  1. Peregrine falcons tend to come around in Spring and seem to like tall buildings in absence of actual cliffs. Maybe they're nesting lower this year for some reason. I wonder if they're more prevalent this year in general, the Field Museum monitors them and their reintroduction program has been very successful. I'm a big fan of the guys that live atop University Hall at UIC. Part of me thinks it would be really cool if they're nesting at the ballpark, but I also worry about their safety if Zac Gallen ever pitches here.
  2. Thanks for posting this, I've been very conspiratorially-minded after learning about Bally's bankruptcy considering that Reinsdorf had this partnership with them and that it's based out of the United Center. I assumed he lost money and that it would negatively impact the team. I guess we'll see what happens, the other thing I find very odd (and unethical) is that NBA reporter Shams Charania is part of this enterprise. How can you be considered a "journalist" and literally be on the payroll of one of the owners you're supposed to report on? This whole thing seems very shady to me.
  3. It's probably the green screen advertisement on the backstop. There was a Mets game last week where balls were disappearing when they crossed the plate. Advertising gone too far.
  4. robert is about the only guy i would keep. cease is great, but you imagine he warrants a great return and who knows if he can pitch like he did last season over the life over whatever huge contract he earns. robert is an incredibly special player if he can "put it all together". remains to be seen, but it's about the only aspect of this season i'm looking forward to, his development.
  5. first to home in about two seconds. this guy has every tool to be AL mvp and even give a really good mike trout impression.
  6. lance looks unhittable through two? maybe he'll only give up six runs in the 5th inning tonight.
  7. Everyone is talking about the pitching, but how did Keller come out of that with only one earned run? Could have just gone up there and not swung and would have scored more runs.
