Had a good talk with a Philly friend about this today. Consensus there is, people want to pile on but instinctively know it's wrong in this situation. In Philly! They threw batteries at Santa!

"Chicago" is mentioned once, because Wes Unseld Jr. is on the staff.

I'm in the center field batters eye and this looked like it was headed for Sheffield. Landed a row into the bleachers.

Hard to judge distance from here but he sure hit it hard.

One cool thing about being in the auxiliary press box at Wrigley Field: You see things you normally don't.

Like two guys working to assemble four pieces of the 100-yard long American Flag to be unfurled before the Anthem!

You weren't relying on the planning of the 2019 Chicago Bears organization for most of your meals, though.

UPD: Just 103. I think the TV Feed fooled me.

Can't wait to see Statcast on that Judge homer because I think its EV broke the sound barrier.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

"Who do you think you are?"

"What gives you the right?"

Well, they took away the cooking demos and tastings that made the Festival Center so...Central...

And no one needs to check in for info anymore because it's all on their phones...

So, I go with sad. More "special", lost.

In rural southern Illinois, an NPR affiliate tries to fight on amid federal cuts In southern Illinois, a public radio station was already operating at the margins when Donald Trump called for NPR’s defunding. Now it needs to fill a $1.4 million hole.

It's been two decades since I signed off from WSIU, and I know at least 3 of the people quoted in here. Pillars of the community, whacked at for no reason other than 'the angry people told us to'.

Frankly I'm trying to figure out what your questioning would even be like.

"So, Juror number 14...you...sit in your basement...poring over baseball statistics...while dodging cats and listening to classical music...and...you make money this way?"

Yes but this is one case where you can let your personal freak flag fly, to your benefit.

Don't antagonize the other jurors of course, but make it clear you'll be a "handful", and the lawyers won't want you on the jury.

(Plus you might be excused by luck of the draw)

You're playing this wrong. Show up in the shorts, and be "you" during voir dire, and you're probably back to the ZiPSing after lunch.

Mac Jones looks like he's going to flip a coin to decide whether Robin lives or dies.

Frankly, I see it as "Jesus Christ. *another* ad?" Every other commercial these guys get is for a betting site.

Is it just me, or does that math not math right? There have only been 16 of these series.

Nick Foligno is at the Cubs game, so he's just fine, @scottpowers.bsky.social (Nazar and Bedard are here too).

Patrick Williams left practice today. Billy Donovan said it looks like an ankle sprain, severity is uncertain.

That's so Fetch.

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Glitches in the matrix.

Frankly, I think the only name you shouldn't date is a Bentley, for fairly obvious reasons!

Maybe this will cheer you up: A good friend of mine dated what felt like 12 different "Dan"s. She married the last one. I officiated the wedding and the only request she had was that I couldn't joke about all the different Dans.

Matt Boyd is your #Cubs Game 1 starter.

The bunting is out of storage here at Beautiful Wrigley Field.

Had it all the way. #bearsky
