Just here to chirp about Chicago sports

WHAT DID I SAY?! https://t.co/Fg7BiM6XcY

Happ has a lead off dinger. Calling my shot. https://t.co/W4xEgGIPlE

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@rand0mguy555 @Kylerm146110M @ccf_Connoisseur @Socceroos Yeah… that’s how the game works. Maybe it makes more sense now why your only legitimate shot was from that flop Italian taking pot shots that landed in the stands.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@Socceroos @SassuoloUS @cvolpato10 Impressive display of nonsense. Spent more time flopping than playing on his feet. Embarrassing to watch.

Chicago Fire mentioned in the opening to the first World Cup game. We might be back. #cf97 #VamosFire

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

King, Hughes, Olczyk, Foley, Santo, Joniak, Amin, Benetti, Kasper, Funk, Thayer, Swirsky, Murray, Hawk, Coomer, Brenly, Deshaies, Wennington, Wiedeman, Stone, and a whole bunch more.

I’ve been blessed to live in a golden era of #Chicago sports broadcasting.

[Tori Rubinstein @ToriRubinstein]

There was an extended period in Chicago where Stacey King, Jason Benetti, Adam Amin, Steve Stone and Eddie Olczyk were all on the air at the same time. Oh, how lucky we were.

[Greg Huss @OutOfTheVines]

The NBC/Peacock Sunday Night Baseball broadcast is elite.

Jason Benetti on play-by-play is tremendous. Having two color commentators with intimate knowledge of each team is genius. Including a recent player as eyes on the field for specific scenarios is unique and works.

@d0m1nat0r81 @berktaughtyou @JoshuaMellin @RossRead @chicagobars “Blaming the victim”

It’s some pictures on Twitter. If they don’t want to take the time to “protect” their pictures from people then who cares? Congrats on your first day using the internet.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@JoshuaMellin @RossRead @chicagobars You could’ve just been chill about this instead of being a fucking weenie. I hope you break a lens.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@AmonAmarth86 @john_woody @Ryanash2000 @pmagnerjr Ah, yes. If Buckley Stanlington IV had taken a piss at Notre Dame stadium in 1863 during the Wally Widget Cup it would be a real stadium.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@rawdogofficial1 @CGJXXIII He played for my team and he’s still solid. That’s just called being a fan, lil bro. You’re the one who hopped into another man’s replies to publicly do tricks on Boosie’s meat 💀 gotta rest those Twitter muscles, buddy.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@SethDConklin @JTCharles01 @CourtneyRCronin Then I apologize for misunderstanding your stance. I think both sides of the table are greedy in their own respects, and the circus that’s happened as a result is ridiculous. At this point they could play in Helsinki if it means I don’t have to see Kevin Warren again.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@SethDConklin @JTCharles01 @CourtneyRCronin You blindly dislike the state government and so you think it gives a $8.9B sports team carte blanche to get whatever they ask for, and then you claim others are just blindly accepting a false reality. I don’t believe you’re spending your free time looking through meeting minutes.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@SethDConklin @JTCharles01 @CourtneyRCronin Not really. Just hypocritical tbh.

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@SethDConklin @JTCharles01 @CourtneyRCronin Weird, I didn’t see you in those meetings.

[MLB Hall of Pretty Good @hallofgoodpod]

🚨BREAKING🚨

Ryan Dempster received 70% of over 24,800 votes and is now officially the 75th member of the Hall of Pretty Good!

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@hallofgoodpod Easily one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia that I own is this “used” bottle from my first game at Wrigley as a kid (signed by @Dempster46 ). It just happened to be the game where we clinched the division in 2008 🥹 Congrats on making the HoPG!

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@rawdogofficial1 @CGJXXIII Yeah, but he has millions and a Super Bowl ring while you’re just a bum on the couch 💀

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@dirttracklive 😂

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

Lots of idiots with a strong opinion on this.

The #Bears tried to play hardball by continually teasing that refinery swamp in Hammond, and the state called their bluff today.

#cf97 managed to get this done quickly without any issues AND stay in the city.

#FireKevinWarren

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The Illinois House ended its legislative session early this morning without final passage of a bill to support a #Bears stadium in Illinois.

Statement from the team:

“We will finalize our evaluation of both Arlington Heights and Hammond, and remain on the late spring/early summer timeline that we have previously communicated. We will provide an update when we have a decision to share."

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@Pbr1389le “Chicago cannot afford a 1 dollar loss” tells me this conversation isn’t going to be beneficial for either of us. If you want to go on believing that the Bears are some golden goose, and they’re not trying to squeeze the state/taxpayers, then go with God, big dawg 🤝

[WrigleyBird @WrigleyBird]

@Pbr1389le Yep because people are going to start staying in Hammond, and flying into Gary, and all of the fans will start only going to bars in Indiana on game day. Also, Navy Pier is 3 miles north of Soldier Field. I think you grossly overestimate the economic impact of ~10 days a year.
