The impending Cubs sale follows Mark Cuban everywhere he goes, but it's not like he's taking a cruise in Alaska, either; of course, if he hangs around the Cubs, he's going to make things even worse. Oh well: Cuban showed up to Kerry Wood's annual bowling charity event last night, and was subjected to some surely genius questions about the Cubs, which he answered politely and with a large dose of discretion. Hey, Mark Cuban can be quiet! Who knew?
"This isn't about me; I'm just here to support a good organization," Cuban told a large media gathering outside the venue. "The Cubs have smart, smart people here," he said. "The team is doing great things. I just stay out of the way. Believe it or not, I can stay out of the way."Showing up at Kerry Wood's charity event is not exactly what I'd call staying out of the way, but Cuban is playing this perfectly -- he's building his brand with Cubs fans as a reserved, yet fun, owner, balancing trips to the bleachers in Wrigley with the discreet quotes of a CEO. Not too shabby for a long shot.

I hope Cuban never gets to 1st base with the CubsW.rigley has a wonderful reputation with Chicago Cubs. Cuban is a loud obnoxious man with no class. I guess money talks.

Mark Cuban would be the best owner in baseball and possibly bring a world series championship to the cubs organization as well.
