If the attitude of Cubs ownership could be summed up in a sentence, it would be: After all we’ve done for you, this is the thanks we get.
You could feel it Friday in chairman Tom Ricketts’ comments to fans about the team’s controversial new TV network.
“Our promise for the next 10 years is to continue to have the best relationship with our fans of any professional sports team in the world,’’ he said at the Cubs Convention. “And that starts with the Marquee Network.’’
That’s when boos starting raining on the owner in earnest.
