Tom Ricketts and family will be introduced to Cubs fans everywhere in a press conference on Friday morning at 11am CST and probably a couple dozen TV and radio interviews. To help you get through the day, I suggest grabbing your favorite alcoholic beverage(bring a thermos if you're at work) and follow along with this drinking game I designed:
Drink when:
- he thanks Major League Baseball, Bud Selig or the Tribune
- it's mentioned how great Cubs fans are
- how Cubs fans deserve a championship team
- mentioned that he's a Cubs fan
- met his wife at Wrigley Field
- had an apartment in Wrigleyville
- how the goal is to build a championship caliber team year in and year out
- Ameritrade is mentioned
- asked about payroll
- he says he has great respect for Jim Hendry
- he says he has great respect for Lou Piniella
- there's a question about Milton Bradley
- he says he'll defer to the baseball people
- everytime you're frustrated by a generic non-answer he gives to a specific question
- there's question about Wrigley Field renovations
- there's any mention of goats, curses or Steve Bartman
Take Two Drinks when:
- some reporter asks about his lesbian sister
- they ask about the size of the media room at Wrigley
- he avoids the Personal Seat License question
Finish your drink if:
- he makes any allusions to following sabermetrics or any type of statistical analysis
- he fires Jim Hendry or Lou Piniella
- he says he ordered the Bradley suspension (Finish another drink if he refers to it as a Code Red)
- he sets up his sister with Carrie Muskat
Finish your drink and the bottle or case it came from if:
- he lowers ticket or concession prices
