Tribune seeking alternatives as talks to sell Cubs drag

Tribune Co. , unhappy with the slow pace of negotiations to sell the Chicago Cubs to the Ricketts family, has reopened talks with another interested party who lost out to the Ricketts in the auction for the baseball team, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

[Hmm]

So, this article basically says "The Tribune today reports that the Tribune can't confirm that the Tribune reopened the sale of the Cubs".

Zell's nickname is: "the grave dancer". Are the Cubs becoming his next grave to dance on?

Has anyone contacted Barry Sotero and his merry gang of economic pranksters? Nationalize the cubs while they are still in the National League! oh wait he's a sox fan, even better so they can run them into the ground and make room for nationalized health care for his folks> yipee yeah , the devine leader is on the way! GO Cubs GO hey UssA government, just nationalize the cubs today.

I'm looking forward to the stalling of talks with the "other interested party". A clinker deal is a clinker deal.
