State may buy Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs are for sale. Currently owned by the Tribune Company, officials from the firm have been in touch with Governor Rod Blagojevich (Hey, they found him), a huge Cubs fan, and "Blago" is considering an offer, according the Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times, to buy the team's home park, Wrigely Field.

The state of Illiois is broke, however. And despite a couple of special sessions of the state legislature this fall, it has been unable to find a way fund the Chicago area mass transit system.
