I completely forgot about that soundbite. I don't blame him for calling it a dream job, the Cubs are an institution in baseball. It's the fact that you're going from one division team to another and knowingly rubbing your former team's fanbase in the mud over it - like, Craig - you played for MKE..

I wanted the Mets to hire Counsell so bad after we brought in David Stearns.

It's really interesting seeing how Brewers fans are treating Counsell now that he went to the division rival instead of the Mets lol.

This is absolutely the dream.

If you're not on board with two teams meeting together in the World Series that have never won it previously, then you're not the kind of baseball fan that I want to associate with.

>Me with the Phillies but knowing I'm mutuals with a few Phillies fans on here.

Sometimes you have to balance grace with sports fandom.

It's a tightwire act sometimes.

I wish more fans treated inter-division rivalries the way you do.

Good sportsmanship is good.

I live a mile north of Wrigley and I gotta say it's going to be really nice to not have to worry about the trains being flooded with Cubs fans at Addison until late March. God bless.

Oh hey it's The Montrose, I live right down the street from that.

Probably one of the worst buildings in my neighborhood in terms of crime.

Agree with the idea of mixed-use commercial/residential buildings as a concept though.

WALKING AROUND WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.

SELL YOURSELF SHORT BUT YOU'RE WALKING SO TALL, IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.

I feel like I'm going insane. Liberals are more focused on dunking on Trump for not winning the Nobel Prize than on Chicago, which is currently being invaded on Trump's orders and this is how I feel right now:

Obviously this book doesn't have anything to do with immigration raids as it was written in the 90s, well before this administration, but it will help serve as a starting point to better understand why communities like South Shore are easy targets for immigration officials.

If you've read this article or similar articles about the conditions in the South Shore and adjacent communities, I highly recommend you read 'Our America.'

This book changed my life & my entire view of the city I call home, Chicago. It documents the conditions of the Ida B Wells housing projects.
