With the conclusion of Cubs Con and Winter Warm-Up, Ron, Elliott, and Pete get together again for a post-conventions review. Are they feeling any more optimistic now that the annual feel-good gatherings have taken place? Does the ZIPS projection for the Cardinals make Ron feel better? Elliott feel worse? They also speculate about how the upcoming rules changes will affect the game, and Ron lights into Pete for his hardheadedness regarding Disney Star Wars.

Ron, Elliott, and Pete kick off the New Year by catching up on the Cubs' free agent activity since our last epsiode. Do they take this seriously, and does Elliott feel better since his mid-December rant? The Cardinals addressed their biggest need (catcher), but then stopped. Are they working on something else? Hopefully it's starting pitching, but most likely they are "comfortable with who we have." Same BS, different year.
