Cuban expects to bid on Cubs
Mark Cuban said he hasn't made a final decision on whether to bid for the ballclub, but once Tribune Co. provides full details about the assets for sale, presumably including Wrigley Field, he expects to be in. Cuban says that if he succeeds in buying the Cubs, he'll be a billionaire bleacher bum. The Internet billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner, known for noisily cheering on the Mavs and berating NBA officials from courtside, reiterated strong interest Monday in owning the Cubs and insisted he'd be rooting them on from a much more distant vantage point. "Everybody thinks I'm going to be on the sidelines, in the dugout, jumping up and down. That's not where I'll be," he said on the Mike North Morning Show on radio station WSCR.

That's the problem with your capitalistic market...Idiots such as this dancin' chode have equal opportunity to purchase what should be rightfully the property of the state..Cubs fans will notice major changes with the People's Republic of China outbids EVERYONE and buys this team and wins it all.

I don't think Cuban would be so bad for the Cubs. He might raise the roof on their payroll even higher than it is now. It could make them a powerhouse.

Cuban brought the Dallas Mavericks from NBA laughingstock to NBA powerhouse. A passionate owner could be all the Cubs need to become the elite team of the National League.

That's what the organization needs... a man who can ballroom dance. Maybe he can fox trot the club to a championship.

No way the old farts who own all of the other MLB teams will allow Cuban to come in a and rock the boat. He's perfect for Chicago but I doubt it'll happen

Curses are serious SHEEEEEET. Back in the day a young TRUTH stole a piglet from the farmer down the road. Farmer's wife suspected me from the get-go, so she boiled some fatbacks..dandelions, and stirred in some pepto....then one nite when I was sleepin' under the backporch she shot me in the ****....then cursed me.
Curses are real like Biscuit said, man

Three letters: IPO.
Take it public like the Packers. That way, when the Cubs continue to not win championships, at least their stock-holding fans will earn dividends on their suffering.
