From the Chicago Tribune:
The family that founded discount broker TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. has joined the list of potential bidders for the Chicago Cubs, the Tribune has learned.
Sources close to the situation said the Ricketts family of Omaha and Chicago has signed a non-disclosure agreement with Cubs owner Tribune Co. and is readying the application Major League Baseball requires of all parties wishing to bid on one of its franchises.
The Ricketts group is being led by Thomas Ricketts, the 41-year-old founder and chief executive of Chicago-based Incapital Holdings LLC, an investment banking firm.
Yeah. Looks like Pete Ricketts’ little brother wants to buy the Cubs. God help us all.
I’m glad we have a reason to use that picture again. poor cubs!
Just another reason to hate the cubs. Go Yankees!
New York Yankees: 43-43, 10 games out of first.
Chicago Cubs: 44-43, 4.5 games out of first.
Seems like they both suck just about as much as the other. But I don’t want to pile on the Cubs fans right now. It can’t help having the Ricketts and Mark Cuban fighting over your team.
God I hate even looking at that record, but I have a feeling that Boston will drop the ball like they do every year.
Yeah, poor Cubs…
