Mark Cuban Again Lurking at Wrigley Field - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

OK, so the Mavericks are out of the NBA Playoffs, which to Mark Cuban has to feel like the equivalent of ending a long, arduous work day. You know what's great after a long, arduous work day? The Cubs, and a cold beer:

On other visits to Wrigley Field, he sat in the bleachers. But on Wednesday night, Mark Cuban sat in Tribune Co.'s front-row seats next to the Cubs' dugout. He declined to talk with media before the game, except to say he wanted to enjoy the Cubs and a beer. [...]

"Major League Baseball doesn't need me," he said. "I'm just a fan."

See? Beer 'n a ballgame -- it'll cure what ails you. Of course, unlike most fans, Cuban can not only afford to sit in the Tribune Company's first-row seats, he can afford to put in a realistic bid to purchase the Cubs from that capitalist dog Sam Zell. Whether he will choose to do so is still up in the air. Whether anyone should care every time Mark Cuban shows up at a Cubs game is yet another (considerably more valid) story altogether.
