## Resource

Chicago baseball is heating up as the White Sox lead the AL Central and the Cubs soar into the top wild card spot—despite injuries and front office scrutiny. Manager Craig Counsell’s crew has kept the Cubs competitive, but a reporter’s accidental social media slip-up sparked fan frenzy over rumored tensions with leadership. The cryptic “twinkle dee and twinkle dum” comment has fans pointing fingers at Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins for last year’s cautious trade deadline moves. With the August 3 deadline looming, pressure mounts for bold moves—or more backlash. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
