 whats wrong with this fucking picture? other than it makes me want to puke.
the chicago cubs are owned by the tribune corp. tribune corp also owns over a dozen newspapers (including the chicago tribune, newsday, and la times) and two dozen tv stations.
the cubs were one pudge rodriguez away from winning the world series last year and this winter 32 yr old pudge was up for grabs to the highest bidder and guess what tribune corp said
nah, too expensive.
pudge was the world series mvp maybe the playoff mvp and definitely the biggest reason that the fish won the series last year and all he wanted was $10 million a year for 4 years and the trib only offered a 3 year contract.
tightwad asswad trib corp's earnings jumped 75% last quarter. their revenues rose 3% to $1.47 billion. of all their assets the Cubs are the most beloved and worthy of a slight injection of funds.
yet they pass on giving the latin backstop the market rate.
fuck tribune corp.
i hope they get papercuts counting all the damn money they saved.
dont they think an allstar catcher like pudge could work wonders for young pitchers like carlos zambrano, mark prior, and kerry wood, the heart of the cubs success last year?
no they dont think that cuz they dont give a shit about the cubs. they only care that the cubs deliver profit year after year. if theyre winning or not.
tribune corp looks at that picture to the right inbetween spritzes with a huge cigar in their fat mouths, towel boys bringing them french water and they think, yeah, we just saved $40 million.
but they didnt save any $40 million.
theres 3-4 catchers in the pros who mean anything and two of them are over 30. hell, all of them might be over 30, and one of em just won the damn world series and today he's wearing a hat for a bunch of losers.
but the biggest losers are the cub fans.
cuz life isnt fair.
and the rich only get richer.
and when they die
they will burn the brightest
and i cannot wait for that day.
cuz they wont go to heaven hoarding their wealth and not spreading the love to the cubs.
and if they do get to heaven
and if im there too
theres gonna be an eternal ass kicking delivered by yours truly
every night
right after hendrix plays.
insults unpunished + tracy should write for lick + and definitely splinky
