.

Unfortunately, the auction ended last night.
Sold for $12.99, which is only $1 more than a NON autographed coloring book sells for.

Um actually Al
It did NOT sell and the guy had it as a “buy it now” but I am just so cheap these days.

Bankruptcy's like celebs adopting babies.

Cheap "Bank-Rupture" relief for the next few days...
Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.
