Chuck lives there. Nice area.

I love Andy, but I miss Jim.

Jim was like an uncle who had played for the team. Jim felt like family.

I hope his son Jack is doing ok.  He was such an early advocate for special needs kids.  It wasn’t talked about as much thirty years ago but thanks to people like Jim having that courage it is now.

I'm going Sunday. Brother lives in the area and his boys have never been to an MLB game, so it's going to be their first. We are operating under the assumption tickets to see that White Sox team will not be cost prohibitive.

You should be able to get tickets close enough to take out the first base ump.

Are you going to teach them all the waiver rules?  

[Tenacious D]

I’m going Thursday, Friday and probably Sunday.  Heck, might go Saturday, too.

[IdahoBert]

I am expecting us to play some good baseball against the White Sox.

When was the last time if ever the Tigers spent a week on the road in the same city like they are Chicago this week? Nothing springs to mind off the top of my head.

Reminds me of the 30's-40's when they would ride a train to each city. A stop like that would make perfect sense.

Jim Price was my Tigers Fantasy Camp coach in 2008. He really was a swell fella in all the best senses of the word.

Since it’s the White Sox, it’s going to be only half an MLB game. Ease the kids in. Good strategy.

If you don’t go Saturday, you’ll miss Skubal.

The Tigers are coming at a great and weird time. The eyes of the nation and much of the world are on Chicago at the moment, so getting around freely has its challenges, but also, the weather here this week is spectacularly summery in the way you dream in February it will be.

Understanding I could probably easily look it up on Reference, I wonder how common it was that NL teams going to NYC would play the Dodgers and Giants back to back.

[oblong]

It must be nuts in Chicago right now with that other thing going on in the city.  I hope the players are good boys.

[RandyMarsh]

The only reason the DNC has all the big names there is because they knew the Tigers were in town all week as well. 

[buddha]

taking the family to wrigley tonight.  9 year old's first game!

our downtown office is closed this week because of the dnc.  nobody wants to mess with that.  there were some protests down michigan avenue on sunday, yesterday was pretty quiet.  only 5 arrests.

up here we dont see much of anything, even though i live right next to a large arab and jewish neighborhood (living together peacefully, despite the rhetoric of certain chicago politicians).

if youre on the northside, you should be fine.

[oblong]

I wonder if the team is staying in the same hotel the entire time.  I don't know why I concern myself with these things but I do....

[buddha]

The Park Hyatt is cordoned off because that's where kamala is staying, iirc.

i assume the tigers and mlb booked these hotels a long time ago.  if not, theyre in the burbs somewhere.  its probably better to be in the burbs this week.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s where Chuck initially met James Charles Adduci. I believe it was at Harry’s place during the 2016 playoffs there.

I see Adduci is employed by the Cubs now so I imagine that makes the business side of things convenient for everybody.
