Job Opening with the Cubs

This is not a joke. The Cubs are looking for a CFO. If you ever wanted to help prepare the Budget for the Cubs...here is your chance!

Our Long National Nightmare is finally over (Ricketts now official!)

kaseyi — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:09:35 -0000

No link, but on WGN radio...on the 9:00 news it was announced that the sale of the Cubs to the Ricketts family has finally been finalized and the family now has officially taken control of the team. There will be a press conference by TOm Ricketts on Friday at Wrigley Field to officially introduce themselves. More details will follow, but I just wanted to post that the Cubs finally officially have new owners.

Edit: Found a link ricketts family closes on cubs deal

Saw this in the Tribune today (8/28). While I feel it needed to be shared, I am at a loss of words as to what I can say about this.

Anyone at The July 23 Season ticket holder meeting?

kaseyi — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:42:55 -0000

I took the Wrigley Field tour today (7-23) and at one point while we were going up to the pressboxes, Crane Kenny passed us up and said hello to everyone on the tour. Once we got into the press box, I noticed that there was a group of people sitting on the 1st base side of the box seats, and there were chairs set up in front of them. I recognized right away what was going on, it was another Season Ticket holders meeting. (I went to one of these last year, so I knew right away what was going on). Later on in the tour, when we were able to go on the field in the dirt by the dugouts, I walked over to the visitor side to see if I could hear what they were talking about, but I wasn't able to hear anything. I also did not see anyone that I knew from my section there either. I was just wondering...did anyone here get an invite to this season ticket holder meeting and if you did, what was discussed?

Cubs to file Bankruptcy

Cubs to file Bankruptcy

The Cubs were not part of the original bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Tribune, but according to the story, this is a legal maneuver to get the sale done quickly.

Cubs By The Numbers

Cubs By The Numbers

I know Al gets most of the kudo's here on the book, "Cubs By The Numbers" (after all...it's his blog), but I was also involved. I thought I would just pass along a nice story from my local paper on me and the book! And remember (obligitory plug coming here) you can easily buy it at Amazon.com. It makes a great Mothers Day or Fathers Day present!

Kasey's Winter Classic Pictures

Here is a quick addition to my website of pictures I took at the 2009 NHL Winter Classic Hockey game held at Wrigley Field on Jan. 1st 2009. (yes, I know the background on the individual pics is a baseball and there are no captions to explain the pictures yet, but these pages are still a work in progress )

Snowy Tuesday Afternoon Name That Cub

kaseyi — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:26:33 -0000

Ok Everyone...You had fun with Fonzie2178's "unknown" Cub. Now we have a real hard one. Here are the clues. This picture was taken at Wrigley Field. The player is a Pitcher and yes, he was on the major league roster when this picture was taken. His major league career was extremely short. He was acquired by the Cubs in a very famous trade. NAME THIS CUB! (sorry Al...I know I emailed this picture to you to use, but I just couldn't keep this to myself any longer)

My Winter Classic tickets arrived today. I just thought I would post a scan of my ticket so all of you can see what they look like (of course I have erased all the seat information and barcodes)

Oakland owner: Make 1st round of playoffs 1 game

For all of you who think a 3 out of 5 is too short (and I am one of them), I am sure this idea will make your head explode.

Lew Wolff has a way to shorten baseball’s postseason: Make the first round best-of-one. "I’d make it one-game-and-you’re-out for the first series," the Oakland Athletics owner said Wednesday. "It would be exciting. It would be great."

"I’ve always thought a one-game wild card (playoff) would be a pretty good idea," said Bob DuPuy, MLB’s chief operating officer. "Lew is an imaginative fellow and has a lot of good ideas."

The playoffs are a crapshoot as it is, to make the 1st round only 1 game is unthinkable in my mind.
