The biggest story of the Cubs’ 4-1 loss to the Padres Monday evening at Wrigley Field, their seventh straight defeat, wasn’t anything that happened during the game.
Instead, it was the severe thunderstorm that blew through the area in the early evening, delaying the game an hour and 25 minutes. Tornadoes were reported in parts of the Chicago area and if you live in the path of the storm, I hope you stayed safe. Tornado sirens went off near the ballpark, the first time I can remember that happening since 2008.
Those are in fact tornado sirens around Wrigley Field and not the start of the annual Purge.
