Dear Upset: “Miffed Manager” complained about one worker who had the habit of announcing that she was leaving the office, with extremely short notice. In my response, I focused on the need of the employee to give proper notice, instead of the “permission” issue, and in that regard, I agree with you.
Ian Happ’s bases-loaded single in the fifth pulled the Cubs within two runs, but Max Scherzer struck out Willson Contreras and retired David Bote on a flyout to end his night.

It was the 12th no-hitter in Yankees history and the first since David Cone’s perfect game against the Montreal Expos on July 18, 1999. It was the fifth against the Rangers, who were also at home April 9 when San Diego native Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in Padres history.
These directives have come at a time when Brown and other CPD leaders have been under pressure from Lightfoot to find ways to combat big increases in city violence.

Rep. Robin Kelly of Matteson, who chairs the state’s Democratic Party, issued a statement critical of Bost, LaHood and Miller, saying they “cannot be taken seriously as representatives of the people of Illinois.

The Sky led by as many as 23 points, but the Dream trimmed it to 73-71 with 2:12 remaining. Astou Ndour scored the next five points to extend the Sky’s lead to seven, and Diamond DeShields, who was 3 of 11 from the field, sealed it with a baseline jumper with 35.9 seconds left.
Rizzo, who was out of the starting lineup Wednesday with lower back pain, is the only player left from the start of the Cubs rebuild in 2012. He has seen what it’s like going from the bottom to the top and then down again, and he hopes to keep the Cubs relevant before the July trade deadline, which could be a turning point in the direction of the franchise with Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Báez all in their walk years.
“I was horrified at what I saw,” Murillo said. “Against the backdrop of this year’s protests, the Black Lives Matter movement and the highly publicized murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and more, I was overcome with emotion at the image of a white man hovering over a Black teenager with his face on the ground here in my hometown. We, Oswego, can do better.”
“I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically,” Lightfoot wrote.
