In two senses.

If they were an animal, their necks on on the chopping block.

In economic terms, there are for sale.

The Chicago Tribune reports the Joliet JackHammers minor league baseball team is about to be sold.

Just to remind you that most of the current McHenry County College Board members were avid supporters of putting us district taxpayers in debt for 25 years to build a minor league baseball stadium.

There is an election next spring when one of them are up for re-election: George Lowe of Cary.

Appointed to fill out the term of Harvard’s Scott Summers was Bob DeWitt of Crystal Lake.

Any folks out there willing to run for the board?
