But, should we be pissed at Zell or Ricketts? Ricketts is the one who was naive enough to go through with it, right? When evidently no one else was. In a way, its kind of like people being pissed at Sori for taking 136 mill when it was us that gave it to him. To me, if Zell pulled a fast one, its on Ricketts for allowing it to happen. Especially since Zell had no interesr in keeping the Cubs for any length of time under any circumstance. I can be pissed at both equally. Zell followed the same business model he has with other fields: Suck up every last ounce of value then sell the husk to some sucker willing to buy under absurdly unfavorable terms. Ricketts was his sucker. Zell is just dirty. The only reason for me to be mad at Ricketts is this should have been made known a while ago. It would have made things a little more clear. Instead of getting our hopes up at becoming a juggernaut at the onset. We are still on a good path, but a lot of this frustration over spending could have at least been stymied with a clear representation of the situation.
