The question for Cub fans this morning is who the Tribune Co. will drop first, Dusty Baker or the Cubs as a whole. The New York Times reports today that selling the Cubs is now on the table as one of “management™s exploration of alternatives for creating additional value for shareholders.” Personally, I think Dennis Fitzsimons’ mismanagement of the Tribco as a whole — re: cheating the United States government, lying about circulation rates, not getting the Cubs a decent closer, and goddammit, not accepting any of my Dick Tracy about Tracy going to Afganistan and finding Flattop and B.O. Plenty working with al-Qaeda, plus a deftly woven in romantic subplot involving the return of Moon Girl — pretty much makes the case for Fitz (above) as the one to go first. And I emphasize the word, “first.”
