Turned on the radio to hear a conversation about the White Sox (eventually) asking for public money (again) to build a new stadium & leverage suburban or out of state relocation.
I think what they’d find is no such leverage would exist because I’m not sure Illinois would want to keep them.

This was called an offensive foul on Gary Trent Jr. at a critical point of the game last night.

#76ers in town tonight.
Nick Nurse quipped last week that maybe the Sixers would play better in the third quarter if they stayed on the bench during halftime. Kyle Lowry suggested another round of layup lines to Tyrese Maxey.
Different tone from both after last night: “A lot of bad.”

The Sixers continue to have a third-quarter problem, even after their lineup switch against Toronto Raptors
That lineup tweak, however, did not solve the issue Wednesday. The Raptors began the third on a 10-2 run, and never surrendered the lead after that.

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

“Large number” being the key words of course.
Brandon Woodruff, willing to break from some off-season fishing time to talk about rejoining the Brewers, is expecting a normal off-season and called taking the QO a no-brainer.
"That’s a large number and it’s a place where I’m comfortable and love. It’s an easy decision."
