Good morning. 73 and partly cloudy at first pitch at Wrigley. Get in the door for 2 Wiener schnitzel dinners & 2 bowls of goulash from Chicago’s iconic Laschet’s Inn; bleachers for 4 Wiener schnitzel dinners; all you can eat/drink seats for 14 Wiener schnitzel dinners. Eat local.
Have seen MULTIPLE fantasy football scoring formats the last few days that reward more than 4 points for a 40+ yard field goal. You people created a society that gives more fantasy points for a borderline chip-shot field goal than a passing touchdown. I am outraged. Be ashamed.
Drew Pomeranz becomes the 16th Cubs pitcher to get a win. Jacob Webb is now tied with Daniel Palencia for the team lead in saves with 3. The Cubs are, somehow, 10 games above .500.

Round 1: Christian McCaffrey
Round 2: Justin Herbert
Round 3: Jaxson Dart
Round 4: Ladd McConkey
Round 5: Cam Skattebo
Round 6: Tucker Kraft
Round 7: Alec Pierce
Round 8: Ricky Pearsall
Round 9: Isaac TeSlaa
Round 10: Eli Heidenreich
