First time this year I feel good about being a Sox fan.

The Governor couldn’t “find” a tie?

In all seriousness Kerry Wood looks like he has lost quite a bit of weight.

I couldn’t stand him as a player, but Kerry Wood looks great.

Does anyone else think Tom Ricketts looks like Ted Cruz?

Hey guys, this governor’s gig is awesome. Say whatever I want. Wear whatever I want. Stick it to whomever I want. I haven’t had this much fun since I fired that …

Tom Ricketts couldn’t make it, so Scott Walker filled in.
Comment by Cheswick Tuesday, Sep 29, 15 @ 12:50 pm
Rauner: Kerry, your foundation does great work, but you were in a union. So I’m here to announce your foundation is being closed until my Turnaround Agenda is approved and the players association disbanded. Tom will back me up on this, right Tom. Thank you and good night.
Comment by Michelle Flaherty Tuesday, Sep 29, 15 @ 1:02 pm
Is it me, or could Tom Ricketts pass for Ted Cruz’ double?

Veritas and Commonsense - Yeah, the very first time I saw Ted Cruz on TV the first thing I thought was “man, he looks just like Tom Ricketts.” Nobody I’ve mentioned it to really agrees though. Thanks for vindicating me!

Tom Ricketts receives the “Still Promising Career” Award. The competition was admittedly fairly weak.
Comment by Robert the Bruce Tuesday, Sep 29, 15 @ 1:42 pm
He looks like a less chubby Ted Cruz.

Comment by siriusly Tuesday, Sep 29, 15 @ 1:52 pm
“Tom, ____ and Kerry”
…
Obviously the blank represents the blank checks that Gov. Rauner freely hands out to his legislative pets. What else did you all think the blank stood for? Tsk. Tsk.

Yeah, Rickett’s would be the superstar if he was standing with Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox management team.
