Gotta love the cronyism in baseball................

And this is yet another reason why Bud Selig SUCKS!!!!!! Come on! You got a guy who has the money, has the drive and desire to win and has a proven record of turning teams around. Yeah, he gets a little overzealous and passionate about his team. Lord forbid we have someone like that in baseball. Because that would just make too much sense...

Why would he want to buy the Cubs anyway, so he can be with a loser for another 100 years.......

Cuban traded Devin Harris, two first round picks, 3 million cash, et al for Jason Kidd. He should probably limit his team involvement to little more than writing checks and rooting for his team from the bleachers. He's the Jerry Jones of basketball and I don't blame Selig for not embracing Cubans "enthusiasm".

Wow. You're exceptionally retarded.

What!? Is his money too green? The Cubbies and the fans need some sort of emotional pickup. Why not let the "luckiest man in the world" buy the most unluckiest team in the World!? Stupid...

Bud Selig and the majority of MLB owners really BITE!
Wake up old white guys. This is the 21st century.

LIKE 1chillyMNfan says : "And this is yet another reason why Bud Selig SUCKS!!!!!!"


SELIG IS RUNING BASEBALL EVERY DAY ....CUBAN IS A SPORTS NUT IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR BASEBALL. HE COULD DO GEAT THINGS FOR BASEBALL. SELIG YOU SUCK !!!!

I just don't get it.

The Cubbies are so unlucky!

Bud Selig needs an enema!

Isn't this illegal? I don't know baseball bylaws but if the highest bidder is passed over seems to me there is an issue here - antitrust maybe? Fair competiton act? or something.... This is a case where I would love the gov't to step in.

So it is acceptable to be a cheapskate and not give your team any chance to win, but it isn't ok to actually care about what is going on in the field of play and be enthusiastic about it? The uncouth, loud Steinbrenner family is ok for baseball, but Cuban isn't?

Rather pathetic when you come right down to it.

lands up agreeing with Catwoman

Sounds like a good'ol'boy club.

You miss the point entirely. If you scold Cuban for making a trade to try to put his team over the top and win now - then please give him credit for turning Dallas into a team that has been very good for quite awhile. And while we're at it, perhaps you should go back and watch the Finals were the NBA gave the title to Miami and DWade, when it's clear Dallas was the better team, and if not for some highly questionable calls - they would have won the whole thing. Cuban is not like Jerry - he hasn't traded for guys who are soon to be in prison - or a cancer like TO. Cuban would only HELP the Cubs, he'd spend money to field a winner. Bud is a jerk - and should be removed from office. He screwed the Wisconsin area out of funding for the Brewers new park, and then sells the team for a windfall profit. Selig IS Satan and must go.

Big mistake.
I hope Selig and his cronies (MLB as a whole) take an absolute bath next year. Hopefully with the current economic situation, we'll see MLB's greed and stupidity result in half empty stadiums in 2009....that includes the new overpriced staidiums in NY.
