After years of iron-fisted stinginess, most of us were just a little surprised when the Tribune Co. gave Jimmy the greenlight to break the bank. Well today, several months (and $300 Million) later, the truth behind all this finally comes to light.
They were never planning on paying for any of it.
Thats right, on this glorious day (Monday: April 2, 2007), the Tribune Company announced their intention to sell the Cubs after being bought out in what the newspaper giant called "an epic corporate struggle." Whatever that is...
Here at RTWF.com, the theory is that the Trib is betting on this team's stock (which is estimated to be upwards of $600 million) rising over the next few months. And considering all the new acquisitions, a good showing by the team this season would undoubtedly add a few more dollars to the team's value.
So here's wishing that the Cubs stock does rise, even if the Tribune banks off our impending success. This is perhaps the best Opening Day present any Cubs Fan could ask for (besides a nice pounding of the Reds later this afternoon).
