We have three different goalscorers today. Also, on the field right now, we have three Spanish World Cup winners, which is more than Real Madrid will likely have at any point all season. #Arsenal

This is a classic Chicago baseball game. The oldest rivalry in the game and a long rain delay that rinsed Wrigley of fans who had to get back to Winnetka (where my grandmother was from).

The Cubs are the most loathsome team, in any sport, on the planet. I can't understand how any reasonable person would think otherwise.

I remember watching this live — what I believe is the only 8-5 triple play in MLB history — made possible by the bad baserunning of Yoán Moncada and, to a lesser extent, Adam Engel. I hope at least it hastened the end of La Russa's second tenure as our manager: youtu.be/ZHKeRZDB1rM?...

In 1894, my Norwegian grandfather was born in a village in what today is Bodø Municipality, above the Arctic Circle. Norway has four players — Berg, Schjelderup, Hauge, and Bjørkan — from Bodø, a city of about 50,000 people. Wearing my 1994 Norway jersey with pride today. Let's go, Norway!
