Thompson, 51, who has served on the City Council since 2015, was charged in April in a seven-count indictment with filing false tax returns and lying to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. officials about $219,000 in loans and other payments he’d received from Washington Federal Bank for Savings before it was shuttered in 2017.

The project would come with a restructuring of a nearby track crossing, and early estimates put the total cost for both projects between $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion. Most of the money, which would likely include federal funding, would go toward the track restructuring, according to the presentation.

“In the first quarter, we had some jitters and we were moving a little too fast and weren’t in the right place or communicating,” Sky coach James Wade said. “We didn’t panic and by the time we got to the end of the first quarter, I thought we were executing the game plan at a better rate.”

Colliton said about Murphy and McCabe, who quickly have shown chemistry: “They’re both physical, hard to play against, defensive defensemen. They know their value to the team, they take pride in doing those things without the puck, defending and playing against top players. Not everyone wants to do it. Not everyone is satisfied with that role, even though it’s so important.”

I’m honestly a little stunned some have suggested Fields is a game manager. I wouldn’t look at him and his skill set and put him in that box. The Bears have to play to the strength of their roster, and as I’ve said previously, I think a lot of folks overrated their wide receivers after you get past Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney. Some people talked up the speed the Bears added at the position, but Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd have not been consistent performers throughout their careers. The same goes for Breshad Perriman, who has yet to be active. The Bears have issues on the offensive line, so if they lean more on their tight ends, they can help out the line, improve the running game and protect the quarterback. Fields hasn’t had to throw much the last two weeks — both wins. He attempted 17 passes against the Detroit Lions and 20 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He will develop with playing time and get better at everything. He has made strides in pure passing situations. Look at the third-and-12 throw he made across the middle of the field midway through the fourth quarter Sunday. It required patience and he had to throw a dart. He delivered.

The Brewers surged ahead again in the fifth, this time on Rowdy Tellez’s second two-run homer of the series. His first, back in the seventh inning of Game 1, had produced the Brewers’ only runs of the series until Tuesday. This one off Huascar Ynoa was a massive shot, plopping into the fountain beyond the center-field wall.

“You just kind of think through the season you had and then you look at the guys out on the field that are cheering in front of you, and I mean, for me, I wanted that feeling,” Rodón said. “That’s why I just sat there and watched, just for a little extra motivation and let that sit there for me.”

But in the end, the Sox went no farther than Renteria’s team. The AL’s best rotation faltered in the four-game series, combining for a 10.22 ERA. Kimbrel continued his struggles since arriving in a trade-deadline deal from the Cubs, and the Sox now face the dilemma of picking up his $16 million option and trading him or declining the option and letting him go for nothing. The Sox also have holes to fill in right field, at second base and in the rotation, though Michael Kopech is expected to move into Carlos Rodón’s starting role next year.

“No, there’s no way we were trying to hit Abreu. If you’re going to hit him, you’re going to hit him long before that. If there was a reason, (but) there was no reason to hit Abreu. He hasn’t done anything to us. … And Abreu has been hit 20-something times, and in modern baseball, guys don’t try to get out of the way of the ball. In my day, we hit the dirt or turned away from the ball. Today guys would be just standing there and taking it,
