Unincorporated Orland homeowners blast mayor’s annexation move
Unincorporated Orland homeowners blast mayor’s annexation move. Residents of Unincorporated Orland Township blast Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau for trying to grab their lands and violate their rights. Residents say Mayor Pekau failed to properly notify them of his plans that began quietly in 2022 and continued to 2023 before residents could address the board at meetings August 19, 2024. The village asserts there is a Memorandum of Understanding, that most residents have not seen. Pekau’s assertions he “must act” before Oak Forest and Palos annex area is fantasy. Homeowners say they are concerned about Orland’s increased taxes and fees, failure to file financial audits, and Pekau’s constant bullying of residents who question his actions.
A Patriots-Bears trade to give Drake Maye a chance to do his job
Two things were made clear about the New England Patriots throughout the preseason and, particularly, in the team's preseason finale on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. First, rookie third-overall pick Drake Maye should be the starter come Week 1 over Jacoby Brissett. But second, to make that viable, the Patriots direly need to get help on the offensive line.
White Sox make history with 100th loss
The Chicago White Sox lost again on Sunday, dropping a 9-4 decision to the Detroit Tigers. It is already the 100th time this season that the White Sox have been on the losing end of a game, dropping their record to an almost impossibly bad 31-100. They are not only the worst team in baseball by a substantial margin, but they also joined a rather infamous club by losing their 100th game so quickly. They are just the fourth team in MLB history to ever lose 100 games before the start of September, which is still a week away at this point. The...

Ump show: Patrick Wisdom got ejected without saying a word like a silent movie
Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom hasn't reached base often this season, so when he's denied an opportunity, you can be he takes note. Wisdom is flirting with the Mendoza line this season, and despite multiple efforts to tweak his swing, there's not much else the Cubs can do other than hope (or in Craig Counsell's case, pray) that he can chip in for an impressive September.
Former Chicago Cubs' free-agent bust takes shot at failed 2024 goals
The Chicago Cubs victory over the Miami Marlins on Saturday brought the team back to the .500 mark on the season for the first time since the opening week of June. It's not exactly where the Cubs were hoping they would be in the second half of Craig Counsell's first season.

Entering play on Sunday, the Brewers hold a 10.5-game lead over the Cubs for first place in the division.
