Last week, we recorded during a Chatwood (recurring) nightmare. This week, during a Cubs comeback win over the easily offended Pirates. Adam & Kevin talk "The Rizzo Slide," the #FreeAlmora movement, Montgomery as a starter, the starting rotation falling apart, and going to the Cubs games in Queens this week vs. the Mets. Come join us at Citi Field!

Full disclosure: we recorded this somewhere in the middle of Chatwood's six walks in 2.2 innings, so if we don't sound appropriately furious, that's why. We talk Machado rumors (last time for a while, we hope), the Cubs best lineup shaping up, Zobrist at leadoff, and what NL Central teams we're actually worried about, vs. who we're not sweating.

Kevin & Adam are both traveling, so this episode features talk about Machado (Do we want him? For how much?), the great Ichiro's semi-retirement inspires talk of favorite non-Cubs, and we do choose y our own adventure: if Cubs played well this week, go to minute 50 for us talking about that. If they didn't, go to minute 46 for that recap. WE'RE IN THE FUTURE (kind of). We'll be back fully live and in the moment next week with a new episode May 22.

Kevin & Adam talk depressing St. Louis series, how close bad play can be to good, how "walks" make you nuts, and they are a skill and not something that can just be wished away, being team no-boo, Chatwood as maddening to watch, and why it's okay to be grateful for 2016 but still want more RIGHT NOW.

So, the Cubs rotation is good, turns out. Real good. The offense decided to be bad for a week, but they've been good for the rest of the year, and they're on pace for 100 wins. Who knew, they might be okay.

Kevin & Adam talk about the insane Sunday game against the Rockies which -- upon further review -- the Cubs won. Yu Darvish's continued struggles, Javy as a superhero, and Clint Hurdle still sucks, just because.

Kevin & Adam talk about Rizzo's suggestion for a shorter season, the insane comeback against the Braves, Javy Baez vs. d-bag Clint Hurdle, and the "Javy Baez Cycle" and cycles for Cubs of the present and past.

1/16th of the way into the season & we're already frazzled. BP Wrigleyville's Ken Schultz joins 1 more time before moving back to Chicago, we talk: the great series in Milwaukee, the less fun home opener in Chicago proper & a big homestand coming up. We take listener questions via email & Ken has an Ian Happ theory.

The season is ACTUALLY here! Adam & Kevin talk week 1, from Happ's explosive start to the weird, annoying end of the first weekend. Good bullpen, iffy starting, Hendricks as hero & a fun tweet from Dexter Fowler to remind us that we're at peak "small sample size."

Kevin and Adam are joined by BP Wrigleyville writer & comedian Ken Schultz to preview the Cubs 2018 season. We analyze the offseason moves, predict breakouts and identify our biggest concerns, pick our most important Cubs for the season, and finally make our predictions for wins and how far the Cubs will go this year. Spoiler: we don't *all* predict a parade. Let's get it on!
