1. All state employees should be trying to bust up AFSCME

2. Well the MLB players union members are millionaires, so…

3. Trolls are gonna troll too - I see!

4. Looks like Jamie beat Ron the Facebook troll.

5. See this is evidence of that pure hatred and anger that is going to erupt on Nov 15th when the ILRB rules on the AFSCME contract. That’s why the “Keep calm” memo went out.

   Rauners only way out is to tell his owned ILRB to accept the ALJ recommendation.

6. Governor Rauner has accomplished very little in his first two years. His reluctance to govern and his zealous belief that his answers are the right answers have resulted in chaos. Compromise is the way out of this horrible mess.

7. Strongest union in America.

   South Side Jerry, during the lockout, said MLPA had to be busted or numerous franchises would fold. Neither happened.

   Today, the players, owners and broadcasters all make big money, and the value of franchises are going through the roof.

8. == haters ==

   Meh. Looks like a fair ? from here.

9. A Cub Championship reminds Bruce of 1908 and the Lochner-era Court routinely invalidating labor and market regulations.

   Heart-warming stuff!

10. Wrong forum. If you cannot celebrate the Cubs victory, be quiet!

    Comment by Last Bull Moose Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 11:39 am

11. Rauner’s Twitter feed has been full of snarky responses for quite a while. Some of the responses are even as good as this one. Seriously, it’s worth a read. Well, it’s worth a read after you’ve kept up with the @MisterJayEm Twitter feed.

12. Troll’s gonna troll.

13. Break up that union so we can test Arrieta and find out what his cycle really was. (For educational purposes only, of course).

    Go cubs.

    Comment by BK Bro Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 12:06 pm

14. This kind of nasty political stuff that deflects away from the pure happiness and civic unity brought about from the Cubs winning the championship ticks me off and I am not even a Cubs fan. Why can’t people be allowed to celebrate their victory and have nice things for even a day?

    Comment by Responsa Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 12:23 pm

15. Looks like Rauner is wandering around back stage at the Cubs rally. No one talking to him.

    Comment by Higer Ed Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 12:31 pm

16. Responsa, I’m with you.

    But I’d add that I’d be happy if the politicians would just stay away on days like this. Same the said things for the Bears, Bulls, Sox and Hawks celebrations.

    Seriously, who wants Rauner and Emanuel in the parade and at the podium today? The fans? No way. They’re a wet blanket.

17. ==I’d be happy if the politicians would just stay away on days like this==

    I agree, but I’d make an exception for politicians who took celebrating sports victories as seriously as our neighbors to the north once did:

18. is Rahm going to declare Billy Williams dead like he did to Bobby Hull?

    Comment by Macoupin Mac Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 12:45 pm

19. He brought it on himself, one might say.
    “More for the owners,” he might say.

    This has to be a put on right? No way someone could be that obtuse.

21. there’s only one turnaround agenda that worked and Theo’s the mastermind

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 1:58 pm

22. ==South Side Jerry, during the lockout, said MLPA had to be busted or numerous franchises would fold. Neither happened.==

    And it’s $600+ for a family of 4 to actually go to a ballgame. We win. Yay us.

    Comment by A guy Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 2:39 pm

23. If you’re spending $600 bucks to take yourself and 3 others to a baseball game, then you’re doing it wrong.

    Comment by AlfondoGonz Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 2:45 pm

24. I don’t. Right or wrong.

    Comment by A guy Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 2:51 pm

25. HAHA that’s a good one
