The Ryan Dempster talk show style sessions really are fun live (at least when I went in 2016). Surrounded by people having a good time, seeing the Cubs have a good time.

Since then they’ve seemed less so. Maybe because I’m not there live, maybe because the schtick wears thin, or maybe because you guys make me awful and ruin everything.

I think it's probably just the fact that Ryan Dempster is quite bad in general.

When the Cubs get their own channel and need content to fill slots, they should make Friday Nights with Ryan Dempster a recurring show.

I don't think they have an exact time yet to announce the Harper signing. Could be Friday night or early Saturday. Machado signing announcement will be Saturday around dinner, I'd imagine.

I'm flying into O'hare tomorrow morning and staying at the W - Lakeshore. I was planning on just getting an uber from the airport but is there a better/easier/cheaper way? I don't care if it's a little more expensive for an uber if it's way more convenient, though.

[SouthSideRyan]

Define morning, if you’re going to hit rush hour, I’d recommend taking a couple trains instead

[weis21]

We are set to arrive at 11:23 am

[SouthSideRyan]

Take the Uber, shouldn’t be a surge at that point and you’ll get door to door rather than having to take a walk after switching trains or riding the bus (don’t take the bus)

[Omar]

how would you even take a bus from O'Hare to the Loop?

[UMFan83]

Apparently the Ricketts family quietly cancelled their panel that they do every year.

[Brian]

I don't listen or pay attention to the sports radio guys, will these guys ask any real questions?

They will ask real questions but will be accepting of fluff answers

Blue line to loop to bus

Like the normal Chicago press corps hoping for another opportunity for an interview. Cowards.

Cowards

[Brian]

I guess he's also doing The Kapman tomorrow too

that should be hard hitting

[Banedon]

This would be the expectation setting media tour.

[Tim]

Now I'm kind of thinking about going to the convention so I can boo.
