Inside Slant

A good first impression

Wednesday, Apr 18

Welcome to the Matt Nagy era! Everything is great! The Bears are going to the Super Bowl! Oh fine, this is probably just a case of recency bias — but the new coach's authenticity was a quick hit at Halas Hall coming off a John Fox era filled with secrecy. "The goal for today's practice was to exit the session with confidence," Nagy said after the team's first day of voluntary minicamp (held inside, because weather). Still, Steve Rosenbloom wishes the coach would have made a playoff guarantee on Day 1. Baby steps. Speaking of … Kevin White was back on the practice field to begin his 3rd comeback attempt from a major injury. Whoo boy.

Cardinals 5, Cubs 3

Another subpar starting effort led to another subpar result at Wrigley last night: "I don't think we've played our best baseball by any stretch." At least Anthony Rizzo returned — followed by Ben Zobrist exiting. Le sigh.

Weather 5, Cubs 0

Another day, another postponement — today was the 5th of the Cubs' season (the game was rescheduled for tomorrow). We don't have anything else pithy to say about this blah weather, so here's a video of Jed Hoyer.

See you soon?

The minor-league White Sox aren't wasting any time: Micker Adolfo's slash line is looking mighty fine. Yesterday: The major-league White Sox lost (albeit in some sweet retro unis). Today: In progress in Oakland.

Memories ... 

A year ago today, the Bulls took a 2-0 playoff lead on the Celtics. And today? Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade are all thriving on other playoff teams. Miss you 2017 (we're sure it was warmer then too).

'Eat, drink and Be Murray'

With 237 seats, 31 TVs, paper straws and the aesthetic of "our living room," the brothers Murray opened their Caddyshack restaurant in Rosemont yesterday. Of course, there's Cubs memorabilia galore too.
