Oso planning to go pro
Per Nightengale, Sox want a retractable roof ballpark, in either Arlington, current Soldier Field (if Bears leave), or near United Center.There’s zero chance taxpayers are going to fund both Bears and Sox stadiums.
With the Arlington Park option - you're technically not asking the state/taxpayers to fund both stadiums. The Bears already have pledged not to seek public money for the stadium project itself, just the infrastructure it'll need and that infrastructure would serve both facilities. Yeah, that's totally splitting hairs, but it makes it a more palatable option than two separate projects.And that funding would come primarily through a TIF or similar mechanism. If you're a taxpayer upset about TIFs, then you should be down at village hall protesting already, because there's a good bit you've already got several of them in your town.
Bob Uecker's deal with the Brewers is that he does the radio play-by-play for all 81 home games for the Brewers and no road games. If I'm home I always have the games on TV, but in the car or at work the radio is on. I believe it was the Tuesday or Wednesday Twins game when Levering said "Bob isn't here but he'll be back this weekend." I'm listening Sunday and he's not behind the mic. I haven't heard anything announced. He's 89 and over the years has had a host of serious medical problems. Has anyone heard anything or is this just an old man taking a few days off. I've got kind of an anxious feeling about this one.
I know he wasn't there on Wed, too ungodly hot for anyone, even tho we gutted it out ! ! !
He did the Twins game on Tuesday and I thought he sounded a bit weak or under the weather...just wrote it off as being rusty since the Brewers had been on the road for almost two weeks...but, yes, he has not been on the air since...so concerning.
I love Uek and I hope he is well, but Brian Anderson is way better at this point.
Damn.....how good realistically is the Crew?
He’s been less effective as a game caller for several years now. He still brings a quality all his own to the booth, but he’s only top tier on the mic for his zany stories and pure nostalgia now. Still love him, always will. Doesn’t mean reality doesn’t eventually set in for us all one day.
In a 7 gamer? Those are two tough teams. Doable, but obviously and deservedly underdogs.5 gamers favor chaos, so a little better odds but still dogs tbh.
So vs Atlanta or LA they would have to essentially play lights out?
Let's put it this way. In the last month the Brewers scored a grand total of 3 runs in losing a 3 game series to the Dodgers, 0-3. And they gave up a grand total of 29 runs in losing a 3 game series to the Braves, 0-3.They'd have to play lights out in either series, yes.
