Matt Reynolds and his wife, Laura, entertained Chicagoland friends at their new Nashville, Tenn., home during the weekend.

Sunday’s portion of the gathering proved to be an extension of what Bears coach Lovie Smith called “Soldier Field South” after his team drubbed the Tennessee Titans at Nashville’s LP Field.

“House stuff” and couch time already were heavy in Reynolds’ itinerary since the Colorado Rockies’ season ended last month. The left-handed reliever and St. Charles East alumnus still plans a few weeks of weaning himself from baseball before throwing again.
