Sam and Andy take a look at the Cubs remaining schedule and try to find the few wins they’ll need to nail down a playoff spot. Sam asks if we should just get used to Kris Bryant being injured forever and how that increases or decreases his odds of being a Cub long-term. They revisit the exciting Steven Souza era, wonder what the hell goes on in South Bend and why Brailyn Marquez is trapped there. What’s an Ildemaro Vargas, anyway and why are he and Billy Hamilton suddenly holding down the end of the Cubs bench? Does Javy really need to watch video? Is Ryan Dempster really going to replace Jim Deshaies at Marquee and why is it the fault of Crane Kenney not having any friends? And, bonus Bears talk! (Not a lot, but some.)
