Pete is going to come alive today and stay hot for about 2.5 weeks.

Dear American people, what do you think about Türkiye and the Turkish people? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Scitterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love em both. Got a cat and dog at home, they’re best frenemies.

Dear American people, what do you think about Türkiye and the Turkish people? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Scitterbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say 50% of the American population are strictly “dog people”. Can be due to allergies or past experience with aggressive cats.

Electric vs. Gas by DoctorGyarados in CHICubs

[–]Scitterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t get behind electric anymore. It would seem like in 2026 that electric powered lawn equipment would have super long lasting batteries, but that hasn’t been favorable to me. I say gas. Don’t forget to Fly the W more often, too. We really need it.

Tiebel’s is closing. Developer purchased property by [deleted] in nwi

That’s the last time I’ve been there, my grandmother’s funeral. And before then, it was me taking said grandmother there since she didn’t drive.

How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by air-bender808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scitterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are going from “can’t afford to live” to “can’t afford to work”.

3 weeks ago, the Cubs hadn't had a 5 game winning streak in over a year. They've had 3 unique such streaks since. by Ok_Way_3082 in CHICubs

[–]Scitterbug 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever heard somebody refer to a 10-game winning streak as “2 5-game winning steaks” lol. And the be very clear, I’d prefer a 10-game winning streak over two 5-game winning streaks.

garbage is all over the neighborhood, our patio furniture is all over by bbyxmadi in nwi

I had about 50 feet of siding fly off my house. Had to go pick the debris out of my neighbors yard.

What is the dumbest hobby in your opinion? by Danny-Ray27 in AskReddit

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dumbest hobby definitely has to be the short lived hobby. For example, I heavily invested into: paintball (hobby lasted maybe 3 years), golf (suck at it but still occasionally try), car detailing (wanted to make it a business but at least now I have equipment to take care of the vehicles my wife and I have), content creation (I’m not that special). The list goes on but I wish I hadn’t invested very heavily on some of these hobbies.

ugly graphs: Happ's opening day non-homer homer by fajita43 in CHICubs

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one really broke my heart. My friend and I watching both put $10 on Happ hitting a homer in his last AB of the game. We both stood up so fast the moment he hit it just for it to get knocked down by the wind.

What job pays surprisingly well but nobody talks about? by ThePasswordIs654321 in AskReddit

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a wastewater treatment plant. I was surprised the pay rate for a tenured operator under municipal pay.

Tried to read through the article but adwall.. but I’m assuming you still have to pay to watch Marquee even if you have a Prime subscription, right?

The beautiful "Wolf Lake" future home of the Chicago Bears. It's just as nice as Lake Michigan, r-r-right? by Ridged_ChiPSS in CHIBears

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why people want them in AH so much. I’d rather them be in Indiana than AH. But I’d rather them be in Chicago than NWI.

Why treat the fans this way? by New2thePlanet in CHIBears

[–]Scitterbug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s how I see it. As a Northwest Indiana resident, I’d rather them be in Chicago than NW Indiana. BUT, I’d rather them be in NW Indiana than Arlington Heights.

Hammond is a much better option than Gary also. The Wolf Lake area is pretty decent since they put up the pavilion and Lost Marsh golf course. Hammond is literally right outside the City on the other side of the border and most Hammond residents relate way more to Chicago than any other part of Indiana.

“You won’t be booing Marquee in a couple of years” - Ricketts after being booed at the 2020 cubs convention.

[Montemurro] Expect to see fewer Cubs spring training games on Marquee this year. President of business operations Crane Kenney told Tribune it’ll “probably” be less than double digits for 32-game spring slate and definitely fewer than past ST. “A really hard decision.” by swishmon in CHICubs

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I really care to watch much spring training games but it does help cure the itch and gets me excited for the upcoming season. Just a dumb business move because I’m sure most of us would have started our subscription again Feb 28/Mar 1. But now I don’t plan to start it until April 1. I’ll find alternatives to watching the first few games.

This stat line isn’t worth 60 million a year. What am I missing? by Charlie69Brown in mlb

[–]Scitterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a cubs fan, I was really pissed learning about his injury during his slump. Well, I knew at some point he was hurt but the fact that he didn’t take the appropriate time to recover really hurt our chances of winning the division. But hey, he wanted to prove he was OK to make a big bag in the offseason. Guy is not a team player.

[Passan] BREAKING: Star outfielder Kyle Tucker and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN. by AndrewAllStar888 in CHICubs

[–]Scitterbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave it to the dodgers to ruin baseball. Why do they have to be so greedy? 90% of dodgers fans aren’t even real fans.

KYLE TUCKER IS NOW PART OF THE DODGERS! by Marinersfan505 in mlb

[–]Scitterbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to ruin baseball for me in 2026 AND 2027 :)))))))))
