Somehow the Cubs are still winning, so we got together to talk a bit about the frustrating slumps and silly losses in between the fact that the Cubs continue to stay near the top of the standings. We discuss the stupid injury luck, poor yet strangely effective bullpen performances, the rotation depth, and some bonus talk about the awesomeness that …
Weekend Fun Fact
From Kamka: And now we wait out this rain delay to see if they do some more!

Just felt this deserved its own post.
