QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) Nieto robbed of a hit by Chavez. He had a good swing on the ball and hit it hard but Chavez robbed him of at least a double. Hope Nieto stays on the roster or we trade to make sure he can stay in our minor league system.

Killed EIU by 18 tonight. I am sure some of you aren't too far from Charleston

Because I care!! GO SEMO!!!

Glad to see Abreu and Viciedo taking walks

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 06:16 PM) Can someone please explain to me how Wilkins wore #79 today? You got your number upside down. Wilkins had 76

Wilkins CRUSHES a 3 run home run

The webcast better have a better quality today!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 2, 2014 -> 05:09 PM) Nieto 2 run 2 out single with bases loaded ties game at 6 apiece in 9th. Just give him the job now

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Mar 1, 2014 -> 06:50 AM) Wanna trade? I have a all season voucher. PM me

Wish they would let me use it in June. As I have no way to make it to Chicago in April for a game..

Is the weather going to get any better in 3 weeks?? Would rather it not be 10 degrees and snowing while in Chicago

The webcast quality is horrible.. I will just wait til it is on MLB Network

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 27, 2014 -> 12:50 AM) There's a Dave & Busters on Clark between Oak and Maple. Looks huge. Well hot damn lol.. Any other fun restaurants/bars kinda like it?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 08:03 PM) That is an extremely broad question. Where about exactly? Just trying to find something do on Friday night when we are come to Chicago besides just go to dinner. I know the NCAA tournament is going on.. Probably would like to go to a place where we can have the games on and have something fun to do.. Like I said, a Dave and Busters type of place

Any suggestions on something to do downtown on a Friday?? Is there any place kind of like a Dave and Busters downtown at all??

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) really? Yes really.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) Are you staying anywhere near an L line? Much cheaper than parking. I am staying in Mount Prospects with family.. And we aren't too comfortable taking a train in the South Side

I only get to go up to Chicago one a summer and hopefully I can go to both games against the Giants on 17th and 18th. The game on the 18th is a day game during the week so I am sure there will be cheaper tickets around. Are there any codes? Or would StubHub be better? Problem is with going to 2 games in a row is the money spent.. Over 40 bucks on parking alone.. There has to be a way to get a cheap deal.

Is Willie Harris still around?? lol. Jon Garland Besides Buehrle who is my favorite pitcher of all time

Why can't True Detective be longer!!??!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Jason and Jake were right. This is bulls***. This team won't stop winning. I thought when they were 9-16 a legit shot at a future star was inevitable. Mirotic better be for real. Who does everyone want with the Bobcats pick? Multiple draft sites have the Bulls taking Rodney Hood as of right now. I don't watch Duke. How good is Hood? He has a chance to be pretty damn good.. He would be our best SF on the roster probably. I would be happy with that pick.

Started True Detective three nights ago and just caught up. It is a really good show. Wish it was more then a short 8 episode series..

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 06:13 PM) The best burger near downtown IMO is at Au Cheval on randolph and Halsted, however its gotten super super busy these days. There are just tons of options to eat, and most of them wont be close to your hotel since thats a pretty pricey touristy area. But for those areas I would say M Burger and Howells and Hood http://www.zagat.com/r/howells-hood-chicago. They both have pretty mean burgers/brews. Howells is near the Mag Mile so good place to stop over when shopping. However it will be pricier than you are used to. For the best pizza near Mil Park I would say its Pizano's http://www.pizanoschicago.com/. s*** I have tons of suggestions this isnt even scraping the surface to be honest. If we were going to be there more then 2 days I would say we would need all the suggestions you have lol.. If the weather isn't to bad we will probably go up to the "Mag Mile" so Howells and Hood might be what we go for on Friday.. We expect it to be busy and pricey with being in Chicago so its alright if you have pricier suggestions. We will look into them and decide!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) Then make it easy, just use the 20 Madison bus there and back, runs up and down Madison and drops you off at the UC. After the game, there will be buses lined up waiting to take a ton of fans back that way. Can't miss it. If you decide you want to go to Crossroads, you can get off the 20, eat/drink, and either get back on the 20, walk (it is safe and you'll have a lot of people walking with you), or take the free shuttle from Crossroads (or any other bar on Madison). QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) Millenium park is all the way to the east side of chicago. Chicago is an easy grid system with 100's being a city block. Madison is the zero North/South mark and State st is the 0 from east to west. The UC is on Damen which is 2000 west or 20 blocks west of State st on Madison. You can take the 20 bus right there at Michigan and Madison and go all the way to the UC or on your way once you pass Morgan (1000 west) you will start to see bars like Old 5th, Beer bistro, Crossroads, Third Rail, and even further, West End. You can get off that bus at anytime and those bars will have a shuttle. They will announce when its about to leave and they can take you back to the bar afterwards from the madison ST entrance at the UC. Crossroads is my personal favorite since I know everyone but any of those places is a good bet. There are also some of the best restaurants in the country 2 blocks north on randolph st if thats your thing. The area is very nice and safe. Thanks guys! Seems like 20 bus will be the best bet and easiest. Rock, we will be looking for a good restaurant to eat at on Friday night.. We are burger type people, any suggestions on a good burger place downtown?

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Taxi. Seriously, it can't be more than $15 bucks from downtown. I would be fine with it but my girlfriend really doesn't like taxi's and I am not a big fan either and there are cheaper alternatives It is only 3 miles so I can't imagine it being that much.
