I guess that's why guys like Cuban are so wealthy. They have such vision and awareness, like 6th sense or something? Wow, I need to call my broker, the economy is bad, huh?????????

Are you sure it is the economy or the fact no matter how much payroll you add or things you do this team is just doomed to always fall a day late and dollar short?

That's one of the foundational principles of Economics kids. Hell, even Adam Smith wrote about the exclusionary factors of the Cubs **** up somehow...

Is it really the economy or the fact the Cubs got swept out of the playoffs...again.

Time to liquidate some holdings there, Cuban. Might I suggest you sell the Mavs to somebody else?

Could be

cubs have a real solid fan base regardless of where they finish, it is the economy.

I feel like an idiot....as I scanned the headline I read it as "Cuban economy" and I wondered why would events in Cuba have any bearing on the sport?

right, cubs are a cash cow regardless...though if they win the world series, or even come close, that franchise will be making money hand over friggin fist.

everyone ripping on cuban's comments, but i don't get it....... he said a lot more than the economy is bad. he explained how that affects major business deals. what he said made a lot of sense and i learned something about economics from his comments.

Fanbase is for sure solid, besides those idiots selling there Cubs "loyalty" online, which doesnt say much for there loyalty if you ask me, but to each there own. Better off without those lame arse so called fans.

Dumb comment. Cuban wants to but the team more than ever...he is salivating over the prospect of winning a WS with the Cubs. I'm sure he was relieved the Cubs didn't make it this year.

...meant "buy" the team

You shouldnt put the Cubs and World Series in the same sentence. Its like putting Honest and politician in the same sentence, it just doesnt make sense!

After the way the Cubs choked this year, they would be fortunate if Red Klotz, the founder and owner of the Washington Generals, would want to buy them. At least the Generals beat the Globetrotters once.

After the way KenoshaMark choked this year, he would be fortunate if Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Chicago Whitesox, wouldn't want to beat him. At least KenoshaMark's daddy beat him once.
