Public money being used to fatten the bottom line of wealthy people is the American way. I thought you right-wingers were into that?

Default Ricketts now acting like a spoiled brat at a birthday party

If he doesn't get his way, he'll move the team.
Knock knock, hello Rosemont!

Moving to Rosemont would be one of the worst things the Cubs could do. There's a reason why the Cubs get good attendance, and only a small part of it has to do with the actual team.

The Cubs should move to Gary
they would be a boon for that city and help get Gary on its feet again. Not to mention there already is a stadium there and it can easily be expanded.

Lord knows, if there is a Lord, it's not exactly as if my Cubs were a winning team. If the owner does follow through with his threat, he'll make a heck of a lot of people very, very angry.

He'll also realize he'll probably make less money. I really don't care about Rosemont's new entertainment district...not going to work as well.
