1. CubsCon Is in two weeks Tom Ricketts is gonna get hassled by the fanbase.

   It’s time he gets what he deserves

2. Eugenio Suarez is still out there too I think

3. They have the money 💰 stopped being cheap

4. Yes I am upset

5. I'm sick of the cubs management
   They charge $19 per a beer and $14 for hotdog. Don't get me going on the seats in the parking. They need to open up that checkbook and get some damn players.

6. Why do fans complain? The organization is going to do what they want regardless of what we say. It's a waste or time and effort. Don't like it don't follow the team

7. I know their plan is . Wait after the collective bargain agreement. Thats what Ricketts is saying

8. Stopped being cheap

9. The Cubs need to sign Bo Bichette

10. ricketts is the new McCasky

11. Kap plain and simple cubs won't do much this upcoming season it's quite obvious that Ricketts is not doing what he's supposed to do is making this organization better but in the end its Ricketts being cheap. Take that

12. The problem they had was the posting fee on Imai, they didn’t want to pay that fee for a guy who could opt out after only one year,even though it doesn’t count against the CBT. They are beyond cheap

13. No Wrigley for me this year Ricketts can hang on to his money and I’ll hang on to mine

14. Tired off this organization defiling my summer

15. Hoyer is the perfect man for Ricketts – risk adverse and indecisive.

16. I know what there doing. It's nothing ! Afraid of commitment.

17. Offseason isn't over. No reason to give opinions on spending until the offseason is over.

18. Chicago sports team owner are sin flints.

19. Kap, it's time to confront Tom Rickett's on all the things he has said over the years that have shown to be lies. We can start with the Jumbotron and RF video board bringing all the revenue needed to compete. Then ask him about the sustained success comment, because the Cubs just won their first playoff game in 7 years in 2025. Wrap it up with his "waves and waves of prospects" comment and remind him that the Cubs currently have the 20th ranked farm system.

20. If i was DA and Ben, i wouldn't play any of the players that are coming back from injuries, those guys are who they are… move on from them. play the guys that have been winning games for you since week 3-10. Damn it!!! Connect the dots. your last 4 losts was due to playing players that are coming back from injury

21. What did the Brewers do

22. Tom might not even show up in person to Cub con

23. What about what Hayworth did for the community?

24. Ugh, this ReKap went by way to fast!!

25. Ricketts is a businessman who is maximizing profit and avoiding high risk. That means raking in the Wrigleyville cash and refusing to get into big contracts prior to the CBA. Simple math.

26. Kap, the cubs just want to win 82 games. That’s it. They are also setting this up for another rebuild starting next year. Fuck this organization! It’s time for everyone to leave this fanbase.

27. It's funny that journalist are pretending to run baseball teams.

28. Unbelievable lack of action for a 92 win team. There’s zero plan…..Jeds insistence on being so “ calculated “ in his approach is killing them. Find a damn player you like and take a fucking risk?
    The fact that our farm system is ranked mid at best along with Jed’s continual indecision makes me think it’s time for a new GM.
    MAKE A DAMN PLAN!!

29. The Cubs not spending $$ in the off season & wasting years where we can win has been the trend the past
    few seasons. Everyone knows we need pitching, a solid offensive 3rd baseman & a few quality relievers.
    Yet, Jed & Tommy do nothing but sign guys coming off of surgery, hoping they can pull a rabbit out of their
    backside. And the reason we don't sign top free agents is because they know 30-40k will show up at Wrigley
    if we're in 1st or last place.

30. I like a feisty episode of this podcast better Kap & GDub. Operate like a small market team in a big market, that’s why they are one of teams that want a cap.

31. I am surprised that anyone is really surprised

32. You guys go through this year after year and complain and complain but guess what, you will still watch and attend Wrigley just like the fans that dont care. The owners have the fans by the nuts.
