New Cubs Owner

It looks like the Ricketts family will be buying the Chicago Cubs, barring any setbacks in the negotiations from here on...

The Ricketts own "Ameritrade," the discount broker. I don't want to be Mr. Negative-Pants here, but do you really want a company whose wealth is based on the stock market to own your team in the worst economic climate since the stock market crash of 1929?

That is so Cubs.
