Jason Heyward will hit a home run tonight.
Maddon is so fucking different from all of these other cunt managers that came into Chicago over the years. Pretty much all of them, especially Lou Piniella, were grumpy motherfuckers that would act like outright cunts when they had to talk to the media.
Joe seems to love it. He can talk for hours and gives few fucks.

Went to Giordano's in Westchester with the qt3.14gf the other day for some deep dish. I usually stick to Art of Pizza, but I wanted to get out of the city for a day.
Worst fucking pizza ever. The fucking pizza was swimming in a pool of grease. It's unfortunate because I like Giordano's, but that may have killed it for me.
nice one jason you stayed out of the dp
>>68013239

Driving yes but it's not exactly close either. Walking is out of the question.
>>68013478
The Cell is clearly in the city...it's closer to the loop than Wrigley is.
>>68013516
>rumor has it that the reason US Cellular has billboards taking up all of the outfield is to block the view of sniper nests on housing projects
>>68013553
which is why the l exists
>>68013516
its certainly in the ghetto. The police blotter is just carpet bombed with addresses all over that area.
How do you LA people deal with all the Mexicans? They're all over Chicago now and they're worse than Black people
>>68013562
3600 north---cubes park
3500 south--sox parks
Crawford is basically old Heyward, is this what we have to look forward to
>>68013526
it's called Soldier Field
>>68013529
time to put all 162 games on CSN
>>68013562
Never said wrigley was close.
>>68013583
The L literally connects 90% of everything that matters in Chicago.
>>68013592
Heyward's most likely opting out after 2019 so probably not
>>68013589
you buy a bacon wrapped hotdog for 2 bucks and then ask his wife to shampoo your carpet
i wish steve would come back to wrigley...i hate these two bozos
>>68013590
where did you make up these numbers? 35th street is almost exactly 3.5 miles south of the loop. Addison is 5.5 miles north.
>>68013598
Solider field is a disaster of a stadium. Absolute piece of dog shit. Bottom feeder of all nfl stadiums.
>>68013631
Has a killer view though.

I went by IIT all the time. There's just not much there. It's boring but it's not a dense neighborhood.
>>68013630
JUST
>>68013630
Addison is technically 3600. Irving Park is 4000. Byron is 3900. The other guy is right.
>>68013685
but he's not. fuck you can literally google map it. Or are you forgetting that you have to go west too to get to Wrigley from the loop?
>>68013710
> the loop is the only part of chicago
>>68013685
>>68013590
>all these suburbanites
I'm starting to doubt either of you have ever been to either

>>68013734
>this backpedal when distance from the Loop was the entire basis of the discussion
>>68013562
>>68013710
If you have actually been on any of these streets or know anyone that lives there, you will notice that houses and businesses have their addresses as 3xxx N. Blank. As you walk up Addison to Irving, they go from 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, and so on.

are suburbanites really this stupid? If you went 3.5 miles straight north from the loop you'd be in Lake Michigan, not Wrigley Field.

Exhibit A: Starbucks on Southport and Roscoe has the address of 3400. That's south of Addison.
Exhibit B: Capt'n Nemo's on Ashland, between Addison and Grace, has the address of 3650. That's north of Addison.
>I'm going to stupidly ignore that Soler is making a point about street addresses in defense of a guy who implied exactly that about Addison and 35th on the South Side and say that he's stupid because I want to make a point about distance in miles, which wasn't a point of argument to begin with.

Literally no one was talking about the Loop and what would happen if you walked straight north into the lake. What was being discussed were the theoretical parallel lines running West-East and how they are numbered.

>>68013937

No I wasn't, you dense motherfucker. If you want to be smart, then we can actually say that what was being discussed was Madison and how streets are numbered North and South of it.
so what if i was born in chicago, south africa?
>>68014077
Cause they're highly regarded schools for chicago private. Public school fag here tho.

DELETE THIS
>>68014154
he's a slick fielder but has a weak arm
>>68014135
He's talking shit about suburb education but claims to live in the city. Only schools worth attending in the city are private schools. Otherwise he's going to attend sub Sahara Africa the school if hes CPS.
>>68014163
what about Whitney Young, Northside, Jones, Peyton, and the others?
I went to Jones, it was cool
>state farm qt never
:_:
>>68014161
its a weird delivery but I cant recall a time where I thought his arm was lacking
>>68014183
I have never heard of any of those schools.
>>68014192
there's always a loop in it, watch the difference when Baez plays short
>>68014161
I feel like his struggles stem from rushing all his throws, never seems to know how much time he has
>>68014198
maybe you shouldn't talk about things you don't know about
>>68014183
a system as big as CPS will always have some excellent schools
but big picture, CPS is one of the worst districts in the nation
>>68014230
I know CPS is garbage
>>68014161
Agreed. His arm could use some extra strength. Baez and even Starlin have/had better arms. But Russell is so fucking solid with his defense.
>>68014215
its not as good as baez's but im just saying I dont remember it ever being a problem in the past
these cusb radio dudes are pretty chill. definitely riding the hype train tho

Dodgers fan here. Arrieta is a shitty pitcher and will never be as good as kershaw. As I type this my mouth is filled to the brim with semen. Im beginning to lose function in my brain due to my steady diet of cum and kershaws cock. I'm afraid if I don't suck kershaws cock every second I canx people may begin to think he's actually not the goat. Plus I'm really insecure about my team constantly coming up short. Kinda like my penis hehe. Oh darn, gotta go! My wife is sending back to the cuck shed. Jose just got here and he hates when I stick around for the show.

There are more rich yuppies in LA than there are in Chicago for sure. As for dumpster nigger/Mexicans, I'm not sure. But keep in mind that Chicago's north side and downtown are the only habitable parts of the city.
LA is generally a lot worse in every regard though
