Shut up until your investment owns a World Series title. Something about them makes me a little nervous. Can't put my finger on it, but I give it until June when Mike D. will begin wishing Andy MacPhail or Don Grenesko or John Madigan still ran the club.

Fuck it. Joe Ricketts will lead Mitt Romney to the White House and then crankily take over the Cubs from his children and within 60 days have them into a 1927 Yankees-esque juggernaut before running for Mayor of Chicago in 2 1/2 years and crushing Rahm in a landslide.

Goddamn it. I like J. Joseph Ricketts the best, and I think he'd lead the franchise to great things. Alas, Tom, Todd, Laura and Pete have only 50% of his DNA.

Not a fan of this WAY OF LIFE crap, either.  It's plastered all over the website, the print ad zoomed in on some guy stuffing his face is positively White Soxian, and the announcement over the PA that WGN picked up ("It's not just a ticket to a game, it's a ticket to a WAY OF LIFE") is idiotic.  And they have the balls to put ads on the precious bricks, so we know they'll stop at nothing!

Just win the fucking pennant, and leave us the hell alone. I'm sure Tom Ricketts and family are great people, but ....

That would be my "marketing campaign."  Chicago Cubs: Fucking Win, Damn It.

DPD. Seriously?



If they're trying to get people to watch games on TV, it's brilliant.

On second thought, maybe it's a cross-campaign with the health department.

Sadly, yes.  I saw it elsewhere first and thought for sure it was a Photoshop parody.  Had a good laugh, went to the Cubs website, and ... oh.

He's already the media-approved Voice of the Cubs Fan, so I'm sure being the mouth is part of the deal.  See what happens when you interview Crane Kenney?

Are you sure that's not an ad for rohypnol?

I saw this, and thought the same thing. I'm assuming they're running this ad and will soon announce that those under 2 must have a ticket.
