The Cubs are back in business, winning Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday evening by a score of 3-2. We share our thoughts on the game. Now that the Cubs have sent the series back to Cleveland, we also look ahead to the last two games of the series.

Well, the Cubs dropped Game 3 of the 2016 World Series. It was the first World Series game at Wrigley in 71 years and although the wind was whipping out, Cleveland was able to beat the Cubs, 1-0.

On this episode, we share our thoughts on the game. We also play listener voicemail that we’ve received over the last few days.

The Cubs dropped the first game of the 2016 World Series to the Cleveland Indians. Indians pitching kept the Cubs guessing most of the game. Although the Cubs lost 6-0, there were some positives to take away from the loss.

Cubs fans all over the world are experiencing something for the first time. The Chicago Cubs are going to the World Series!

On this episode, we spend a lot of time talking through some of the emotions we are feeling, the morning after. This was one of the podcast episodes we’ve been waiting to record, but there’s an even bigger one out there, that could happen very soon.

We do eventually talk about the baseball side of Game 6 and we preview the 2016 World Series, and specifically Game 1.

The Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday night to come one game from the World Series. It was another evening of offensive production and an incredible performance by Jon Lester.

On this episode, we share our thoughts on Game 5, the series to the point, and Game 6.

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.

Well, the Cubs head to Los Angeles tied 1-1 in this NLCS with the Dodgers. In this episode, we talk about the first two games of the series. Corey was at Wrigley for both games and Kurt was there for Game 1. We share what we witnessed in the ballpark in these first few games.
