Ron and Pete sit down for a bonus episode to discuss the Cubs' sweep of the Cardinals, which officially brings an end to St. Louis's season, in Ron's eyes.
Ron and Pete marvel at the Indians' 22-game winning streak, and the inability of ANY team to put away the NL Central. They discuss who's hot and who's not for the Cubs and Cards. Finally, they look ahead to the weekend's upcoming series at Wrigley Field and its importance to the division race. Plus, Ron announces another t-shirt giveaway!
Caught in a baseball Twilight Zone, Pete and Ron discuss the standings that don't seem to change, the Dodgers tripping up in recent play, the Cardinals curious acquisition of a relief pitcher, and why the Cubs refuse to pull away from this mess. The end of the podcast is a special bonus. Enjoy, Preciouses!
On this Force Friday — and in the face of overwhelming technical difficulties — Ron and Pete power through a discussion of the Mike Leake trade, a surprisingly busy waiver trade deadline, and the Cubs prospects in the postseason.
