Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts came down with a bad case of “Ted Cruz-itis” Saturday when he stood before the 31st annual Cubs Convention and labeled Mets fans as “really, really obnoxious.”
It seems that the eminent Mr. Ricketts and the missus didn’t appreciate some of the comments that flew around the stands as Terry Collins’ boys swept his 97-win wildcard team into the playoff dustbin of 2015. Or maybe it was because, while Chicago did fall one series shy of visiting a place it hadn’t been to since Nineteen Forty Freakin’ Five, it never really, really deserved to come that close at all.
