Despite the Cubs falling down and crapping on themselves, the baseball playoffs will start on schedule without them.
David Brown joins the pod and after Andy gives the most awkward intro ever, the guys start and end the podcast with deep thoughts on the recent past and near future of the Cubs, and they zip around the playoff bracket to talk about the actual good teams.
Wait until you hear the big idea about how to fix the tiebreaker system and no, it does not involve run differential.
