“Just trying to manage right now because Pito (Abreu) is going to be out a few days, but we’re taking really, really, really good at-bats and we’re not missing the pitches that we need to hit,” Keuchel said. “That’s the bottom line. We’re just trying to turn the order over as much as we can. My job tonight was to go out there and get some outs. When you play like this, it’s about the most fun you can have.”

“There are many, many barriers that we cannot legislate our way out of that exist in obtaining that cooperation,” Kersten said. “Short of video evidence or other witnesses that are willing to come forward, if we don’t have that complainant’s version of events, we often have nothing with which to proceed on a case.”

“He’s got enough stats that will carry him throughout his life. I’m not worried about his career stats today. Today, we’re out to beat him,” Ross said. “I’ll have a beer with him at some point for sure. But today, we’ll try to keep him at 193 and wish him the best after today.”

Chicago Public Schools, the biggest school district in Illinois and third in the U.S. with 638 schools and 341,000 students, has already been planning for a mostly in-person fall. CEO Janice Jackson, who is leaving CPS in June, said earlier in May that CPS was “looking to the state … to get us back to normal from a schooling perspective where everyone is expected to go to school in a brick-and-mortar building every single day unless there are extenuating circumstances, medical circumstances, that prevent them from coming to school.”

The two officers had been working in the Lawndale neighborhood when they were dispatched to the ShotSpotter alert about 7:25 a.m., Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said Sunday. When they saw a man in a vacant lot near the location the alert indicated, they approached him and were immediately fired upon, Brown said.

“This was a year of evaluation, with some bright spots, some frustrations and some glimpses of things to get excited about in the future, especially at the end of the year,” vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas said. “I was mainly disappointed for our players and fans that we are not still playing, but we are looking forward to having honest conversations about our team and the challenges that lie ahead.”

“It shows his toughness,” Sox shortstop Tim Anderson said Monday. “He showed what kind of guy he is, what kind of teammate, what kind of player he is. To be able to go back out there after taking that type of hit, a great example, a great message to send to the rest of the team.”

“We’ve gotta make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far and masks I think are a big and important part of that,” the mayor said on cable news. “To say, well, if you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask, that’s great, but what about all the other people that are out there that aren’t vaccinated and there’s no way to know that? So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear a mask outside, outside their homes, and I think that’s smart.”

Pritzker’s order said businesses must ensure all visitors, including customers, who are not fully vaccinated can practice social distancing, “but if maintaining a six-foot social distance will not be possible at all times, encourage those visitors to wear face coverings.” The new rules take effect immediately.

“We put growth plans on hold as the pandemic became clear, but opportunities come up, and this one did — it’s a beautiful space and a great location,” he said. “For us to open a place at this point in time, it had to check a lot of boxes: location, physical space, demographics of the area, and our ability as artists to feel like we could bring something different to the party.”
