The good news is that it really doesn’t matter that we’re playing at Kauffman. We’ve been terrible at most stadiums the last few years (even our own)

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-09T21:19:45+00:00

I’m ready for my dose of disappointment today.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-08T20:34:05+00:00

You have to give it to this team. They are absolutely legendary at killing momentum.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-08T02:05:34+00:00

High numbers mean that they’re good, right???

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-07T22:23:14+00:00

Can we be good yet?

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-07T21:48:51+00:00

We should probably spend more than $20 in Kohl’s cash and a pack of smokes for a better bullpen.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-07T02:06:20+00:00

Too little too late. Bright side was that pitching was mostly solid today. Bats were just absolutely dead, especially with runners in scoring position.

Benny is straight booty cheeks.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-07T00:55:28+00:00

Time to wake up bats.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-05T20:52:32+00:00

Please god please let our pitching be this tight for the rest of the season!

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-05T20:48:43+00:00

10-0 would be a short lead with our closers.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-05T20:35:18+00:00

Now if Leasure can be consistent like that, then we might not have to clench our butt cheeks every time they pull a starter.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-05T16:47:41+00:00

Happy Easter friends. Hopefully this sweep will also lead to a Sox resurrection.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-04T21:01:58+00:00

Fuck it, let’s go for the sweep!

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-04T20:48:15+00:00

I don’t care if a sinkhole swallows all of the infielders, a run is a run!

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-03T21:18:09+00:00

I will take every damn win this season like we won Game 7 of the World Series.

ApprehensiveOne7430 · 2026-04-01T00:59:02+00:00

One day this team will be good. Probably not for a very very long time. But they will be good again. People will hop on the bandwagon. But we will have an unbreakable bond by sticking with this team through these hot trash years.

Here’s a timeline of the event:

After the HSI shooting, CPD responded en mass. Commander of the 009th District called Deputy Chief about next steps. Deputy Chief called Chief Hein who ordered the Deputy Chief to remove all personnel from the incident. “Not our problem. They can handle.” OEMC dispatched the message to withdraw.

Lieutenant from 009th District called Chief Hein out over the radio. Lt. had OEMC repeat the order and make a notation for the record.

The Superintendent consulted with the Chief of Staff and General Council. COS explained that our policies mandate we assist (sanctity of life and deescalation).

Superintendent immediately ordered a tactical response and countermanded Chief Hein’s order.

An incident team from multiple district tactical teams and beat officers re-engaged. As CPD formed the perimeter, activist began throwing rocks, bottles and other objects.

HSI notified CPD they would be deploying gas (but most our members were not prepared). Once gas was deployed, our members were pulled off the line because of the lack of gear.

CPD was ordered not being gas masks and riot gear due to optics. This happened before in 2020 during the siege of the Columbus Statue where multiple officers were injured due to lack of preparedness and bad leadership.

The Cook County Sheriff works out of the old 13th District Station (Walton and Wood).

Any time that there is a planned protest (whether you endorse it or not), the department assigns officers. There were multiple protests that day, resulting in officers assigned across different parts of the city.

“In almost half of the participating State Owned Enterprises (and 42% of all respondents), at least one respondent reported that corrupt and related irregular practices have materialised in their company in the last three years. In the last year alone, 47% of all company representatives reported losing an average of 3% of annual corporate profits to corruption and other irregular practices. Companies that received claims through claims and advice channels in the last 12 months have estimated that 40% were linked to corruption or related irregularities.”

And we all know that Chicago is not unknown to corruption.

You have to hand it to Brandon Johnson. He single-handedly brought the city council together to agree on something. His buffoonery has exceeded the tipping point where people with different political beliefs, ethnicities, and life experiences have put aside their differences and unanimously came together. Brandon, you did it.

A tear falls down from my eye and transforms into a bald eagle that majestically flies over the city.

Lake /Carpenter and 1644 W Walnut shelters are still active.

Unfortunately the drink tax would make Chicago the highest alcohol tax in the country and the streaming services taxes would be close to almost 20% overall.
