“I am so thrilled to be joining the Fire at such an important inflection point in the cub’s history,” Glassman Chrein said in a statement. “I’m fortunate to join a team where the owner loves Chicago, cares deeply about the players and staff, and is fully invested in building a successful team on and off the pitch. I’m looking forward to getting started and meeting everyone involved with the club, especially the fans.”

“Any person that comes in to see me for rectal bleeding or other things like change of bowel habits or increased shortness of breath or anemia, anything like that I’m paying attention to,” she said. “I’m seeing these really young people coming in with very advanced cancer because either the patient blew off (symptoms) or the provider blew it off because they’re like, ‘Oh they’re so young.

In 2016, Michael Ferro, a tech entrepreneur and former owner of the Chicago Sun-Times, became Tribune Publishing’s largest shareholder and nonexecutive chairman.

Sabathia: He’s just so out of touch with the game, and most people are, cuz. … He should not be managing one of the best teams in the American League, period!

If he’s gonna lob s–t over the plate, we gonna tee off. Put a ten-run rule up there, cuz! If y’all don’t wanna see people get embarassed and position players pitch and all that s–t, then make it a ten-run rule so the f–king game will be over and you don’t have these stupid-ass unwritten rules. Now, you have a rookie that’s been basically carrying your f–king team these first six weeks of the season … and now you have a don’t problem with the weird-ass Minnesota Twins throwing behind one of your biggest hitters? That’s just f–king stupid. It’s stupid. Period. I’m sorry. This s–t is terrible. He shouldn’t be f–king managing that team. If you not gonna step up and have your players’ backs, what’s the point of being the f–king manager of the White Sox? S–t is stupid as f–k. Sorry. I was so mad, cuz. I was re-pissed off yesterday when Duffy threw behind him. … Even the Twins getting mad! Cuz, play better! You guys f–king suck! You’re three games under f–king .500! You’re supposed to be the best team in the Central! You suck! Ruocco: They’re 12 games under .500. R2C2 Podcast
