From 800 Million to Bankrupt
...in a weekend?!?!?
I know the Ricketts family is filing for bankruptcy protection because the Trib didn't sell their whole interest in the cubs and the new cub owners don't want to be responsible for any non-cub related debt but friggin Hell!!!!
They just spent 800 million dollars and now they have cover their fiduciary bags so soon? Ricketts must love the cubs. I'd have told the Trib, "You got no one else who can raise this kind of cash or get this line of credit. Sell the whole thing to me and fuck off, or just fuck off."
Maybe that's why I don't have 800 million of anything.
Crazy and wonderful HAWKS game tonight. Down 5-0, they pull the Frenchman and voila! (no knock on the French, they were very nice to me when I was there in '86). The boy was crushed that he had to go to bed when Chicago brought the tally to 5-4. I let him keep the radio in his room. Hopefully he doesn't cross-check Cookie while she tries to sleep peacefully beside him.

Thursday Oct 12, 1989 What's Weirder?
I don't know what's weirder...the fact that I ran into Jen-O's professor while I was blowing off ILAS or that the Chicago Cubs were eliminated last Monday by Rick Reuschel. It's got to be the latter.
It's not weird that the Cubs got beat. They've been getting beat my whole life and they used to look a lot worse in the process than they have in the last five years or so. But Rick Reuschel starting the game that prevents the Cubs from going to the World Series? The Reuschel boys are synonymous with Cub boobery and should not be a part of Cub defeat, at least not according to me. That's like Jody Davis fucking a rat from the bowels of Wrigley right on the pitcher's mound during the 7th inning stretch. Harry'd probably try to say "ratfucking" backwards.
Why am I complaining? The world's end was diverted by another Cub season ending without a trip to the World Series. I kind of like the world and need it more than the Cubs need the trophy. Like Cub fans, I'll just have to wait until next year to see if the world ends.
Oh, Jen-O's prof. I knew it was him because Jen showed me a picture of the two of them at some bookstore in Hyde Park. When she first showed me the photo I said, "I didn't know you knew Yoda." Then today I saw this guy outside Screwoff Hall who looked just like Yoda. I thought about introducing myself but if he started talking backwards or sideways or however Frank Oz did it, I'd probably lose it...
More.
It's probably best that I didn't say anything. Jen O's Prof was going on and on about the Cubs series. I instantly tuned him out and looked for our guy from the Pikes. Jen-O and a few other people would probably rather have me meet this person today than blah blah blah with some teacher about political science.
After all, it's Thursday night for crissakes!
