It’s flu season, and it’s important to know the symptoms — fever, sore throat, headache, muscle ache, fatigue and an aversion to the media.
OK, I made up the media part. But I couldn’t help but think that the mere idea of we pesky reporters asking questions added to the flu Kris Bryant came down with on the first day of the Cubs Convention. The third baseman was a no-show Friday for the Media Social – such a nice, genteel name for a press conference. I don’t want to admit to being skeptical about Bryant’s illness because that’s beneath me, but if he could provide a doctor’s note at his earliest convenience, that would be great.
