CHICAGO BEEF LEAGUE

As we enter the unofficial break, week 15 of 22, we take a moment to reflect. Nope, that would take too much time. We instead recap week 15 and look ahead to the short 3 game week of week 16. The usual. We then discuss how Baseball's stars have changed over the last 50 years (a lot, in fact). We close discussing what the value is of a draft pick in these #firesale trades. Oh, and Aleks offers his boat to Mike for Bobby Witt Jr. Listen for Mike's reaction.

Week 14 is a close and, boy, was it a downer. However, we recapped the matchups and looked ahead to week 15. With no trades or major transactions to discuss, we segued to our main topic of this week: the All-Star weekend festivities like the Draft, the Futures game and the Home Run Derby. Also, Aleks turned on his lights. Enjoy!

THIRTEEN weeks in and we start to see some separation in the standings. We recap week 13 and finally Aleks did well in his predictions. We're not keeping score but cmon, of course we are. We get into week 14 and go deep into year to date stats of the teams. We found it interesting, hopefully you do too. Enjoy!

Week 11 is a wrap as we approach the halfway point on the season. The playoff picture is murky with 5 teams tied in 3rd (top 6 make playoffs), and Aleks on outside looking in. We review week 11 and look ahead to week 12 matchups including MOTW (Matchup of the week: Jay vs Aleks). Also, can someone remind Dave to update his roster? It would help him greatly.

Week 11 is a wrap, the Commish keeps rolling and continues his 2 game lead on everyone. We discuss week 11 results, Aleks continues to fail at picking teams and we look ahead at week 12. Aleks chose words poorly and I hope he learned from the discussion. We close by looking at Aleks & Chen's fizzled trade proposal and discuss how to be more empathetic trade partners, at this emotional time. No, we didn't do that but it was fun to listen to the logic to the offer.

Week 10 is a wrap. Chen finally gets the elusive W and it was oh, so delicious. We discuss week 10 results and no shocker.... Aleks continues to fall behind in our picks. He needs to #Firesale, stat. Week 11 picks are in, and Aleks gives us his iconic Irish Goodbye. Enjoy!

Howdy everyone! Another week is in the books, and 3 matchups get decided by our other-worldly stat: GAP. As result, Chip, Jay, and Vishnu come out on top in their matchups, while John and Aleks have no trouble in theirs. Suneel losing is among the most beautiful things mankind can witness.

Well, that was a rollercoaster of a week. We review week 8 and the bunch of upsets. And Aleks beat Chen, much to everyone's chagrin. Moving forward, we share week 7 results of picking matchups, we expand on "Moment in Chicago Beef League History" and close on Aleks' recent calamity (Acuna) to his attempt to repeat as champion.

Week 7 is a wrap and HeGone suffers his 1st loss, from no joke, The Brute Squad. We discuss other outcomes and look ahead to week 8 matchups, mainly RIVALRY WEEK with Team Sunicle vs FerniWillow. We wrap by reviewing listener email. Enjoy!

Week 6 recaps, and week 7 prognostications. We spend an inordinate amount of time on Aleks and "the bones", but I promise you will enjoy the extra 20 minutes of banter. Unless you aren't a fan of Willow, to which I would recommend you see it and revel in its majesty.
