Sweet. Babbling. Jesus.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that there’s a scheme afoot to have the State Of Illinois buy Wrigley Field from the Chicago Tribune. Apparently, this would maximize the amount of cash the Trib would get. Oh, there’s noise about how this would “protect” Wrigley Field should the new owner be some sort of [...]

It’s surprising because up [...]

President Bush came to Chicago to raise money for the GOP. Considering that Illinois is a blue state, I don’t know how much good it’s going to do any Republican candidate who gets too close to the guy. And you would have thought the advisers who tell him what to say would have warned him [...]

WMBD 1470’s Shaun Newell discusses what it would take for him to switch from the Cards to the Cubs:
