Whoa, how did I miss this?


Tribune has been trying to sell the Chicago Cubs baseball team...

[From Deeply in Debt, Tribune Co. Could Be Flirting With Bankruptcy - NYTimes.com]

The Cubs? For sale? Hey, maybe we should pass the had and buy 'em. OK, it would have to be a pretty small hat - but would that be the ultimate collector's item or what? (Can you be a collector if you only own one thing?) I mean, it'd be on a par with owning the world's last surviving Edsel or something.


Of course, maybe the guys down at Billy Goat's should pony up for the team. They've more or less owned it for the last 100 years anyway.


Oh. You haven't heard about the curse?
