    Cubs to sold in 2008

    Media giant Tribune is being sold to a private investor and he will sell the Chicago Cubs at the end of this baseball season.

    Tribune is in trouble financially, although they did spend money on players/managers. Price should be pretty high.

    True story. A guy named Sam Sosa who worked in the Tribune's mailroom/pressroom once got Sammy Sosa's paycheck by mistake. Was in the millions.

    Reminds me of the time my pop and I worked for different divisions within the same company and my expenses were tacked on to his check for a month or so. I called to tell the old man he owed me $82.50; he laughed and hung up the phone.

    Wish I had the half-billion or more it will take to buy the Cubs. Even though I've never liked them, they're still a gold mine on a diamond field.
