For some reason, I don't have the visceral dislike for the Tribune people that I have for the Ricketts. Beyond team related reasons I think it's just easier to have a visceral reaction to the Ricketts for non baseball reasons. Is that it? Yes, that is probably a portion. But with this team going into the season everyone kind of knew this was the last season. Instead of trying to compete, they gave away their best pitcher and backup catcher to save some money. They waved the white flag before the season started. It's not something an ownership does that wants to win.
