With NFL expansion talks beginning, Mayor Chance the Rapper promotes the idea of a second football team in Chicago, which could play at Wrigley Field, the former home of the Bears. The McCaskeys use their clout to prevent the NFL from granting an expansion franchise in Chicago, furthering their divide with the city. Meanwhile, the Chicago city council votes to change the name of the Midway Plaisance Park to the DuSable Midway Plaisance Park, forcing the Bears to officially change their nickname to “Monsters of the DuSable Midway.”
The roots of the red twig dogwood are fibrous, which makes transplanting relatively easy and can help stabilize banks. It will be best to wait until this fall to move your shrub, as many plants are under stress now due to the heat and dry conditions. The shrub is small enough to transplant now, if it was in more of an emergency situation, such as moving it out of the way of construction. Water the shrub thoroughly a couple days before moving it, should you decide to relocate it soon.
The Union’s Jakob Glesnes opened the scoring in the second minute with an own goal in an attempt to clear Miguel Ángel Navarro’s cross, giving the Fire a 1-0 lead. Quinn Sullivan tied it at 1 for the Union (5-2-4) with a bicycle kick in the 28th minute. It was the 17-year-old’s first MLS goal.
Jason Heyward appeared to put the Cubs ahead in the seventh when he bested Dodgers lefty Garrett Cleavinger for a solo homer that snuck inside the left-field foul pole. The third-base umpire immediately signaled a home run, but after a conference among the umps it was ruled a foul ball on the field. Cubs manager David Ross challenged the decision, but the call stood after a 1 minute, 50 second replay review to keep the game tied 2-2.

One of the friends was driving his vehicle eastbound on North Avenue, just east of Spaulding Avenue, when several people started walking around his vehicle, prosecutors said. Ayala was one of those people, and he began throwing up gang signs and shouting at them, asking where they were from, prosecutors said.
No matter what happens Sunday, the Sox’s slump is further evidence general manager Rick Hahn needs to make some moves, and the sooner, the better. The needs are many, including a center fielder, right fielder and second baseman to replaced injured starters, a designated hitter to replace Yermin Mercedes and two or three right-handed middle relievers to pick up the slack for the struggling threesome of Matt Foster, Evan Marshall and Codi Heuer.
“I’m pretty calm sitting down and watching the way we play and what’s going on and thinking about little things that maybe we can do better or what we were doing good to keep going,” Ducharme said. “After the period, the coaches give me a call, and we just talk for a minute or two just like we do every time we go back to the office.”
