Will eight be great?

Friday, Apr 20

It's almost crunch time, Bears. You don't have to tell us just yet, but do you know who you're picking on Thursday with the No. 8 pick in the 2018 NFL draft? In Brad Biggs' mock draft (2.0), he has the team selecting Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson. Other Bears writers have the team going for defense, with Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick or Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith. On the Bears podcast, every option is discussed. And David Haugh says fans will be happy as long as GM Ryan Pace stays put at No. 8 (no sneaky draft antics this year, please). As for us, we'll just be happy when the pick is in, because we can update our "every Bears' first-round draft pick since 1975." Now, back to the big board!

Not the face!

Yesterday's series finale in Denver certainly was eventful for the Cubs: Kris Bryant got plunked, Javier Baez set a screen and Albert Almora Jr. proved he could fly. What's the team doing today for an encore? They're off.

'He's in the fight of his life'

White Sox reliever Danny Farquhar is in stable but critical condition after surgery on Saturday. He's been hospitalized since Friday, when he suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm.

Swept away

The Astros swept the White Sox, outscoring them 27-2 in 3 games: "Struggling is going to happen." Indeed. But don't worry — Hawk Harrelson is still a believer. Tonight: Home vs. the Mariners (7:10 p.m., NBCSCH).

Who wore it best?

The Bulls aren't in the NBA playoffs (sorry to bring that up again), but at least their uniforms are always in the running for best dressed. So say our panel of experts, including the guy who knows a thing or do about redesigns.
