It was exhausting for me. Even though he manned the grill, it was up to me to have the house spic and span, make sure the gardens were up to snuff, do the shopping, prep the ingredients, arrange for enough seating, organize the various beverage, appetizer, salad and dessert tables with proper supplies and table coverings, make sure there were enough cutlery and dishes, etc.
“It’s such a fine art, a fine edge, when you’re hitting good, pitching good,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “That’s what you have coaches for to tweak you back to where everything is together. It happens. That’s why (they’re) men, not machines.
They got it behind another steady outing from right-hander Kyle Hendricks and an offense that finally stepped up in a 7-1 victory against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.

Authorities said least eight people were injured and at least 225 structures were damaged, many severely, from a tornado that tore through Naperville, Woodridge and Darien late Sunday. Meteorologists said the damage was consistent with an EF-3 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning it had wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. “We suspect it was one tornado,” said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We don’t know that for certain, but based on the nature of the information and what we know about the character of this event, that’s what we’re leaning toward.”The weather service said it was the first significant tornado to hit the Chicago metropolitan area since 2015, when an EF-3 tornado ravaged Coal City, about 60 miles southwest of the city.On the ground, signs of the tornado’s might were everywhere. A fence post was driven through a roof like a javelin. A backyard trampoline, metal frame and all, was wrapped around the branches of a tall tree. One car was flipped on its roof, while another nearby was so damaged it looked as though it had been bombed.The tornado sirens began blaring in DuPage County at 10:48 p.m. Sunday, according to Woodridge police. The National Weather Service said emergency alerts also screeched on mobile devices in Naperville, Darien and Woodridge, with the goal of waking any sleepers.When the tornado formed, it first hit Naperville about 11:10 p.m., in the area just south of 75th Street and Ranchview Drive in the southeast section of the town, according to Linda LaCloche, spokeswoman for the Naperville city manager’s office. Sixteen homes were deemed uninhabitable by city engineers, she said.At least 125 damage reports came from Naperville alone, Schultz said.
“Collectively as a team, we’re not really stroking the ball really well right now, so that has a lot to do with who we’re facing, and these guys, we are banged up a little bit, like Javy missed some time,” Ross said. “Trying to get back in that rhythm off really good pitching takes a minute, but these guys put in a lot of work, and you’re seeing some positives in moments.”

“We’re collecting all sorts of information from radar data, to pictures, to even, sometimes, we get personal accounts from people,” Lincoln said. “They tell us about what they saw, how it behaved, how long it took, and we’re collecting all of that information, putting it in one place, and then we’re kind of doing an investigation, basically. Trying to look at all the factors together and coming to a conclusion from that.”
Soon after, about 4 a.m., a car pulled up on the street in front of the house and turned off its lights. Two individuals got out of the car and walked up to the garage, but after two people from the house confronted them, they ran back to the car, where one of them fired a gun at the woman, striking a neighbor’s shed behind her, prosecutors said.
