That’s a nice arena for concerts as well. Saw Bob Dylan with Mavis Staples there.

I know this is kind of repetitive, but “Fire Tony!”

Agree. Then the Cardinals immediately hire him back as an honorary coach or some other honorary position for the rest of the season, so he can retire alongside Pujols and Molina in St. Louis as well.

I find women’s basketball to be a purer form of the game.

=== it was looking good early===

The team seemed gassed all night.

Gorgeous seats, awful outcome. Parker was absolutely on fire from the get-go and Copper looked good after the first few minutes, but the rest of the team was playing like their shoes were untied. Hopefully they pull it together for the second game like they did against New York.

Sky games are great. Connecticut brings a real 90s game and the refs went with it. Candace was up to it. Kah seemed a little off but got with it. Everyone else seemed slow to pick up the rules of engagement for the night. Emma couldn’t buy a bucket in the first half. Sloot even seemed a little timid when it came to playing her game.

I wonder if Ald. Ray Lopez once worked for Pat Quinn? He has his own “cutback amendment-esque” proposal for reducing the City Council in half:

JR should sell the team like Moreno.

The Bears may not have a lot of talent on that roster, but so far they hustle. Different sports, but interesting contrast with the Sox.
