Thank God we didn't get stuck with this turd as the new owner. What a piece of work.

CHICAGO — For those who say 101 years is plenty of time to get over an inferiority complex, meet the fans of the 2009 Chicago Cubs.
The saps can't catch a break. Just last week, a local billionaire who spent most of last year trying to buy the ballclub got up at breakfast with the Executives' Club of Chicago and confirmed what every Cub fan suspected deep down: That for one reason or another, owners and even would-be owners weren't giving it their all.
<b>"I'm actually a White Sox fan," said John Canning Jr., who runs a private-equity firm and is a pal of MLB commissioner Bud Selig.
"God, what a relief," he added a heartbeat later, "not to buy the Cubs."</b>
Ouch.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
