1. Ricketts own the Cubs!

First, when you go to Joe Ricketts' website, there is not way to contact him, although there is a contact button. It doesn't work! Well, I hope the "goat curse" spreads beyond the Cubs and engulfs the entire Ricketts business conglomerate. I also just donated to the Obama Campaign and will continue to do so monthly.

BOYCOTT THE CUBS!!!!
