njmeadowlanders Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 here is the link!Is this a sign of good times ahead for the Cubs? or more misery?If I were the Cubs I'd try to go the Chapter 7 route to discharge the past 100 years of futility but something tells me no bankruptcy court would allow that...

eriqjaffe Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 here is the link!Is this a sign of good times ahead for the Cubs? or more misery?It's just to speed the sale along by protecting the Ricketts family from claims by creditors of the Tribune Company.Or it's a really convoluted way of getting rid of Milton Bradley.

Jigga Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Contract 'em! In this economy, they don't need two baseball teams in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The Cubs are worth $845 million today, a whopping $824.5 more from what they were worth in 1981 ($20.5 mil)...WOW!Something brought to my attention last week:The Cubs plus Wrigley Field, one of the most adored franchises and stadiums in all of American professional sport, are worth $845 million when packaged together.The St. Louis Rams, a team with a withering fanbase, no apparent hope for the future, an out-of-date stadium which they don't own, and the reason for rams80's incredulous puppy, are estimated by Forbes to be worth $929 million on their own - $84 million more than the Cubs plus their never-fail tourist-trap ballpark.Now that either means the Rickettsesses got themselves a hell of a steal from the desperate Sam Zell, or damn, NFL's got some pull. Probably a mix of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm sure the fact you can move them in short order helps jack up the price.-------------------------------------Does this mean the Cubs are moving to Hamilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
