Oh that's great for some reason I thought they made the jan 15 signing date permanent. Makes sense then on colas waiting, was only 7 months not 12 and you could get in some playing time this year.

Nick Williams, we picked him up around same time as cespedes. He had some decent success hitting years ago when he first came up then fell off a clip. But sox paid him a decent amount (900k) so they clearly saw some talent there.

yes, not just a problem with bulls. But you can't throw wcj at jokic, ayton, gobert, zion or AD obviously and expect to stop them. Big men are a thing, but he's useful recently, just not going to be an important piece moving forward, maybe a strong bench contributor or 5th guy on a stronger team.

sigh.

just incredible year and work by University of IL, and their saliva test just got EUA. It's being rolled out across IL. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/03/01/university-of-illinois-covid-saliva-test-approved/ They've done an incredible job this year, and after initial rollout issue, were able to keep a low positivity rate even as things exploded in the fall and then post holiday.

Yeah, I think it's a guy to help advance their play designs. Nagy may not know how to put it all together, but I remember a few articles during/after his first year that he was one of the nfl coaches consistently reaching out to college level, picking brains on how college coaches were advancing the offensive attack.

damn that sucks. Did they give you any tips for getting a spot? Even though 20-40 doesn't sound like a lot, I guess that would be about 10 hrs of appts for a 40/day. It used to be Jewel where we were finding a bunch of appts, but it's definitely been walgreens recently so hopefully you can find a spot soon.

Illinois' reported cases have stopped rising after plateauing last week, and they got 51k in on a sunday which to me more than anything means more is probably being done by state/public health places than relying on reporting from independent places.

I think the separation of the park due to LSD and the train line, just makes that whole vibe of integrated city-stadiums much less real and apparent. It's a long, windy walk to get off at the green line at roosevelt to get to the stadium. Yes, there are places you can stop on the way. But it's not like drinking at cork & kerrys or turtles and walking down the street to Grate, or certainly clark st. and controversially, I'd say it even feels way different than madison.

good question, I thought when I had it that the ST mlb.tv was open to all games. But if any current sub has it let us know.

That area could be good for a baseball stadium if it was allowed to build up amenities around it, but friends of the parks has made clear that the history of the waterfront began in 1993 and ended in 2004, and even if it is currently a parking lot it is a parking lot with a lot of important history to friends of the park.

I mean if you are willing to do that, I'm sure you could just find that you suffer from high blood pressure.

Hmm, have you tried calling? When my wife went in through walgreens they tried to schedule one for her, but she said she was able to schedule both online. Could be a disconnect in the store where they are expecting to do that and aren't properly opening up appts for 2nd appts.

Cool oppo, I doubt we have any smrt people on the board but worth passing along if you know any:

First view of Sheets is as a 1b. First time seeing Adolfo in forever. Never heard of Reynolds?

So sounds like this week gets a boost of 4 million J&J vaccines, then pretty much just moderna/pfizer next week, and then the last two weeks will get the majority of the promised 20 million. I know 1C was slated for April 1st, seems like they can hit it earlier, that includes a big group of workers still forced to go in office/place of work (restaurant workers, construction, etc). I'd hope by end of this week they consider moving that target up since it seems like at-risk conditions becomes a bit of a free for all with places not wanting to deal with actually verifying the condition (for obvious reasons).

Sundays at arlington on a beautiful day were the best.

lotta talk about soldier field during this doldrums after Hoge wrote an article about converting Arlington to the next soldier field in a massive complex. I am mostly against suburban stadiums, mainly for how often suburban people feel like it will be in a suburb near them and not like, them traveling all the way east to then get on a north highway then back northwest, etc. But I don't really care with soldier field. A couple reasons: - The bears history with soldier field isn't even that impressive and I think it's kinda weird how attached people are to it. It's not like sox/cubs or even hawks where you could point to a location it's always been. Bears have just this year had as long of a playing history at Soldier Field that they had at Wrigley. - Football attendance isn't a casual event. With there being only 8 games a year at home, it's an all day event you want to be there at a stadium/parking lot for. Soldier field is particularly bad at creating this with its lack of tailgating space, and people aren't going to just lug stuff over a LSD from a nearby parking lot. The liveable part of the city it is closest to is not even particularly lively on a Sunday. Basically long way of saying this stadium is on an island within the city. The whole point of soldier field is the lake, and when you are in t, who cares. And when you are outside it, it makes the lake uglier somehow. - It's lack of seating was a hinderance during the olympic bid, and continues to be a drag for getting some events - Being an outdoor stadium prevents the bears from getting the super bowl So, anyway yeah I don't get the nostalgia for it and it prevents a lot of important things for city/franchise. But McCaskeys will overrate the affinity for it when it's just people's lazy status quo preference.

I went eloy, Timmy, Timmy. Eloy is a runaway at the moment and I feel like I take for granted how awesome a hitter he has become
