The get in price for tonight’s Bears game is the equivalent of 29 large Italian beef pizzas complete with Italian beef, hot giardiniera, caramelized onions, and fire roasted tomatoes from iconic South Loop spot Flo & Santos. Eat local, go to Flo & Santos because they rule.
An absolutely beautiful tribute to Johnny’s Ice House (East). Grab a coffee and enjoy this mini-doc on a legendary place for Chicago’s hockey community.

@Chicago2100 North Center Town Square, a pretty good pedestrian space just 4 blocks south of the Apple fest was empty.
Maybe do a spillover event there next time?
Cubs rant inbound. 😂
If you promised me Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins would be gone tomorrow, I'd take another 8-0 drubbing by the Padres tonight with a smile.
Give me a FO that prioritizes swing and miss. Not this "we're gonna all throw 92 mph four seamers because 2-seamers find barrels - just need to hit our spots and pitch to the defense" BS we've been R&D'ing ever since Carter got here.
AND THEY STILL CAN'T KEEP THE BALL IN THE YARD.
They had to save Ben Brown by going back and having him learn a sinker before he reaggravated his neck injury. The first thing Toronto did after we DFA'd Taillon was have him ditch the 4-seamer and he gave them a respectable 10 innings.
They folded and went after Cabrera (who sucks, but also a 2-seamer/sinker guy), a sinker baller in Holmes and splitfinger specialist in Gausman. The antithesis of what they spent 5 years trying to establish here. That's on Jed and Carter.
They failed. And you can't just blame losing Horton and Steele for the failings of the pitching lab as a whole.
