Jared Wyllys of CHGO joined WGN News Now's "9 Good Minutes" to discuss the Cubs & White Sox as they start the month of June.CHICAGO — Many consider Memorial Day or the end of May as the first place to take a look at the progress of a Major League Baseball team. Many Cubs and White Sox fans are doing that right now, and to be frank, it could be a little bit rough. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)For those on the south side, the disappointment is much greater than those on the north considering the pressure on that group in 2023. With perhaps their current era in the balance, the White Sox were 8-21 at the end of April and were only able to pick up one game in May (15-14). Key starting pitchers Dylan Cease (3-3, 4.88 ERA) and Lance Lynn (4-6, 6.55 ERA) have not been able to find their groove while the lineup has once again dealt with a fair amount of injury. Only a mediocre division has kept the White Sox in a postseason conversation as their 23-35 record has them 7 1/2 games b...

Editor’s Note: The video above shows KXAN News Today’s top headlines for June 2, 2023.AUSTIN (KXAN) — A bill passed by Texas lawmakers to make police records less secret appears to have gone missing itself. The unusual way it has stalled before being sent to Gov. Greg Abbott for review has many of the main players involved keeping quiet and KXAN digging into a winding legislative timeline that threatens to derail policy years in the making.Nearly a week after a final version of House Bill 30 was approved overwhelmingly in both the House and Senate, listed as enrolled online and signed by Speaker Dade Phelan, Lt.

This step is a legal requirement in the Texas Constitution before going to the governor to sign or veto.As unfinished business from the regular session’s final days spilled into a special session with high-profile divisions among those three Republican leaders on other issues, questions are now swarmi...
