Roller derby librarians feels like the most Milwaukee thing ever. Incredible www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMkWcQ3t/

Standing room only for the Broadview, IL village board meeting this evening. Like it’s 2022 again — follow along, yes?

At this point I’m just rooting for any player over 40.

On this day in 1945, bar owner William Sianis bought tix to the WS for himself and Murphy, his pet goat. Sianis became so upset when the Wrigley Field ushers asked his guest to leave, he placed a curse on the Cubs, claiming they’d never win a WS again. Here’s my painting of the ol’ place.

Let’s talk about why this piece on Diego Pavia and what it means to play sports in New Mexico by the incomparable @chuckculpepper.bsky.social is so awesome. ⬇️

If you're in Chicago, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture has a new exhibit on baseball! Called Pleibol!, it's a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian. Free to visit! nmprac.org/exhibitions/...

I feel like the fact I know a half-dozen women I thought “oh she needs to read this” means I’m doing something right with my life. ⚾️🧹🐈‍⬛🎵

Well I had no plans to listen to the new album (you know the one) but apparently she samples my favorite Pixies song so …

Game 1 of the NLDS between Cubs-Brewers is Saturday at 1:08 p.m. in Milwaukee on TBS. Game 2 is Monday at 8:08 p.m.

A couple Cubs win-or-go-home stats before Game 3 against the Padres: *Cubs are 0-3 at Wrigley in postseason winner-takes-all games *They are 4-4 overall in such games with their last win coming in 2017 NLDS at Washington *Cubs’ 46-24 record after loss this year is best in MLB, incl 23-6 at Wrigley

“Fully krausened mosh pit” is a phrase that could only be written by @pwsullivan.bsky.social. My PhD in English barely prepares me to fully analyze the complexities of its old style sportswriting perfection. @pulhitzherprize.bsky.social

This piece contains the incredible line: “(Kelly) smoked another home run to left, giving the Cubs the lead and turning Wrigley into a fully krausened mosh pit.” @pwsullivan.bsky.social out here teaching us new words.

Is Garrett Crochet doing the tight cuffing on his pants? That is a patented 1990 middle school girl move. Impressed.

Happy postseason! The bunting is in place, and @pulhitzherprize.bsky.social and I are ready for October.

Dasha, 8, and her little brother were playing w/ the water at the Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park when fed agents approached their parents on Sunday afternoon.  The family is now detained at O’Hare w/ other mothers/children awaiting deportation. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/29/i...

Enjoyed our first visit to the newly reopened WPA-era Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Lincoln Park. What a sweet retreat in the middle of the city. Even stumbled upon a very small, very quick wedding ceremony and stopped to cheer for the grooms before we continued on the trail.

As an editor, I try to bring Ember’s energy for my writers.

Want to know what life is like in our house? We got home from one baseball game and wrote up “game notes” for my BFF who is going to a baseball game two time zones away tomorrow. Game notes included references to two dogs, Japanese skincare and Freddie Freeman’s ankle. cc: @buckweaver.bsky.social

Photos from the first inning Dansby-in-the-net play at Wrigley Field tonight. Despite Dansby’s efforts and foul pop catch to get the batter out, the run scored because the ball was deemed out of play (fielder had both feet off the field) so the runners, including the one on third, advanced a base.

This is the second time this series and 63rd time in their careers that identical twins Tyler and Taylor Rogers have pitched in the same game It will NEVER stop being incredibly cool Baseball is the BEST

Hispanic Heritage Night at the Friendly Confines. A festive atmosphere tonight.

Ohtani just hit one into the Pool in Arizona, he already visited McCovey Cove and the Kauffman Stadium fountain this year We just need an Allegheny homer in Pittsburgh for a Water Cycle

Watch any NFL game, and women are everywhere. During these broadcasts, however, women are introduced in a way that comes across as merely complementary. That is until, Colts owner & CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon fills the screen. Click below for gift article 🎁 free for you ;) wapo.st/3IEy97P

The Golden Knights asked me to leave their practice facility and revoked my credential because I asked one of their players about the Hockey Canada 5. Their sensitivity underscores the dicey nature of the decision VGK and Carolina are facing. My story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Congrats to my friends who are Mariners fans!

Really proud of our video squad for the latest edition of The Experience, which went to @newmexicoutd.bsky.social and met with the incredible array of fans that make up The Lab. The Curse, Galactic Ambassadors, Black Diamonds, Sektor 114, La Maldición, check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDoB...

Hey look, it’s @valcapone.bsky.social at The Weiner Circle today!

Crossing platforms but I had to share this perfect introduction of Kelsie Whitmore to the Savannah Bananas www.facebook.com/share/r/1DJf...

Tribune visual journalist Stacey Wescott has been making pictures in and around Chicago for 26 years. On Friday, she documented former Marine Curtis Evans carrying an American flag amid a cloud of gas in the middle of a confrontation outside of an ICE facility. Here's how she captured that shot.

Good piece on Diego Pavia (and Jerry Kill) but it makes me wonder if Pat Forde has ever set foot in Las Cruces? 🤔

Rocking out with @thebaseballproject.bsky.social and a bunch of SABR friends at Thalia Hall.

Always read Paul Sullivan. (I’m lucky I get to do so first!) Plus check out some historic photos I found …

Pop the champagne bottles: The Chicago Cubs are heading to the postseason. The Cubs clinched a playoff spot with their 8-4 win against the Pirates. It’s their first postseason berth since the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and first in a full season since 2018. 📝 @mmontemurro.bsky.social

Wife guys 🙌

The photos in this story from @staceywescott.bsky.social are incredible journalism. The Tribune is very fortunate to have such a talented, veteran photo staff.

So guess whose first concert was the Cruces show mentioned below? The Ramones opened.

Confused about why you’ve been sneezing so much? Why there are so many bees and yellowjackets outdoors? Climate change is making pollen season last longer, worsening allergies and altering pollinators. For @chicagotribune.com:

This was a fun edit to work on. As I told the writer, who is very knowledgable on the subject, the last time I followed wrestling was when Ultimate Warrior was the new guy. So the writer had to explain a few things so I could edit. 😆

44 things about #44: Chicago Cubs fans didn’t get to say goodbye to Anthony Rizzo when he was traded to the New York Yankees in 2021. After announcing the end of his MLB career Wednesday, however, Rizzo showed his heart remains on the North Side www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/11/4...

Former Chicago Tribune photo intern:

Anthony Rizzo will retire as a Chicago Cub and join the organization as a team ambassador. "Rizz was everybody's go-to guy — on the field, in the clubhouse and in the community — and he never let us down," Theo Epstein told @pwsullivan.bsky.social.

Dying to read 10K words from someone knowledgeable about Caleb’s nail polish choices.

When Courtney Vandersloot thinks about basketball, she thinks about her mom. Basketball has always been the driving purpose in Vandersloot’s life. But after her mother’s diagnosis in 2022, life shifted around two new goals. The first was fighting for more time. The second is finding a cure.

It says something about my interests when I read Blake Treinen as Blake Tretinoin every single time.

I adore Australian punters
