One down, more to go

Thursday, Feb 15

Good news: Mikaela Shiffin finally made her 2018 Winter Games debut. Better news: She won the gold in the giant slalom: "It's an incredible feeling to know my best effort is good enough." Even better news: 4 more events to go and she's reallllllly good at skiing. Also last night/this morning/sometime: Pairs skaters Alexa Scimeca-Knierim and Chris Knierim became the 1st Americans to land a quad twist, NBC commentator Bode Miller said something not smart and the U.S. women fell to Canada in a meaningless and meaningful hockey game. Tonight on NBC primetime: Utah Jazz fan Nathan Chen begins his quest for gold in the men's short program.

'Need for change'

Before leaving Cubs spring training for Florida, Anthony Rizzo tweeted "our country is in desperate need for change" after yesterday's school shooting (of which Rizzo is an alum). Said Kris Bryant: "Scary, sad situation."

Day 2

Today at Cubs camp: Yu Darvish threw a bullpen session. And there was much rejoicing. Also: Joe Maddon talked about David Ross (it's the law), Brian Duensing isn't "antsy" and Justin Grimm did a handstand (sure).

Growing pains

Michael Kopech could learn a thing or two from veteran James Shields, says Paul Sullivan. Wait wait, come back. Shields could learn from the prospect too. As for Carlos Rodon, he's happy to be healthy for once.

And ... scene

The Raptors swept the season series from the Bulls for the 1st time since the 2001-02 season. And with that, the Bulls enter the All-Star break at 20-37. Tanks! No break for Kris Dunn … he's a Rising Star, you know.

Musical chairs

Jeff Glass down. Jean-Francois Berube up. Corey Crawford somewhere. It's a fun game of "Where in the World are the Hawks goalies?" Someone, we assume, will be in goal tonight vs. the Ducks (7:30 p.m., NBCSCH).
