  1. You’re right they don’t but they’ll defend it with their life if someone criticizes it. At least that’s been my experience. But we already have a pizza thread so Real Chicagoans defend tavern style. Deep Dish is for the suburbanites something something The only people I know that are interested in eating deep dish are people from out of town (business trips, vacations). National TV perpetuates the myth that every local person eats deep dish 5 times a week, which is so far from the truth.
  2. No spider tac for Jake today? I haven’t seen any footage but just by the shellacking, seems like it.
  3. Don’t the colonnades have landmark status? If so, they (whoever that is) will have legal trouble tearing it down. I'm pretty sure they lost that status after the renovation because of how poorly the renovation preserved those colonnades Edit: here an article about losing landmark status: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/644198/how-national-historic-landmarks-lose-nps-status IIRC during the remodel they did everything they could to incorporate the colonnades to maintain the landmark status. End result - a shitty looking structure, so bad that it lost the status they tried so hard to maintain. Also - they ended up with the smallest stadium seat capacity in the NFL.
  4. I think Chicago would take the money and run if the Bears made an offer to buy out the lease in a single lump sum payment at 75% of what remains owed between now and 2033. The only question would be what Chicago does with Soldier Field if the Bears leave. Well the Fire have a lease there now, and its still good for those large summer concerts, so they could easily keep the venue open and maybe do a remodel to make it more soccer/concert friendly. Fake Edit: Nevermind, the Fire's lease is only for 3 years so it wouldn't be difficult to boot them if they wanted to tear it down. Don’t the colonnades have landmark status? If so, they (whoever that is) will have legal trouble tearing it down.
  5. Eff off Waino. Start cleaning your own house and talk to Yadi about cleaning up his equipment
  6. I haven't been able to catch much of these west coast games, but I think he didn't make the trip. I think they’re still calling the games back in Chicago. There is no trip to make.
  7. My biggest takeaway too. Maybe people are paying with crypto? I'll wait until I can use a coupon at CVS, then just walk out of the store with it Haha…Then, like a brave soul - you’ll pay a visit to a baseball message board and confess your sins to a bunch of blokes you don’t know.
  8. Heyward is a stark reminder that signing the top FA isn’t always the greatest idea.
  9. Somewhat related, Ravinia has a train stop right outside the venue and after a show - it is a complete nightmare to jump the train. Parking (travel by bus to the lots) is a rodeo as well. Point is - even if there is mass transit, as Tim pointed out - getting a large number of people to leave at the same time is gonna be a nightmare with or w/o mass transit.
  10. The Cards are gonna have to pitch a position player.
  11. Carlos Marmol Mitch Williams Rick Aguilera
  12. Willy C glaring back at Vic after it was hit was pretty good
  13. I had no idea Weathers dad is David. Pretty cool.
  14. It could prove to be a solid pick up, let’s hope he can get a few more solid starts. Then it may be hasta la vista to TW
  15. Wisdom is locked in. He wants to stay.
  16. Agreed that Rizzo would’ve scooped it but It was a routine play to Javy and he short hops it to KB. E #12 for Javy.
