Pitchers and catchers officially report today, and Chicago Cubs fans have reasons to be excited. PECOTA projects the Cubs to win 90 games and take the NL Central with ease over the Brewers. Meanwhile, the Art Institute of Chicago just added its first-ever Norman Rockwell painting—and it’s a Cubs piece.
On the basketball side… a friendly reminder:
We want the Bulls to lose every remaining game this season. You know why.
We’ve also got another 312 Sports Olympic Update; plus, a documentary recommendation you shouldn’t miss: Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man.
