  1. Sure. But the Bears are a sports team for entertainment and really don't have an impact on your life unless you are a season ticket holder and they keep raising my prices. The politicians decisions have an impact on everyone in the state and they keep raising everything for everyone. The Illinois politicians could have made their decisions 2 years ago. They continued to say any negotiations with the Bears were not a priority again this year. Until the Bears brought in Indiana.
  2. I don't think it necessarily says what they think of Baldwin. If hebwas out of options, yes. But since he has that flexibility I think it allows them to see if anyone else can be a decent players going forward and bring Baldwin up when ine of them fails.
  3. I dont think winning every single game is going to be the priority yet. Even with the 100 percentile of winning games they won't be in contention for the divsion/playoffs. Development is still the priority.
  4. Because this is still development and they want to see what they have in the players that are out of options. Baldwin would be up at some point.
  5. I think Baldwin gets sent down as he has options. They'll evaluate guys like perriera or selenium to start the season.
  6. Or the Angels. They bring all the first round ones up really early.
  7. It really only counts for young players to get a role and start off well. And of course to get ready for the season without injuries. Which isnt easy as we've seen.
  8. Hit a homerun near that light pole in left field while on my honeymoon. We stayed in Galena in the same b and b Kevin Costner did when he filmed the movie.
  9. It always counts. Ammo for family gatherings.
  10. Stuff today is more about tunneling and shape as opposed to just velocity.
  11. I agree they won't play in indiana. Not sure what the bears owe as the big difference is the bears are a tennant of the city. Most private businesses either own or rent from other private businesses. The bears dont generate as much tax as they dont own the stadium and the city takes the tax from the revenue the bears generate from being a Tennant. If the bears owned the stadium the city/state would get that revenue as well.
  12. Only 3-5? An improvement over the last couple of years. 😁
  13. So the big problem the bears caused was not to trust the politicians to be fair with the certainty of property tax? That sounds like the politicians are the issue not the bears. When the tax bill went from 3 million for an operational race track to 16 million for an empty lot, im going with the politicians are the issue.
  14. Its getting the players that are going to the WBC in the lineup early
  15. How are they trying to extort money? From what I've read its chicago trying to extort the money from the Bears to pay down the city's debt on the stadium.
  16. That would be great if they can do that and keep it under an 800 meter walk or so.
  17. I don't think it will be easier to get to. The Metra drops us off right at Soldier Field. Unless they add a southshore stop there.
  18. Its a new world though. Guys like Roch never used to make it to college. Now colleges can pay more than players can make in the draft unless they are really high draft picks. With the transfer portal many can bounce around as free agents and do pretty well.
