  • couldbewrong, on 02/19/2009, -0/+6"I'll tell ya what. Make it an even billion and we'll throw in Harry Caray's very well preserved cadaver. Look we've even installed a tiny speaker right here in his shirt collar and if you'll just press his left thumb gently he'll start si... just a second.... damn it, how come these things never work when you need to demo them?! Well anyway, we'll be sure it's fully functional when we sign the deal. So, what do you say?"
  • DeQuinceysDiet, on 01/22/2009, -1/+6Odd that they would wait until a White Sox fan takes the White House
  • ericsclark, on 01/22/2009, -1/+4I wish they would have sold to Mark Cuban (assuming he is definitely not a finalist). I think he could have been the kick in the ass that the Cubs need right now.
  • robbob, on 01/22/2009, -0/+2Cubbies are notorious for being everyone's favorite loser.
    We'll see if they do in fact win the 2015 World Series.
    ...to the Future!
  • mgadalsky, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2Quite doubtful. I'm not impressed. Butt dugg it for some reason. http://drinkster.info

  • inactive, on 04/22/2009, -0/+1You are such a douche bag.
  • intrepidDesign, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1You're obnoxious.
  • hmmmok, on 01/22/2009, -1/+2Now we'll finally get some contraction! Goodbye Cubs/Losers!!!
  • hmmmok, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1As a Yankee fan, I could easily root for the bosox before the Cubs. Boston has its obnoxious bandwagon fans, but Cubs fans -- their obnoxiousness is an art.
  • KJGJ, on 01/22/2009, -1/+2Hm, as far as I can tell I'm in the same reality. And the real obnoxious fans are the ones that go off on rants about other teams fans because they know their fans aren't as committed as Cubs fans are. Who's obnoxious now?
  • ironhaden, on 01/22/2009, -1/+1i bet its google. they are owning everything it seems like
  • ngeloh, on 01/22/2009, -1/+1"where it'll be a googol until they win the next world series"
  • jetblackz4, on 01/22/2009, -3/+3God himself could own the Cubs and they still would not win a World Series.
  • waterboy1628, on 01/22/2009, -3/+2I hope it's one of the Cubes
  • Mrandoman, on 01/22/2009, -3/+1Perhaps Barack Obama will find a loophole in the Constitution and get it for free.
