Hotel Blake Chicago or Palmer House. Both Hilton properties that are a quarter mile walk to Wrigley.
These are both downtown, over 5 miles away from Wrigley. Unless there are other properties with this name that I'm not seeing.

re: Skubal to Dodgers

They couldn’t deplete their farm system for 2 months if Skubal. They’d be in a hole for years.
Pushing their chips in and going for it is the only way they'll win a world series. Ask their fans if they'd rather 1 championship then a few down years afterwards or a top 3 regular season team that gets bounced in the playoffs every year. Neither is guaranteed obviously, but Skubal on this Brewers team gives them a great shot.
Also, the Brewers farm system might be better than the Dodgers, so the idea that trading 2-3 of their prospects "depletes" them and puts them back years probably isn't true.

Tampa or Milwaukee need their farm systems and couldn’t make this deal.
They could have made this equivalent deal, but the Dodgers would have just increased the offer to make sure they got him. And they know they'll resign him, so it's all worth it. I am pissed the Brewers and/or Rays didn't make the Dodgers pay a steeper price though.

Brewers should go all in for Skubal. Having Skubal and Miz for 4 games in the NLCS is the only way they're beating the Dodgers. But the Dodgers know this, and can just beat out the Brewers knowing they're going to have to change the make up of their team after the lockout anyway; so they might as well go all in for the 3 peat. Brewers won't give up more prospects than the Dodgers would be willing to.

Saw this regarding Skubal. Not really expecting him to go to Chicago, but thought the asking price was interesting. Does either L.A. or Milwaukee meet the "3 major leaugers" price?

Why did the 2 guys leading after a half mile quit and just cheer on Kerr?

Tiger had a large boulder moved by the spectators
Tiger called a rules official who agreed with him that the boulder was indeed a rock, or loose impediment. The rules official told him he could move it if it was possible, so Tiger got a bunch of guys in the crowd to push it out of the way.
re: What channel is the home run derby on?

Derby was awesome. Needing to hit 4 HRs in a row without missing once to win is clutch as it gets. Netflix director has to have serious ADHD though. What was that camera work?

San Antonio is 5 times the size of NOLA and the 7th largest population in the country. If you want to do metro areas, it's just over 3 times the size of the NOLA metro area.

Is the lockout going to come from the players
This isn't possible. Players would strike. Owners lock out players. The players have given no indication that they're going to strike. The lockout would likely begin on Dec. 1 if there's no agreement by then.

As the Cubs have tended to do every year after 2016 - They have at least a month during the year where all of their players quit hitting at the same time.
Yep. Have to hope May was the dismal month of 2026. This offense has way too many good hitters to be this bad for this long.

Brame and Allan win 4&3! Congrats to them! They both get exemptions into the US Amateur with the win.

You had a lot of dudes coming into this series hitting well above their career averages.
Couldn't be further from the truth avg wise. Hoerner, Bregman, Swanson, Busch all have worse avgs than expected right now. Ballesteros was hitting.400 2 weeks ago, and is down in the.250s now. Rookie going through adjustments, but still. I will say this...I don't want to face the Braves before the NLCS in the playoffs. That pitching staff is bonkers.

Congrats on the series win. You caught our offense in a funk. Your pitching is outstanding though. See y'all at Wrigley in September.
Feel trouble brewing with Maton on the mound.
He's been a really bad hitter this year.
I'll take it I guess. Still looking for a hard hit ball from this Cubs lineup.
Thanks Kim. Have to score here.

Still not seeing any primetime games which is disappointing.
The Falcons home game is Monday night football.
Congrats on the sweep. That top of the 1st was the best chance the Cubs will have against Sale tonight. Had to capitalize there.
