I assume you believe the answer to be yes.

Peavy being a Cub 7 days after the day this is finalized, Over/Under?

So what you're saying is that you're filthy rich and you'll be hosting the SOITOW 2009 party at your house followed by a limo ride to the game, where we'll be renting out the Batter's Eye and we'll be treated to all you can eat and drink, then all of us will be invited back to your castle after the game to stay the night and sleep with any number of your numerous wives? Anyone else get the same feeling?

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Late today, the Ricketts family released the following statement:

The Tribune Company has informed us today that our family has been selected for exclusive negotiations to buy the Chicago Cubs.

We would like to thank the Tribune Company for overseeing a fair and competitive process and we look forward to working with the Tribune and Major League Baseball to close the transaction promptly.

We will have more to say publicly when this process is completed. If we succeed in buying the team, our work will just be beginning.

"My family and I are Cubs fans," said Tom Ricketts, the family's point person in the Cubs purchase. "We share the goal of Cubs fans everywhere to win a World Series and build the consistent championship tradition that the fans deserve."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
