The Bears ran the ball well and kept taking it away from the Saints to win their fourth in a row. They also ran some innovative center-QB exchanges which reminded the RECRAP of an old high school trick play. The RECRAP is brought to you by 1-800-Collect and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

One LCS is in full swing and the other is headed for a crashing halt, so it's time for David Brown to stop by and talk some baseball. Where is the supposed spunky Brewers' offense, how did the Cubs blow it, are the Dodgers inevitable, and how evenly matched are the Jays and Mariners? We also discuss which of the free agent Kyles will be more in demand, try to break down all of the options in the Shōta decision, discuss David Ross' managerial prospects and much more.

The Bears made some key mistakes, the refs made a few more, but in the end Jayden Daniels just decided the ball wasn't worth hanging onto and the Bears capitalized with a game winning drive that was capped off by a kicker who looks an awful lot like Cubs' backup catcher Reese McGuire. The Bears ran the ball and mostly stopped the run and gutted out what ended up being a really fun, satisfying win in a place they were humiliated last year. The RECRAP is brought to you by New Coke and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

A Cubs' season that started with such promise but basically flamed out at the All-Star Break met its ultimate demise at the hands of the Brewers in the first real round of the playoffs? Oleg and Praz are here for a supersized edition of the RECRAP brought to you by R. Bernard Funeral Services and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular. We look back a frustrating game five, say goodbye to one outfielder and wish we could say goodbye to another, and we keep saying we aren't going to talk about the offseason, and then talk about the offseason.

The Cubs are back up off the mat and have forced a game five in the NLDS. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk about Ian Happ, who apparently did something, Matt Boyd and the boys who showed a lot of spunk in giving Milwaukee a chance for an epic playoff choke. It's the RECRAP brought to you by Empire Carpet and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

The Cubs staved off elimination and broke a historic streak of postseason run scoring futility (though they may have immediately started a new one) with a 4-3 win over the Brewers in game three of the 2025 NLDS. Oleg and Praz are on the scene to talk about the game, look forward to game four and if you didn' t get overly excited about the win, they have decided you will if they win again in game four.

The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 first inning lead on the Brewers and spent the rest of the game in the fetal position waiting for Milwaukee to stop kicking them. Andy and Oleg handle the postgame duties and try to imagine a scenario where the Cubs finally start putting up a fight.

Sponsored by Murph's Union 76 and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, the RECAP tackles the Cubs wet turd of a performance in Milwaukee to open the NLDS. But, just like you'd do with a real one, you just flush it and move on. Oleg and Praz are here to wonder why the Cubs started Matt Boyd on short rest, instead of saving him for game two on extra rest which would also have allowed them to pitch Shōta with an extra day in game three. Hey, at the least the game was lopsided enough for Ian Happ to actually homer.

The podcast gets off to the same kind of shaky start that Brad Keller had in the ninth, but both ended strong with the Cubs finally winning an elimination game against the San Diego Padres. Join Andy, Oleg and Praz as they break down the game and series winner, on the RECRAP brought to you buy Binny's in 2016 somehow, and of course, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

The Cubs became the first time in Wild Card round history to win the first game of a series at home and not sweep by winning the second. Well, at least no team that won the first game has ever lost the series. Yet. Gulp. Oleg and Praz are here to handle a very special RECRAP postgame.
