Podcast: Things are going just as we predicted
The Baseball Podcast with David Brown returns

Thirty-ish games into the season David Brown is here to talk about how things are going in baseball. Ted Turner's dead, the Reds' record makes no sense, the Cardinals are pretending to be good (they're not), the Giants are terrible, and nobody can beat the Cubs at Wrigley. The guys discuss Jason Benetti's rain delay variety show, just how bad the City Connects in Kansas City and Milwaukee are, and much, much more.

Last night, the Cubs got a shaky but eventually solid start out of Colin Rea, but they tried to close it out with Corbin Martin and that went disastrously bad. Elly De La Cruz hit a sac fly that scored two runs! So, Petecrow got to play the hero.
The overall win streak is eight, the home win streak is 14, and overall the Cubs have won 18 0f their last 21. Seems good.
