Gary Cohen wasn't sold on the way the Cubs and Matt Shaw handled his absence to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial.
"I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird."
For those of us who grew up in the 1980s, there were two teams who were always on.
The Braves (TBS) and the Cubs (WGN).
By default, Dale Murphy and Ryne Sandberg became part of our childhood.
A piece of all of us is lost now.

ABC EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
It’s to be used as Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump library by January 2029.
Perhaps the biggest foreign gift ever. DOJ insists it’s legal, not bribery, not violation of emoluments clause. w/ @KFaulders
Indy will come back strong. McConnell and Halliburton are not blaming the refs. They know they have to play better and probably will. They are such a fast team. Skilled and actually fun to watch.
It will be tough.
We need OG healthy.
The national media gives us no respect, in fact has antipathy towards us. Instead of telling the story of how this team has battled to second place in the conference after losing 3 starters most of the season and now, depleted and with a very small rotation, is winning against tough conference rivals and sending them home, they talk about how much they want us to lose and how we can’t last.
But. We know. We know who we are. And what we do. And it’s undeniable.
We have a special team. And that team is led by this person ⬇️.
I like our chances.
Trade compensation, per sources:

The mood in Ukraine….
Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov this week said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine.
As Russian troops neared Kyiv, I asked MP @GoncharenkoUa to comment.
He had a pretty clear one word answer…
“F*** you, Lavrov”.
House Democrats intend to send the impeachment resolution to the Senate next week. There will be no delay, a source involved w deliberations on this tells me.
The question now is whether McConnell will bring the Senate back early; the senate is now scheduled to be back on 1/19.
