Cubs fans can be charged with the Cubs and Wrigley

Not only are the Cubs load in the Central Division of the National League this season, but so are their fans. The city is selling pieces of Wrigley Campo, one piece at a time! There is something for almost every price tickets range from $ 5 last games at a stadium seating unusual color was wrong accidentally Price to $ 1,500, and everything in between. There is even a fairly comprehensive guide to what it was and, in some cases, remains for sale.

But there is a fairly grotesque twist east. Credit cards are accepted! In these days when not only our country almost one trillion (that's a lot of zeros, people! And half that is communist China) dollars in credit card debt with an American home base, given an average of $ 3,400 (and even McDonald's take into account the cards now), here is an opportunity for us to pump up that average even more. It is not clear to own a piece of one of the most ones, if not the most beloved baseball-parks in the U.S., but this is only inviting trouble! In some states, people can buy lottery tickets with their credit cards … just does not seem right. Despite the benefits go to a good cause, I can see an avid Cubs fan to get carried away with this!

Can you imagine what the spouse fan thinks when they are in the details of their credit card bill? I foresee a lot of Cubs fans collect mail and hide the bill in your billing cycle! How do you explain a $ 1,000 bill for the old Wrigley memories? Talk about of an impulse buy!

I can listen now:

"Honey, what steps are those old chairs made in our dining room and living room? Where did all our furniture go? "

Hey, maybe these buyers can use the money earned by their furniture to pay for the seats of steps! They can even do a little story about how a certain your furniture has a historical significance, like …

"This is the leather Texas EZ-Boy recliner in which George W. Bush almost choked to death when he got lost and atheist pretzel! "(Oh, what a chair and a famous pretzel those would be! A couple conspiracy that would! They will surely be implemented under the USA Patriot Act by combustion, the ashes put on display at the Smithsonian! But not before the parade ticker praised them as "objects that saves the planet" and the award of the Medal of Honor ceremonial …!). Well, you get the point.

What if you do not pay their credit card bill? Could the Wrigley "Repo Patrol" coming to take possession of the articles? What if you lose your house or car, or even had their wages garnished because they went overboard with the purchase of a pile of old bricks? Ah, and here is the clear part on the purchase of a brick famous stadium … each brick is a map showing where to place the brick!

Hey! This could start a whole new trend? Cities forced to build new stadiums or risk losing your computer may sell parts of the stadium earlier sentenced to help offset the cost a new one! Even if you have only $ 1,000 (and what piece of the stadium not get at least that?), Which is $ 1,000 citizens would not pay!

Here in Indianapolis , we are forced to scrap a 24-years of age, 63,000 seat domed stadium that cost over $ 300,000,000 and, in these difficult economic times, pony an impressive $ 1,000,000,000 (that's $ 1 billion!) For "Lucas Oil Stadium" which is not built for acoustics decent and / or baseball, if the opportunity to come to us!

Am I way out there in left field, or does all the corporate imperialism struck a little too close to home … plate?

Any that is the "base" that is, you have to give the Cubs "credit" is a good way to raise money. The only objection I have to is the offer of joint credit cards. And with the draconian new bankruptcy law is now in full effect, which even allows a person to testify for the medical bills and / or student loans, and provides no exception to the tens of thousands of hurricane victims without health insurance, could be just too tempting for a fan of die-hard Cubs to slip right into deep debt and hitting. And all in a bad, bad "no-no" decision pitcher!

This is just one of many, many reasons that I have a credit card!

Perhaps the Bush administration can raise funds to offset the billions $ 2 per week being spent in Iraq the sale of parts of buildings and shattered lives undeclared war has caused. Oh! Sell Parts of the World Trade building to help to pay the "national security." No, wait! How about a "pressure group to adopt a corrupt program" to help pay the 3 billion dollars of budget deficit (largely Communist China … talk about "Homeland Insecurity"!).

LA The possibilities are endless!
