It goes on and on and on like this. Now we know The Hawk's true identity: he's Joe Ricketts.


Exactly

I have a feeling that number may be slightly embellished. With fixtures and hardware and appliances, it'd be fairly easy to achieve that mark.

We put a $50k+ range in a kitchen once. That was their mid priced option. A couple of $20k farm sinks and you're well on your way.



It's crazy what " normal" people are spending on appliances. I mean a couple that are raking in 200k jointly. 12k Sub zero fridges and 48" wolf ranges that cost 8k

Shoulder shrug from Bernstein. I'm sure if this was any other owner, he would be foaming at the mouth.

McKnight says Joe is not on the Cubs board of directors. Kids will try and distance themselves from him.


There is so much dancing around the fact that yes, Joe has a very big footprint in the organization.

"He's not on the board" "He's not involved in the day to day operations"

He's the guy who fronted the money and who serves holiday meals to the board members.

It doesn't help their cause in any way to promote this farce that Joe Ricketts doesn't have influence. Assume everyone is smart enough to understand that he does but that the children may reject some of his stances. Now how do you explain board member Todd being prominent echo on the e-mails?


Papa Joe is the owner of the business, or owns the entity that runs the business. He's got all the control, to assume otherwise is, like you say above, a farce. WFR addressed it earlier - Joe made the money, he bought the Cubs. Unless the organizational documents are the worst drafted documents ever as it relates to the powers of the ultimate owners of the entity, Dad Ricketts has all the power to remove anyone who is a Director at any time, for essentially any reason.

Saying that Joe Ricketts isn't involved in the ownership of the Cubs because he isn't on the board of directors is like saying I'm not involved in the operation of my house because I pay a guy to mow my lawn once a week.

I mean I'm sure it sucks for the Ricketts kids that their dad is publicly exposed as a run of the mill old white guy - type bigot, but that's who Dad Ricketts is.

We put in a La Cornue Chateau 150 in French Blue. It's pretty ridiculous. They barely use it.

What's it going to take for MLB to step in? I don't think this batch of emails is enough, but what would be enough for them to go after the Ricketts?

There is already precedent of a league taking away a team from an owner because of comments he made in his personal life. Saying he paid a lot of money to black players was not enough to save Donald Sterling.

The point is that you are an inconsistent idiot who only uses racism as a charge when it benefits you.

I acknowledged both as racists. Stick to people you can whoop, like JLN or LTG.

Yeah, it's really tough to go toe to toe with a guy who thinks two Wongs make it white is the height of comedy, while also going after racists.

It was ridiculous what they made Sterling do as well but as we all know by now, rich white guys will be fine .

Agreed.

I am more concerned about how his emails where leaked. Be a different story if this was public information we was posting on Twitter.

Would all you hypocrites be so accusatory if this was your private emails being exposed for everyone to read and judge you?

Bernsie just let us know in Tranny that we all know that a "certain type of person" owns sports teams. At least Parkins quipped back that rich is more than 250K income.
