The batttle is lost. The games are coming to Chicago. The only thing that might mess the deal up is the TV contract.. But everybody is going to get well in the Windy City. This is the gravy train.

Don't these folks have some more important things to do like, oh maybe, SOLVE THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS...Just a suggestion.
