"You know what I love the most about living in the Midwest? There's nothing better than having the temperature go from -5 with several inches of snow to 52 with rain that washes the snow away before plummeting to 16 degrees and freezing all that water. Truly awesome stuff that doesn't at all make me want to scream into a pillow. It doesn't help that the Bears are once again stepping on rakes in their attempt to bully Illinois into paying for their new stadium."
"After all, that's basically how the Cubs operate every winter. We've seen that very clearly in the reliever market, as they passed on the opportunity to sign Brad Keller for what would have been less than the two-year, $22 million deal he got from the Phillies. Luke Weaver signed the same deal with the Mets, leaving Pete Fairbanks as the only remaining closer-type available following several bigger contracts being inked earlier in the offseason."
Midwest weather cycles rapidly between extreme cold, snow, warm rain, and refreezing conditions that create ongoing inconvenience. The Chicago Bears continue to pursue stadium funding, prompting relocation talk to Northwest Indiana and debate over the team's geographic identity. A Method Man and Redman concert in Hammond/Gary sold many good seats early, leaving remaining tickets on secondary markets or in distant rows. The Cubs maintain a conservative winter approach in free agency, passing on Brad Keller before he signed a two-year, $22 million deal and watching Luke Weaver accept a similar contract. Pete Fairbanks remains available but may exceed prior offers.
