Summer is in full force and with Chicago announcing full capacity seating, thoughts and prayers to a street full of bars near a ballpark. The Cubs avoided the sweep of the Giants but swept the Padres last week. We talk about trade deadline acquisitions and the upcoming schedule for the Cubs. The bleachers on the South Side are WILD so far this year and paired with the White Sox new City Connect uniform means vibes honestly might be at an all-time high if you're a Sox fan. The Bears *announced* Andy Dalton is the Week 1 starter according to ProFootballTalk but does it really mean Dalton is the Week 1 Starter? That and a few more Bears tidbits. As always, tell us what's cool and tough, lame and weak, and in your shadow realm this week on Twitter at @skyisfallingpod and on Instagram @theskyisfallingpod. We're also proud to be partnered with Bet Rivers Sportsbook! Illinois bettors can use promo code ONTAP at registration to receive a first deposit match up to $250.
