My initial reaction was negative, but it's not really meant for adults. My son loves mascots, and so he'll probably love this. I don't think it takes anything away from the game. So...meh. Whatever.

[Sammys Boombox]

At least it looks like he'll only be on the concourse...

 

But they'll show him on the video board.

 

Ricketts. Pure evil.

So, is this a 50 or 75 million dollar expenditure for Ricketts to prove the money is staying in house?

[gscool89]

Damn it.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

bring back the live bear

[davell]

Does a mascot salary count against the baseball ops budget?

[NOLA]

I hate this. Sure, today he's only in the concourse. By 2015 he'll be shooting t-shirts into the crowd, dancing like an idiot in the bleachers.

[Sammy Sofa]

He looks like he's trying not to cry.

[bukie]

It's a vast improvement to Ronnie Woo Woo.

 

EDIT: In fact, if they took Ronnie Woo Woo, put him in this getup, and made him stay quiet, this is the best thing to happen to the franchise this offseason.

Way off topic, but Keith is engaged to Winona from Justified.

[Old Style]

They finally figured out why the Cubs haven't won a World Series in 100+ years. God bless the Rickettseses.

[UMFan83]

Was this a demand by Tanaka?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

My urge to hate everything this ownership does is being pitted against my hatred of people who think arbitrary lines in the sand for their sports team are some kind of moral crusade.

This is the most infuriating Cubs news in years. Maybe ever.

[davell]

Dear God, it tweets.

 

Cub fan want list-Tanaka

[A New Era]

Yay! Now WE can finally have a mascot pretend to sniff an opposing player's ass while they work out and faint.

If the entire family were to die tomorrow, this is the Ricketts' Cubs legacy. So awesomely appropriate.
