@CubWin That pitch was no where near the plate. The ump just wanted that over with.

@snyyankees Aren’t the players trying to enhance their portfolios too? I have no problem with the players trying to make as much as possible but how are going to criticize the owners for doing the same thing

Cody Bellinger on a possible MLB salary cap: "If the billionaires are wanting it, they're billionaires for a reason. They want to continue to enhance their portfolio as much as possible. Us players understand that. So the answer to your question is, no good."

@snyyankees $174 million career earnings. He should be on his knees praising the billionaire owners.

Piecing these plans together - It appears the Bears are looking at some combination of Lost Marsh GC plus Wolf Lake terminals as a stadium + mega development site (neither site has enough buildable land on its own) - but there's an Interstate running between them ...
Paris Schutz@paschutz

According to Indiana state and federal records - the north part of that site is federally protected from any development, the south part is owned by the US Dept of Defense, and in between are a bunch of private businesses including oil tanks. The state would be looking at a massive eminent domain cost before even putting shovels in the ground on a site that literally touches the border of City of Chicago.

All the complaining and whining about the Bears stadium. 🤦‍♂️ You’re still going to watch every game, you’re still going to buy the jersey, you’re still going to buy the tickets. 🐻⬇️ #DaBears #Beardown #STFU

@BrianCostin Your opinion doesn’t matter. The owners don’t want to play there. Get a job.

Personal Opinion: The Bears don’t need a new stadium deal. They already have the best deal in football. At Soldier Field, the Bears pay just $6.48 million a year in rent, with increases tied to only 50% of CPI every five years. Which means their effective rent drops over time. And no property taxes. At $6.5M/year, it would take roughly 116 years of Soldier Field rent to equal the cost of a $2 billion new stadium commitment. And that doesn't even include property taxes or interest on the loan. The Bears have had no problem increasing ticket prices. According to Statista, the Bears ranked fourth in the NFL in average ticket price in 2023, at $458.17 per ticket. Likely bringing in over $25M+/game. Profitability isn't an issue at Soldier Field. For taxpayers, fans, and the Bears, Soldier Field is the obvious answer: No new taxes. No new property tax shifts. No new infrastructure expenses. No new history to build. No alienation of fans. And the Bears can still develop Arlington Heights or Hammond without putting a stadium there, if that's what they choose to do. Even if they want to develop west of Soldier Field, they are free to join the One Central development or start their own. No one is stopping them from becoming real estate developers if they are dissatisfied with only being a football team. But the bottom line: Soldier Field is the lower-cost, lower-risk option for Bears fans, taxpayers, and the region. The General Assembly doesn't need to do anything. Soldier Field is already the best deal in the NFL.

@untoldchicago @JackThompsonFOX Well X newbie apparently ignorant or just putting out click bait. “Won’t pay property taxes” is flat out lie. And where did the racist thing come from? I must have missed that part.

Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher spoke out against Illinois Democrats for giving billions of dollars to illegal immigrants, while the Bears now plan to move to Indiana because Illinois failed to pass a tax relief and stadium incentive bill. "They just don't care."

@North2North @JBPritzker Legal Owner: An individual or entity recognized by law as holding formal title to the asset, allowing them to control and transfer it. Nobody was able to force you to sell your hot dog stand. The McCaskey’s will and should do whatever they want to do.

Lack of knowledge on subject .I was promised a new stadium when the bears moved to soldier field in 1972 as a temporary location ! @JBPritzker was 6 years old and the incompetent mayor wasn’t born but they should be voted out for a lot of reasons .But the one constant is the family the whole time .The bears have an owner worth 7-11 billion bucks Pat Ryan but will not sell shares to him .
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman

The Chicago Bears are moving 17 miles across the border to Indiana. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker did this. Stop voting for democrats.

@RealCJ10 He’s also hitting the ball way back from his front foot after that stride. When hitting off the tee, move stance back so you’re hitting the ball about even with where you put down your front foot.

Anytime the top of the bat almost points at the pitcher during stride, thats a long way to go to catch up with velocity. Abbreviate the load a bit. Get him to think thru the centerfield wall, not over it. That will allow front elbow to go more directly to the ball. He has a bit of an arm bar (straightening) of that elbow, which also is slowing him down. Hope it helps…
