Ricketts family takes ownership of Cubs (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The new owner of the Chicago Cubs didn't wait long to make a promise: Tom Ricketts says the Cubs are going to win the World Series. Of course, the Cubs haven't won it all since 1908 and haven't even been to the series since 1945. But Ricketts and other family members were upbeat as they were introduced at a news conference Friday at Wrigley Field.
