I am sitting here wondering where all the Pete-Crow Armstrong haters went?

The ones that posted a play where he lost a ball in the sky and were acting like he’s a lazy/bad defender.

Where are they now that he’s hitting 19-46 (.413) with 5 homers amidst an 11 game hit streak?

PCA IS SO BACK! #Cubs

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

$175 million to swing and miss on ball 3 and strikeout on ball 4 with the bases loaded. #Cubs Alex Bregman, ladies and gentlemen.

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@obvious_shirts I think that’s the point of the Bears moving there….

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@SonRanto Saying the people get nothing from an NFL stadium whilst calling others “smooth brained” is about as ironic and moronic as it gets. You are so stupid 🤣

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@barstoolWSD No they cannot. A city doesn’t have trademarking rights to their name. Please leave this stuff to people who have more than a single brain cell.

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@SonRanto The Bears are moving because those billionaires you’re talking about don’t think it’s fair to front 70% of the money to build a stadium that they wouldn’t own and would then have to lease back from the government that only ponied up 30%. 🤡

@SpeakerWelchIL IL vs IN tax game

State Tax Individual Income
IL: 4.95% IN: 2.95%

Property Tax (Effective Rate)
IL: 1.88% IN: .76%

Sales Tax
IL Avg: 8.96% IN: 7% flat statewide

Business Tax
IL: 9.5% IN: 4.9%

In other words, you’re a LIAR!

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

I can’t think of a worse way to follow-up a massive comeback walk-off win then to come out against a truly abysmal Giants team and get your face kicked in 18-3. This team sucks. #Cubs

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@barstoolWSD @GovPritzker @ChicagosMayor Blaming the Bears in any sort of capacity here is ignorant and stupid.

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@GovPritzker You want to run for POTUS but can’t run your own state properly. You boast “balancing the budget” but never mention the $200B in unfunded pension liabilities, increase in nearly every tax category, and punishing of businesses that has now driven out the Bears. Nice job, JB!

[Landon @landon20s]

Da Bears didn’t choose Indiana because of a stadium

They chose Indiana because Indiana treated the project like economic development

The stadium is one piece. The real focus is decades of construction, hotels, restaurants, housing, jobs, tourism, and tax $ around it

Big projects follow places that want to grow. That’s the real lesson here imo

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

JB Pritzker wants to be President of the United States, yet is such an incompetent buffoon that he's about to be known as the Illinois Governor who lost the Chicago Bears to Indiana.

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@ShelbyHarris93 They didn’t want to pay less, they wanted to own their property. How is that a problem?

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@disavowed24 @LazarusRis45262 @Directhim Wow I bet you feel silly.

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren:

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

@Athletics Care to elaborate how this ended for you?

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

THAT IS WHAT THIS TEAM AND PCA NEEDED!!!!!! #CUBS

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

Again, I keep tagging these California Democrats with the same question and none of them answer. Why did the last wave of mail-in ballot results published show Dem candidates receiving 100% of the votes? It’s statistically impossible for that to happen, so please explain!

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost California by millions of votes in the 2024 election, and now he's trying to undermine confidence in our elections because he’s a repeat loser here.

Sorry Donald, the voters decide who leads California. Not you.

[Mark @MarkFooterman]

The last wave of ballots in CA went 100% to Dem candidates. Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini all agreed that a perfect 25k–0 partisan split in mail ballots has a probability so low it’s statistically indistinguishable from 0 in any plausible election scenario.@TomSteyer care to explain?

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

Donald Trump is not a fan of free and fair elections, but we already knew that.

California: We count every ballot. Thank you for your patience as we give democracy time to work.
