News Chicago
The latest episode of the Second City Suffering Report, a daily podcast about Chicago sports fandom, is out: “The Best Player in Baseball Is a Cub.” Here is how the 8-minute episode, released Nov. 13, sums up the day:
Pete Crow-Armstrong wins the NL MVP unanimously — all 30 first-place votes — while the Blackhawks end a six-game slide and the Bulls lose their rookie’s right hand for at least three weeks.
The show rates the day 5 out of 10 on its “Suffering Index.”
