Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts sent an email to Cubs fans Friday and I reproduce it here in its entirety, so you can read it if you weren’t on the recipient list. I’ll follow with some comments.
Dear Cubs Fans,
In our 12 years together, never have we experienced so many ups and downs in one season. After 18 long months, we enjoyed our much-anticipated Wrigley Field reunion and celebrated some early season success on the field. Following time at the top of our division, we also endured a double-digit losing streak and the difficult departure of players we all love.
