The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ want to hear your stories as we report on Chicagoans 25 years after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Here's how to submit. https://t.co/T5nMRlKxBJ

This summer marks 20 years of concerts at Wrigley Field. I chatted with the Cubs organization, Ald Lawson and members of Fall Out Boy, the Heartbreakers and Naked Raygun to commemorate the occasion. https://t.co/C7GT2KuDlS

@jon_greenberg Perfect and ironic if you caught the lyrics, which were easy to miss -- unless you had closed captioning on. "Defeat 'em and mistreat 'em, so what if that I'm cheating. / Now everybody wanna sound grimey (Yeah, I know)"

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

What are you thankful for this year?

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

Typical #Chicagoweather . Catch a break in the rain, don sunglasses to walk two blocks for a 🌭 at Byron‘s, 😎 and three minutes later walk out and it’s pouring. ☔️

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

Yes, you can find a spot to watch the #chicagobears and #Chicagomarathon at the same time: Good Times Brewery in Lake View.

Chicago’s #northernlights hunters are out tonight but not much to see here at Waveland.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

I once saw Sammy Sosa do this in batting practice. No idea what aids might’ve been involved. 😁 #chicagocubs

Heliot Ramos ties it up in the 9th with a splash hit!

It's the first splash hit EVER by a right-handed hitter 🤯

After seven innings…

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

These fans are off to a strong start at #WrigleyField for their #Cubs and #Whitesox adventure today. It’s Cubs-Giants this afternoon on the North Side and White Sox-Astros tonight on the South Side. #mlb

I was seated near @BleacherJeff and was but a foot soldier in his army. I was obliterated in the great waves the 🏄s did in Jack Murphy in ‘84, so it brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my flesh when I recall last night’s heroics. #nowaveatwrigley #cubs

[Bleacher Jeff @BleacherJeff]

We also shut down 2 waves from RF and and the LF corner grandstand.

You're welcome america.

@ScanBerkeley @SFBART @abc7newsbayarea @nbcbayarea @KTVU @Uber Completely packed @rideact Transbay bus for those of us lucky enough to not take BART today.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@RideACTAlerts @HolstromKatie It arrived at 7:35.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@RideACTAlerts @HolstromKatie Do you have an ETA for San Pablo and Gilman? It was due here more than 10 minutes ago.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@RideACTAlerts @HolstromKatie Same question. I'm at San Pablo and Gilman.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@obvious_shirts Yes! As a kid, seeing those stars in their usual uniforms was part of the appeal of watching the game. That specific team was part of their identity.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@TheBlogfines Because he’s going to opt out and cash in?

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@BCB_Sara Remarkable tools. I want to see him when he’s ready — when his K rate is down. Situation reminds me of Happ, whose contact was unacceptable his first few yrs. He probably was rushed. Morel is one of my favorite Cubs. I pay to watch him, but not at a 30%+ K rate.

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@frankthecubfan @tim_stebbins @MLBastian Mike Schmidt’s third HR in his four-homer game at Wrigley reached that section. https://t.co/C9D3AQOq0w

[Ari Soglin @asoglin]

@BleacherNation Good move. Needs to make contact much more consistently. He can work on that playing every day in AAA.
