I’m visiting with some family today because we’re racing go karts – like, the pretty-darn-fast ones. We did it a couple years ago, and, to be quite honest, I kicked butt. So I’m feeling the pressure to repeat this year. It’s a ton of fun, but man, it also beats you up.
Even in the midst of a slump, David Bote and his "it factor" stepped up in a big moment. https://t.co/GxSFH5J8PH

Underrated part of Bote's postgame press conference. When asked him why he wasn't wearing the Bote Boards swag, he said he didn't want to get fined. Then leaned into the microphone and said, "I'm only here so I don't get fined."

Here's my concern with David Bote. A full 60% of his homers this year were NOT walk-off homers. And just ONE in the five was a 9th inning game-tying home run. I mean, 40% of his homers were just, like, *regular* home runs.
I'm not freaking out yet, but it's a concern.

After the Cubs game, Wilson Contreras signed an autograph for everybody single person as he exited the players parking lot. He is now my favorite Chicago Cub #wilsoncontreres @bleedcubbieblue @Cubs pic.twitter.com/u15oybE5BY
