Ivy Envy - Chicago Cubs Fan Podcast (UNOFFICIAL)

This episode was recorded moments after the Cubs beat the Dodgers 10-2 in Game 4 of the 2016 NLCS. The mood of this episode is quite a bit different compared to the tone of last night’s post-game show. We celebrate the Cubs’ offense coming to life, including spectacular offensive performances by Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell.

We preview Game 5 and we will be doing another live post-game show right after that game on Thursday.

Well, this was not an easy episode to do. For the second game in a row, the Cubs had their offense shut down by Dodgers pitching, this time it was former-Cub, Rich Hill.

This episode is what you would expect from a Cubs podcast recorded moments after a playoff loss. There’s anger, frustration, and maybe just a little optimism. Consider this a group therapy session.
