And what do those 3 teams have that the Cubs don't?

Mascots? Seriously? I was really hopeful that this kind of shit was going to be going away with the "new regime". I'm nearing 40 years of this shitshow. Take the mascot and Go Cubs Go, drop it in the middle of the Sheraton during the convention and blow it up.

When they get a ring, they can feel free to do all the dopey shit they want. Until then, STFU with your marketing bullshit and get the Wrigleyville Xanadu underway.

So glad I don't root for this joke of a franchise. Then again, guess my NFL team is just as big of a joke

The best mascots are organic and come from nutjobs in the fan base like Woo-Woo or Andy the Clown. How is it that drunken bums can create better mascots than a team of branding experts from Kellogg Business School?

They look so much smarter now for making a big deal of running off that half-a-fruit that was acting as the de facto mascot a few months back.

I think Tony was a Leo Burnett creation.

It would make for an all-time great youtube sensation if this guy sucker punched the new mascot in front of Wrigley.

That bio is insultingly bad.

Why can't cartoon characters wear fucking pants. It's like every cartoon is Don Tiny.

For the record, this is a horrible idea.

Seriously,I disagree. It's just something for the kids. I don't see any issues.

I guess if you get through the initial ridicule, it's fine.

Ronnie Woo-Woo will always be my Cub ambassador. Until Clark whips off his non-existent underwear at El Jardin, he'll always be 2nd best.

Overblown outrage. It's there to wave at kids and get hired for North Shore elementary kids birthday parties.

New regime. Ricketts is Mr. cubbie. He loves this shit. You must be getting the winter blues. Tonight, Pop a squat on the recliner, crack an old style, toss on your Go Cubs Go vinyl and settle in with January's Vine Line. All will be well.

As a Cubs fan... this is dumb.

This really signals a hope to return to the warm and fuzzy days of Cubdom prior to 2003. Clark is basically Harry without the Budweiser.

Nothing will beat the Dallas Green promotion about the "Cubs are coming out of Hiiiiiiiiiiibernation" of the early '80s with the lovable Cub clawing the shit out of my 27" console TV.

Isn't the San Diego Chicken not, in fact, the Padres' official mascot, but just a man in a chicken suit who appear in the vicinity of Padres games?
