So lovely to walk to work needing to wear a sweater this morning in west central Illinois!

Seems Fall arrived overnight here in the 217.

Watched the White Sox (in the background) the last 2 nights, both losses.

Sox are 6 back, Guardians “magic number” is 7

There’s talent on that White Sox ball club, for me it seems to feel they get to that line of reaching it then they step a whole step back with either a poor bench decision or a mental error at the plate, on a base path, or on the field.

Still, it’s tough not to start and end discussions with the managing of this club… from clubhouse to in-game.

So some folks may have gotten caught taking money for votes relating to traffic control cameras. How does our Press do their job if people’s names are kept a State secret by Statute? We need to know the details of our Cannabis licensees. Release their application material.

The Sox look about done this year. Times might be a little thin in the very near future for Chicago pro sports, in terms of championship-level success. Hopefully the Bulls can be good again. Just win, baby.

Glad the Illinois Mega Millions winners collected their prize. Was weirdly nervous for the state they never would come forward with the ticket and Illinois would lose out on the tax money.

White Sox, the death of hope.

Low 50’s this morning, high today in the low 60’s. The first full day of fall feels like fall.

When I rolled into work at 6:30 this morning there were already people tailgating for a 7:30 pm kickoff. Go Illini.

The end of the 2022 baseball season is rather like the end of the 2005 season. The White Sox and Cleveland in a tight race for a while, but one team showed a lot of spirit and pulled ahead of the other decisively.

Unfortunately the team with spririt, hustle and confidence in 2022 is Cleveland. A frustrating ending to a frustrating season for Sox fans.

Is this an open forum for any topic?

Would recommend The Tylenol Murders podcast with Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair.

It just started.

totally agree with One Man and it appears other news sources are on the story cause an arrest may be imminent. Chicago Detectives Ford and Gildet remind me of Flynn and Provenza on The Closer.
