This morning, the Red Eye (arguable the most popular publication in Chicago) featured Mark Cuban on the cover, Dancing with the Cubs, with the other bidders aligned at the bottom.
Let’s take a symbolic look at this.
There are a number of hints that the Red Eye is in favor of Mark Cuban.
-
The cover: Mark Cuban gets 90 percent of the cover, while the other bidders are aligned on the bottom.
- B/R Ticket Guide
- Lopsided commentary: Mark Cuban was the only one interviewed in the article.
- Article page: Once again, Cuban gets the most real estate (75 percent) and the use of vibrant graphics brings the eye to his data.
Interesting, no? The media has great influence today, and articles like this can only support the Cuban cause; Mark Cuban, the next owner of the Chicago Cubs.
Special Note: While in Wrigley on Tuesday with the Cubanandthecubs.com girls, Cubs fans were dazzled by this grassroots team and commenced to horde our Cuban throng. If buzz is the defining variable for whom should be the owner of the Cubs, Mark Cuban is far ahead of the competition.

I'd love to see him get it, but I still think he faces an uphill battle with Selig & Reinsdorf. However, as great as he seems, how many championships has he won with the Mavs?

None, but how many years as he been owner? How many times did they reach the playoffs before he was owner? How many times did they sell out before he way owner?
Just imagine what he could do for the Cubs? He is someone that wants to win and will invest money into winning.
