Quote:

This year’s installment just dropped, and among the tidbits that jumps out is the total valuation of the Chicago Cubs: $3.1 billion, or roughly twice the gross domestic product of The Seychelles, which I hear are lovely this time of year. Not a bad increase from the $2.9 billion valuation last year, nor from the under $900 million the team cost the Ricketts Family a decade ago. It’s also notably higher than the $2.15 billion the team was valued at earlier this year for the purposes of the final 5% Tribune sale.

God I can't wait til this cheap motherfucker dies and I hope he burns in hell. Keep pocketing that cash Tommy!

how does the value of the team have anything to do with operational cash?

i have a $30,000 car... but i dont have $10 cash on me to pay for lunch... how does having a $30,000 car help me pay for lunch?

the profits thing is more "damning" but id have to guess the profit article does not account for investment in and around the ballpark that the ricketts are doing.

Your car is not your revenue source though. It's like saying you don't have the money to pay $10 for lunch while you make an amount that easily could pay for $10 every day for the duration of your working life.

team value is all theo(praise be)retical money until a sale is made unless maybe they use it to refinance.

"Meet Tom. Tom is the owner of a local sports franchise that has recently tripled in value. He was looking to reduce the massive debt he took on when he bought the team, so he went to his bankers who all told him he should have never signed the right fielder and starting pitcher to expensive long-term deals. Tom then came to me and I told him that we could put him in a reverse mortgage that would generate some cash for his hotel and maybe free up enough money for a relief pitcher."

It is a shame that Cub nation including WSCR was so starving for some success they bought the Rickett's con hook, line and sinker. Yes the WS will always be there but all expected more than just that. A lot of that was the impression money was no object.

Buy or don't. I genuinely feel bad for you fans. Or maybe to put it better the fans that were naive.

You genuinely feel bad for another team's fans even though yours has won ONE World Series in the last 100 years.

You are very kind.

Expectation of Jerry and Kenny were quite a bit different than Rickett's and Theo. The hype was out of this world and you know it.

Let me get this straight, you are trolling Cub fans because the expectation for our team is extremely high and yours is pathetically low? :lol:
