<title>Caveat Emptor: Illinois Taxpayers</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h2>State, ISFA, Governor, Sam Zell trying one last time to steal from taxpayers.</h2>

<p>There's been a lot of news on the Cubs sale front of late. The rumblings from many sources is that the 'books' will be sent out to the six prospective ownership groups in a week or two.</p>

<p>In what appears to be a last minute attempt to revive the ISFA deal, Jim Thompson (whom I'm losing respect for daily) is now promising that there will be <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h_ZvrjVrEqXerWBIa_U7iU3PG3-gD90H6G200" target="_blank" title="Associated Press: Thompson: Agency hopes to keep Wrigle]]></description>

<title>TribCo Revenue Grab: Ryne Sandberg to manage at Wrigley</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><i>Deep in the Bowels of the Tribune Company, Sam Zell and a handful of Tribune Company executives are seated around a conference room table.</i></p>

<p><b>Sam Zell:</b> We took out too much debt to buy this blasted company. Everybody needs to come up with a way to make more money, pronto! Crane, Crane Kenney, how can the Cubs make more money?</p>

<p><b>Crane Kenney:</b> Well, we could sell naming rights to Wrigley Field.</p>

<p><b>Zell:</b> Out of the Box you numbskull!</p>

<p><b>Kenney:</b> Er... we could sell the stadium to the state. Just make a little contribution to the G-Rod camp]]></description>

<title>All Star Voting - My Favorite Player Edition</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Way back in the day, I used to publish my all-star votes periodically as a way to discuss the rest of the league. Now that <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2008/index.jsp?partnerId=fMLB_INS_050108_feature1" target="_blank">all-star voting</a> is available again this year, I think I'll do so again.</p>

<title>Wrigley Field - Aisle 239</title>
