Anyone for a Cuban? Mark Cuban that is.
It seems that Mark Cuban has submitted his application to MLB to purchase the Chicago Cubs. So you maybe asking yourself the same question as this Cub fan, Is this a good thing? Well that depends on your point of view. Cuban has helped turn around the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, but has had numerous run-ins with the authorities (i.e. David Stern). He is heavily involved and has some conflict with his coahces (i.e. Don Nelson). So what would he be like as owner of the Cubs? One would believe he would spend money to put a winner on the field and to provide nice amenities for his players, but how involved would he want to be and does he have the knowledge to be involved? Would he become the George Steinbrenner of the NL? Is that a bad thing? Would he put advertising all over Wrigley, would he move the Cubs from Wrigley? Would the owners ever let him in? Jerry Krause owner of the rival White Sox and Chicago Bulls has a major dislike for him, and Bud "Lite" Selig may not want to deal with him, so is this all just a matter of pointless rhetoric? I say give him a chance to explain what his plans for the Cubs are. Hear him out, because no one can be as bad for the Cubs as the Tribune Company has been. I say we band together and vote for Cuban to get a chance and see what he can do to turn the Cubs around!

Cuban would be good for the Cubs and for MLB. Period.
I believe so as well. He cannot be any worse of an owner than the Tribune Company.
