Watch out

Friday, Apr 20

Deep thoughts from Bears coach Matt Nagy: "You can't go 2-0 without going 1-0." Whoa. That's easier said than done in 2018 for the Bears, who open on the road (in prime time) vs. the Packers and then play at home (in prime time) vs. the Seahawks. Our Bears experts look at trends from Week 1 to Week 17 — and, because we're very mean, they predicted the overall W-L record for the season. Spoiler: No one said 16-0. Elsewhere in the speculation department, might the Bears use the No. 8 pick on a defensive player? If so, this draft offers GM Ryan Pace quite a selection. And if so, these are the agents he'll likely have to deal with (choose wisely).

Off-day moves

The White Sox traded Tyler Saladino to the Brewers for cash, then used that cash to bring back Trayce Thompson from the A's. Sneaky Rick Hahn! Tonight: The world champs are in town (7:10 p.m., NBCSCH).

R-e-l-a-x

The Cubs bullpen is stressed out. Jon Lester did his starting job well yesterday, but then Eddie Butler didn't do his relieving job well. This all might be moot considering the forecast in Denver is … blah (7:40 p.m., WGN).

Attention to detail

Save for a few tweaks to Joe Maddon's dugout, renovations at Wrigley are moving right along. Yesterday: The Cubs gave the baseball a nice tour of the whole field, spraying 14 hits in an 8-5 win over the Cardinals.

Welcome home

Barack Obama is now an honorary member at Beverly Country Club on Chicago's South Side. It's been called "the United Nations" of golf clubs, so he'll fit right in. A fun note: the former President requested locker No. 44.

Let's make a deal

It's been almost 3 weeks since Loyola's NCAA tournament run ended, and coach Porter Moser is still contract extension-less. Sister Jean, please help. Over at DePaul, well, it's a work in progress (going on a few years now).
