These past few days we have had some interesting conversations with some of our fellow Chicago Cubs fans. Oddly enough everything revolved around their buying Clayton Richard to fill in as their fifth starter until they could actually (possibly) find a better pitcher on the trade market.

That is where the real fun began as we got a comment on our blog which I had no real idea how to respond to. Check this one out, because this is special.

What Epstein and Hoyer are really doing is trying to cover up the Ricketts for doing NOTHING in terms of reinvesting the Millions being raked in from Cubs Fans all over these United States… The Ricketts Family and Stuffed Shirts like Epstein and Hoyer say they have been rebuilding our Farm System and MLB Team when in fact they have done NOTHING MUCH Financially, Forbes has reported that Ricketts took home a New Record MLB Profit in 2013 and then DOUBLED that amount by taking home 73.3 Million last year… (Even after Lester) The only real improvements have been thru being awarded the Top Draft Picks from years of LAST PLACE FINISHES of the Cubs… Forbes also has named the Cubs as one of the Highest Profit Makers in Baseball… Topping the Cubs, the Dodgers profits are even higher, but last year they reported a 12 Million Dollar LOSS…. That reflects true commitment!!! Something PARISITES like Ricketts, Epstein and Hoyer cannot hide in what looks like another RECORD YEAR to feather their pockets as we Fans AGAIN EXPRESS OUR DISAPPOINTMENT and watch our Boys in Blue decline the ranks of the Central Division Standings… We need to trade for better Ownership and Front Office Management considering the HUGE SUCKING sound coming from the removal of Cubs Revenues… Maybe it looks great to Forbes and Wall Street Types to see Ricketts quietly morphing Wrigley into Rickettsville… But, us Cubs Fans are not fooled, impressed nor happy with Ricketts Greedy Bargain Basement Offerings and can see his underhanded tactics CLEARLY!!! 😉Truth…

Apparently he has not been paying attention to anything other than the 25 and 40 man rosters. Tom Ricketts has spent Millions, putting a lot of money into this system to do all be could (despite the limitations placed on him from the sale of the team) in order to turn this team into one that can compete for a championship year in and year out.

Unfortunately, he is not alone in his thoughts. This was a tweet that came after one of our writers shared the comment on twitter.

Ricketts, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer have been as transparent as they could be in telling us EXACTLY what they would be doing, giving us a step by step plan. So far, they have done EVERYTHING they said they would do. No lying. No bullshitting. Just the truth.

I love my fellow Cub fans. But honestly, some of them make me want to bang my head against a wall. To these fans, and those who think like them, all I can say is this.
