This makes zero sense other than the fact that living in Chicago is awesome.
The White Sox have been looking for more power.
They might have found an answer after landing Japanese free-agent slugger Munetaka Murakami.

So, not sure where this is happening elsewhere but our local, unionized Starbucks (which is in middle of main commercial area) is staying open during the strike for limited hours. Which iI would imagine means they are moving non-unionized workers to the store to keep it open?
