Bad News for Peoria? - Bye, Bye Peoria Chiefs?

[BeBrave]

Have they tried calling the Houston Astros? Heyooo!

Sorry, but baseball is bbbbbboring, I went to one Chief's game this summer. Fireworks were promoted after the game. I got so bored that my wife and I left after the fifth inning. There were at least three errors committed by both teams by the fifth inning. Most entertaining was watch some of the fans over-indulge in overpriced beer and bad food.

What do you expect watching Chicago Cubs Low A baseball?


No way a team doesn't fill the void at such a nice stadium.

Hasn't it flipped multiple times between Cards and Cubs...expect the cardinals back

Don't knock baseball. It's NOT boring.

Cardinals deal with QC is up after this season. I would assume that is the first call being made.

Cardinals aren't going anywhere. Look for the A's or KC Royals.

You didn't like the dancing corn
I'd gladly exchange my memory of hearing and watching a Chief break his leg sliding into home

I still enjoy watching baseball, outdoors on a summer day enough to take the family to a few games.
It is surprising watching those kids commit errors when you realize they were the stars of their HS and/or college teams...you do get used to the high quality play in the majors. I remember Nomar's rehab appearance. Earlier in the game, the Chiefs SS committed an E on a ground ball. When Nomar got into the game, the same hit came his way, and he fielded it cleanly.

undoubtedly this bums out a lot of Central IL Cubs fans but it is a natural fit and just about any other team association would not have been any better

I am a Cubs fan but this does not bum me out at all. This is tremendous news for Peoria and the Chiefs organization. Other cities like Bloomington and Joliet are dying for affiliated baseball. The Cards coming back was the best case scenario for keeping MiLB in Peoria.

As a Cubs fan, I'm with you in this regard. What's most important is the health of the organization; and if it can't be the Cubs, the Cardinals need to be in Peoria. When the Cardinals were here before, I went to as many Chiefs games as I did while they were a Cubs affiliate (both times).

What this will guarantee is more sleeveless shirts, jean shorts, mullets, goatees, and tribal arm-band tattoos at Chiefs Stadium.

Exactly.... With the sleeves cut off and tucked into jean shorts.

Exactly.... With the sleeves cut off and tucked into jean shorts.

I believe the word is "Jorts"....

Quad Cities did a World Series replica ring giveaway that would have been cool. I have some friends that went to some of the games and they have like 6. They were really nice!
