Yep. Ricketts is the problem. Cubs games are not only expensive for us to attend but they’re expensive for us to subscribe to on Marquee and watch. He takes every extra dollar and shoves it in his pocket
Jed has to build for depth rather than individual performance. The Cubs franchise doesn’t bring in enough revenue for Ricketts to justify spending at or above the luxury tax.
I don’t understand the distaste for Jed. The Cubs are a small market team owned by a man who is poor. What else do you expect from a luxury tax payroll?
For whoever’s dumb like me and scoreboard watching, Mets start a 3 game series against Boston tonight and Atlanta starts 3 games against Colorado tomorrow. ATL’s next three series are against Rockies/Toronto/Nats, so that’s unfortunate.
Doesn’t look like we’re gonna gain ground in the wild card tonight. Braves already won and the Mets are unfortunately playing the white Sox this weekend.
I was there! That was one of the greatest moments of my entire life.
Sosa and Wood are personally my favorite Cubs because they're the reasons I started watching sports in the first place, but A-Ram is a very close third.
