For all those wondering, this is my large adult son Kyle. We share no blood but he is my life. He came from IU (in the draft, of course) six years ago and lives with me at Wrigley.

The Cubs are putting on a joke show this evening in a technical must-win game. But I feel super chill. When Kimbrel gave up the two homers on Saturday, that broke me. Didn’t even watch the bottom of the 9th. Just grabbed this lady and went out and had a great night.

There’s a decent chance that you - yes, you - made my year a little bit better in some way, directly or indirectly. You probably did that for a lot of people. And they probably did it for you.

Wonder how MLB feels about an owner engaging in such egregiously risky behavior. Wonder how Cubs players feel, given how hard they’ve stuck to the protocols. Wonder how Tommy Hottovy feels after he got so sick and shared that story with the organization.
Seems quite bad to me.
